Introduction
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical help, affecting millions of adults each year. It can result from poor posture, injury, muscle strain, or degenerative changes in the spine.

2. Muscle and Joint Therapy
Targeted soft tissue work reduces tension and inflammation in supporting muscles and ligaments.
3. Improved Nervous System Function
Correct alignment supports better nerve communication, helping the body heal naturally.
4. Posture and Lifestyle Guidance
Your chiropractor can recommend stretches, core-strengthening exercises, and ergonomic tips to prevent pain from returning.
