FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER - Getting to the Core of Low Back Pain
Have you ever noticed how a stiff or aching lower back sneaks up on you—whether after a long drive, a tough workout, or just sitting at your desk?
You're not alone. Low back pain affects millions and is one of the top reasons people seek treatment in our clinic each year.
It's not just about muscles
It's About Communication!
Pain isn't just about tight muscles or worn-out joints—it's about how well your brain and body communicate. If your deep core muscles aren't activating properly, your body compensates by overworking other areas, like your lower back or hips. Over time, this leads to stiffness, discomfort, and even injury.
Facts about Low back Pain
1. MOST LOWER BACK PAIN ISN'T STRUCTURAL
Research shows that over 90% of lower back pain cases are due to poor neuromuscular control, not structural issues like herniated discs or arthritis.
2. SITTING CAN WEAKEN CORE ACTIVATION
Over time, this can lead to poor posture, stiffness, and compensations that contribute to chronic pain.
3. A STRONG CORE ISN'T ABOUT VISIBLE ABS
It's about how well your deep stabilizing muscles work together with your brain to support your spine.
The Good News?
Low back pain can often be improved by retraining the connection between your brain and core muscles.
By restoring this communication, you can reduce pain, enhance stability, and move with more control.
If you're ready to take the first step toward a stronger, pain-free back, feel free to get set up with Dr. Labelle for a chiropractic appointment combined with Sigma Q Neurotherapy.
