Ashburn and Herndon Low Back Pain May Be Relieved with Care of the Diaphragm

July 17, 2018

The diaphragm and back pain. What is the connection? Interesting! Researching clinicians have been describing how manipulation has an effect on the diaphragm and its capacity to influence and improve non-specific back pain. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn incorporates this information into its Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic treatment plan to relieve Ashburn and Herndon non-specific low back pain.

NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN

Chronic non-specific low back pain is back pain that has been annoying for more than three months and doesn’t appear to have an exact cause. Typical care is education and reassurance, analgesic meds, and non-pharmacological therapies. Formal medical care is not commonly needed however imaging, opioids and surgery are often overused. (1) Visceral fascial limitations, restrictions of the deep fibrous connective tissues surrounding muscles, bones, nerves, arteries and veins), may cause pain in the lumbar spine. Caring for patients who have non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may be relieving. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn welcomes Ashburn and Herndon low back pain patients like this. This type of pain is many times frustrating for patients, and Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn can often help.

Ashburn and Herndon CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN

An interesting approach chiropractic’s collegial profession of osteopathy uses and writes cases and explanations of its success in reducing non-specific low back pain is taking care of the diaphragm, that dome-shaped muscular structure that separates the thoracic (chest) and abdominal sections 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 significantly enhances 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) By means of manipulation and treating the diaphragm created significant improvement in pain and disability for patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. (5) Treating the thoracic spine (mid-back) with mobilization in combination with treatment of the low back specifically plus breathing exercises for non-specific chronic low back pain improves respiration and lessens disability for these patients. (6) Improvements like this are very appreciated by sufferers with Ashburn and Herndon non-specific low back pain.
