The diaphragm and back pain. What’s the link?
Curious! Researchers have been describing
how manipulation has an effect on the diaphragm and its
capacity to affect and relieve
non-specific back pain. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR incorporates
this data into its Colorado Springs chiropractic treatment
plan to reduce Colorado Springs 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 three
months and does not seem to have an
exact cause. Typical care is education and encouragement,
analgesic meds, and non-pharmacological therapies. Formal
medical care is not typically required though
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 produce pain in the
lumbar spine. Treating patients who have
non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may help. (2) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR welcomes Colorado Springs low
back pain patients like this. Such
pain is often frustrating for patients, and

CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
An effective 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 originates
along the lumbar vertebrae of the spine and attaches to the
lower ribs. (3) It moves when we breathe. Stretching the diaphragm significantly
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) Using 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 in
combination with treatment of the low back specifically plus
breathing exercises for non-specific chronic low back pain improves respiration
and reduces disability for these patients. (6) Such improvements are very welcomed
by sufferers with Colorado Springs non-specific low back pain.
