Back Pain in Pukekohe

Advanced Care with Our Flexion Traction Table

Back pain is one of the most common health concerns and can have a significant impact on the way you move, work and enjoy everyday life. When your lower back isn’t functioning well, even simple things can become difficult - getting out of bed, sitting at your desk, lifting the kids, exercising, or enjoying a walk around Pukekohe.

Your lower back, or lumbar spine, is a remarkable structure. It supports the weight of your upper body, allows you to bend, twist and lift, and protects the nerves that carry important messages between your brain and lower body.

When pain develops in this area, the effects can extend well beyond your back. It may affect your mobility, work, exercise, sleep and overall sense of wellbeing. In fact, low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide.

Understanding what may be contributing to your back pain is an important first step towards improving how your body moves and functions.

How Chiropractic Care May Help Lower Back Pain

At Living Family Chiropractic in Pukekohe, we support people experiencing lower back pain, stiffness and restricted movement. Chiropractic care focuses on improving movement within the spine and supporting the way your brain and nervous system sense, coordinate and control your body.

While every person’s back pain is different, chiropractic care may help with:

Reduced lower back pain and stiffness - Research suggests chiropractic care may help reduce the intensity of low back pain and improve everyday function.
Improved lower back mobility - Restoring movement to restricted areas of the lumbar spine may help you bend, twist and move more freely.
Better posture and body awareness - Improving spinal movement and awareness of how your body is positioned may support healthier posture and movement throughout your day.
Improved spinal function - Supporting healthy movement of the spine helps your nervous system receive and respond to information from your body, supporting coordination and overall function.
