Toronto Low Back Pain May Be Relieved with Care of the Diaphragm
The diaphragm and back pain. What’s the connection? Curious! Researchers have been reporting how manipulation affects the diaphragm and its ability to have some bearing on and relieve non-specific back pain. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre includes this knowledge into its Toronto chiropractic treatment plan for relief of Toronto non-specific low back pain.
NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Chronic non-specific low back pain is back pain that has been bothersome for more than 3 months and does not appear to have a specific cause. Usual care is education and reassurance, analgesic meds, and non-pharmacological therapies. Formal medical care is not commonly needed yet imaging, opioids and surgery are often overused. (1) Visceral fascial limitations, restrictions of the deep fibrous connective tissues enclosing muscles, bones, nerves, arteries and veins), may produce pain in the lumbar spine. Caring for patients who experience non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may be relieving. (2) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre sees Toronto low back pain patients with this type of condition. This type of pain is often annoying for patients, and Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre can often help.
Toronto CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
An interesting approach chiropractic’s collegial profession of osteopathy uses and publishes cases and explanations of its success in reducing non-specific low back pain is treating the diaphragm, that dome-shaped muscular structure that divides the thoracic (chest) and abdominal areas of the body. The diaphragm starts along the lumbar vertebrae of the spine and connects to the lower ribs. (3) It moves when we breathe. Stretching the diaphragm notably improves cervical spine extension, right and left cervical spine flexion, flexibility of the posterior chain (the muscles of the backside of the body) and ribcage excursion at the xiphoid level (the lower tip of the chest’s sternum). (4) Via manipulation and treating the diaphragm produced significant reduction in pain and disability for patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. (5) Treating the thoracic spine (mid-back) with mobilization along with treatment of the low back specifically and breathing exercises for non-specific chronic low back pain improves respiration and reduces disability for these patients. (6) Improvements like this are very appreciated by sufferers with Toronto non-specific low back pain.
