The lumbar spine, or low back, is a remarkably well-engineered structure of interconnecting bones, joints, nerves, ligaments, and muscles all working together to provide support, strength, and flexibility. However, this complex structure also leaves the low back susceptible to injury and pain.
After over 30 years in practice I have seen many types of low back causes. Injuries are not the most common cause as you may logically think. Causes may be a foot problem that we correct. it may be a neck restriction that needs fixing. It could be a pelvic floor weakness, or polycystic ovaries referring pain. It is my job to diagnose, correct or refer.
So, best to diagnose first than just going in and manipulating anything and everything.
