How is Low Back Pain Treated at Sun Chiropractic?
When your back is in pain, there is little you can do without noticing it.
What is the most effective treatment for acute low back pain? Research indicates that a combination of chiropractic spinal manipulation, soft tissue therapy, and active exercise is the most effective approach for reducing low back pain and restoring mobility. At our Winnipeg clinic, we focus on evidence-based protocols to help patients return to normal activity quickly and safely.
Back pain can keep you from performing essential daily activities. Whether standing, bending over, sitting down at work, or even just getting out of bed, everything is affected, and we know how to help.
Without proper treatment, back pain can have a long-term impact on your health and mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions About Low Back Pain
-
When should I see a chiropractor for my back pain? You should consult a chiropractor if your back pain lasts more than a few days, follows a specific injury, or is accompanied by stiffness that limits your daily movement. Early intervention often prevents acute pain from becoming a chronic issue.
-
Can chiropractic care help with sciatica or leg pain? Yes. Sciatica is often caused by nerve compression in the lower spine. By utilizing manual adjustments and decompression techniques, we can reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve, alleviating pain, numbness, and tingling in the legs.
-
How many sessions will it take to feel better? While every patient is unique, many experience significant relief within a few visits. Our goal is "People-centered" care, meaning we tailor the frequency of your visits to your specific recovery goals and functional progress.

The Causes Of Back Pain
Your spine is made up of 24 bones stacked on top of each other with a soft "disc" between each segment to allow for flexibility. Normally, each joint in your spine should move freely and independently.
To help visualize this, imagine a normal spine functioning like a big spring moving freely in every direction. A spine with a joint restriction is like having a section of that spring welded together. The spring may still move as a whole, but a portion of it is no longer functioning.
When the joints in your back cannot move like they should.
Back pain is the result. Is that what's happening to you?
Joint restrictions can develop in many ways. Sometimes they are brought on by an accident or an injury. Other times, they develop from repetitive strains or poor posture.
Being overweight, smoking, strenuous work, and emotional stress can make you more susceptible to problems. Restricted joints give rise to a self-perpetuating cycle of discomfort. Joint restriction causes swelling and inflammation, which triggers muscular guarding leading to more restriction.
Since your spine functions as a unit, rather than as isolated pieces, a joint restriction in one area of your spine often causes "compensatory" problems in another. Think of this as a rowboat with multiple oarsmen on each side.
When one rower quits, the others are placed under additional stress and can become overworked.
If you have back pain you should know that there is a good chance we can help.
Joint restrictions most commonly cause local tenderness and discomfort.
You may notice that your range of motion is limited. Movement may increase your discomfort. Pain from a restricted joint often trickles around your rib cage or up & down your spine. Be sure to tell your chiropractor if your symptoms include any chest pain, shortness of breath, unusual cough, indigestion or flu-like complaints.
Here's The Hope
You should recognize that your problem is common and generally treatable.
Chiropractic care has been shown to be among the safest and most effective treatments for many types of back pain, especially those caused by restricted or altered joint movement.
Our office offers several evidence-based strategies to help ease your pain and speed your recovery.
