The diaphragm and back pain. What’s the connection?
Curious! Researchers have been reporting
how manipulation has an effect on the diaphragm and its
ability to affect and improve
non-specific back pain. Vancouver Disc Centers includes
this data into its Vancouver chiropractic treatment
plan to relieve Vancouver non-specific
low back pain.
NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Chronic non-specific low back pain is back pain that’s been annoying for more than 3
months and does not appear to have a specific cause. Usual care is education and encouragement,
analgesic meds, and non-pharmacological therapies. Formal
medical care is not usually needed though
imaging, opioids and surgery continued to be 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. Treating patients who experience
non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may be
relieving. (2) Vancouver Disc Centers sees Vancouver low
back pain patients with this type of condition. This type of
pain is often frustrating for patients, and
Vancouver Disc Centers can frequently help.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
An interesting method
chiropractic’s collegial profession of osteopathy utilizes and shares
cases and explanations of its success in relieving 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 connects 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 created significant reduction
in pain and disability for patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. (5)
Treating the thoracic spine (mid-back) with mobilization accompanied by 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 welcomed
by sufferers with Vancouver non-specific low back pain.
