The Condition

What is Lower Back Pain?

Lower back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions and affects the majority of adults at some point in their lives. Causes may include poor posture, lifting injuries, repetitive strain, disc injuries, sciatica, muscle imbalance, spinal dysfunction, degenerative changes, and prolonged sitting or standing. Symptoms can range from stiffness and muscle tension to sharp pain, nerve irritation, numbness, weakness, and reduced mobility that may interfere with work, exercise, sleep, and daily activities. Don't ignore persistent lower back pain, stiffness, or sciatica symptoms. Left unaddressed, spinal dysfunction and movement limitations can progressively affect mobility, posture, activity levels, and long-term spinal health. The doctors at Flintridge Family Chiropractic provide personalized, movement-focused chiropractic care designed to help patients reduce pain, improve mobility, restore function, and return to daily activities with greater comfort and confidence.
