July 17, 2018

The diaphragm and back pain. What’s the connection? Interesting! Researching clinicians have been reporting how manipulation influences the diaphragm and its ability to have some bearing on and improve non-specific back pain. Old Mill Chiropractic integrates this knowledge into its St Peters chiropractic treatment plan to reduce St Peters 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 three months and doesn’t appear to have an exact cause. Usual care is education and encouragement, analgesic medications, and non-pharmacological therapies. Formal medical care is not usually required however 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 cause pain in the lumbar spine. Treating patients with non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may help. (2) Old Mill Chiropractic welcomes St Peters low back pain patients with this type of condition. Such pain is often annoying for patients, and Old Mill Chiropractic can frequently help.

St Peters 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 reducing non-specific low back pain is taking care of the diaphragm, that dome-shaped muscular structure that separates the thoracic (chest) and abdominal sections of the body. The diaphragm starts along the lumbar vertebrae of the spine and attaches to the lower ribs. (3) It moves when we breathe. Stretching the diaphragm notably improves cervical spine extension, right and left cervical spine flexion, flexibility of the posterior chain (the muscles of the back part 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 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 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) Improvements like this are most appreciated by sufferers with St Peters non-specific low back pain.
