Cause Of Low Back Problems

Dr. William Morgan explains that low back pain is a common problem among middle-aged individuals, and many sufferers begin to seek chiropractic care in their 30s and 40s. However, back problems begin during our youth, and spinal degeneration can start as early as age 10, provided some trauma has occurred, such as from competitive sports or simply goofing off as a child. While children seem to shake off the injury with little future consequence, having back pain is not the same as having a back problem, such as a sprain of the disk. When the pain subsides, it does not always mean that symmetrical motion of the joint is restored and the vertebrae are now back in their normal position ¹.

Our bodies have a tremendous capacity to heal on their own without any type of doctor helping out. But sometimes recovery and return to full and optimum health is incomplete. Over time, the effects of gravity and daily stress can cause the joint to become more injured until something as simple as making the bed causes excruciating pain. But was it really the bed making? Probably not since this is something you’ve done every day of your life. A thorough examination by a doctor of chiropractic prior to the onset of pain could have perhaps discovered one of these “silent” injuries. But most people wait until the pain happens before seeking help.
