Low Back Pain

Acute low back pain is the fifth most common reason for visits to the doctor and 90% of the adults in the U.S. will experience this malady at some point in their life.

And it is expensive! Direct costs of low back pain totals over $20 billion every year with indirect costs accounting for over $50 billion.

Key To Treating Low Back Pain

The key to treating low back pain is properly diagnosing the condition so it can be treated in the most effective manner. That is why taking medication for low back pain without a proper diagnosis is a terrible idea. Covering up the pain does not correct the problem and may actually allow the condition to worsen thereby raising the cost both in monetary considerations as well as the agony of additional suffering.

An often overlooked “treatment” for low back conditions is to drink more water because chronic dehydration can cause low back pain in patients who do not consume adequate amounts of water every day.  However, this is only a minor cause of this condition and is restricted to a discrete population. A comprehensive examination will reveal the actual cause of your specific condition.
