What is low back pain in Vernon Hills?  Pain in your spine lower than your shoulders and above your hips.

Typically, 80% of people will experience low back pain at some point in their life.

Why You May Be Suffering From Low Back Pain in Vernon HIlls IL

1. Causes or contributing factors like accidents, genetics, overuse and degeneration.

Whether its genetics or degeneration there is typically three areas of the spine that I look at for damage.

First, is the disc and facet joints.  Second would be ligaments/tendons holding bones together.  Third would be soft tissue injury to either the nerves or the muscles.

2. Mechanism of action- what movements produce this injury – most commonly it’s extending and rotation too far.

A good example of this would be trying to lift something too heavy and/or too fast.

3. Demographic

We see a larger number of patients in their 30-60’s experiencing LBP due to overuse or sometimes not being physically fit.

Pointers/Tips:  Exercise regularly, weight loss, proper ergonomics throughout your daily routine.
