Low Back Pain

Low back pain is a common occurrence for many people and one of the number one causes of job-related injuries. Some instances of lower back pain last only a few days or weeks. This is called short-term, or acute, lower back pain. Generally, acute lower back pain is due to mechanical issues—usually from strain on muscles or joints, or an injury while doing something strenuous like heavy lifting or playing sports. Symptoms are often tender or sore muscles, shooting pains, limited flexibility, and trouble standing or bending over. Acute lower back pain can often go away on its own, with rest and relaxation. Left untreated however, some acute lower back pain can develop into something more severe.

Chronic lower back pain is much more serious and should be treated as soon as possible. Lower back pain that persists for more than 3 months is considered chronic and requires attention from a health practitioner. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, chronic lower back pain can lead to other more extreme conditions and can even cause permanent damage.

Low Back Pain Treatments Explained

Chiropractors have many methods at their disposal. That said, some procedures are used more often than others. When it comes to low back pain, chiropractic adjustments rank among the most effective pain relief methods. In fact, over a century ago the entire field of chiropractic care started with chiropractic adjustments.

By mobilizing subluxated vertebrae into their proper positions, Dr. Kim can ensure proper alignment, relieving pain in your lower back. For patients in Hackensack, NJ, who are nervous or sensitive, Dr. Kim is also certified to perform manipulation on people under anesthesia. 

Dr. Kim can also address lower back pain through the use of acupuncture and advanced technologies like low-level lasers. Both of these techniques focus on stimulating healing processes and natural pain relief mechanisms deep beneath the skin. We also offer spinal decompression to take pressure off herniated discs and nerve roots.
