The diaphragm and back pain. What is the connection?
Curious! Researching clinicians have been describing
how manipulation has an effect on the diaphragm and its
capacity to affect and relieve
non-specific back pain. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic incorporates
this knowledge into its Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment
plan to reduce Fernandina Beach non-specific
low back pain.
NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Chronic non-specific low back pain is back pain that’s been troublesome for more than 3
months and does not appear to have a specific cause. Typical care is education and reassurance,
analgesic meds, and non-pharmacological therapies. Formal
medical care is not commonly required yet
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 with
non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may help. (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic welcomes Fernandina Beach low
back pain patients like this. Such
pain is many times annoying for patients, and
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic can frequently help.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
An interesting method
chiropractic’s collegial profession of osteopathy uses and writes
cases and explanations of its success in relieving non-specific
low back pain is treating 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 notably
enhances cervical spine extension, right and left cervical spine
flexion, flexibility of the posterior chain (the muscles of the backside
of the body) and ribcage movement at the xiphoid level (the lower
tip of the chest’s sternum). (4) By means of manipulation and
treating the diaphragm produced significant improvement
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 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 Fernandina Beach non-specific low back pain.
