Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek chiropractic care and can arise from multiple structures in the spine.
Common causes include:
- Degeneration or injury of spinal discs
- Muscle strains or ligament sprains
- Spinal misalignment or joint dysfunction
- Nerve irritation such as sciatica
- Damage to bones, joints, or supporting tissues
These issues may also lead to muscle spasms, reduced mobility, and radiating pain into the legs, knees, and feet.
