Low back pain relates to pain and discomfort localised to the area below the ribs and above the gluteal folds. Low back pain can present with or without referred leg pain. The most common form of low back pain is called “non-specific low back pain” and is defined as pain that does not have a recognisable or known pathology.
Approximately 90% of patients presenting for chiropractic treatment will have non-specific low back pain. At Impulse Chiropractic, our chiropractors go through a thorough history and physical assessment to identify what factors may be contributing to the patient’s low back pain. Non-specific low back pain generally arises from the muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments of the low back and pelvic area.
The other 10% of people will suffer from “specific low back pain”. This is low back pain that relates to a specific condition. Specific low back pain in several circumstances will require treatment and management with other medical interventions.
