The diaphragm and back pain. What’s the connection?
Interesting! Researching clinicians have been describing
how manipulation influences the diaphragm and its
capacity to have some bearing on and improve
non-specific back pain. Pflugerville Wellness Center includes
this information into its Pflugerville chiropractic treatment
plan to reduce Pflugerville non-specific
low back pain.
NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Chronic non-specific low back pain is back pain that
has been troublesome for more than 3
months and does not seem to have a specific cause. Usual care is education and reassurance,
analgesic medications, and non-pharmacological therapies. Formal
medical care is not typically needed however
imaging, opioids and surgery are often overused. (1) Visceral
fascial limitations, restrictions of the deep fibrous connective tissues enclosing
muscles, bones, nerves, arteries and veins), may cause pain in the
lumbar spine. Treating patients who have
non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may help. (2) Pflugerville Wellness Center sees Pflugerville low
back pain patients like this. This type of
pain is many times frustrating for patients, and
Pflugerville Wellness Center can frequently help.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
An interesting approach
chiropractic’s collegial profession of osteopathy uses and shares
cases and explanations of its success in reducing non-specific
low back pain is treating the diaphragm, that dome-shaped
muscular structure that separates the thoracic (chest) and
abdominal areas 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 excursion at the xiphoid level (the bottom
tip of the chest’s sternum). (4) Via manipulation and
treating the diaphragm created significant reduction
in pain and disability for patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. (5)
Treating the thoracic spine (mid-back) with mobilization in
combination with treatment of the low back specifically and
breathing exercises for non-specific chronic low back pain improves respiration
and reduces disability for these patients. (6) Improvements
like this are very appreciated
by sufferers with Pflugerville non-specific low back pain.
