Manahawkin Low Back Pain May Be Relieved with Care of the Diaphragm

July 17, 2018

The diaphragm and back pain. What is the link? Curious! Researching clinicians have been describing how manipulation has an effect on the diaphragm and its capacity to influence and relieve non-specific back pain. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center includes this information into its Manahawkin chiropractic treatment plan to relieve Manahawkin non-specific low back pain.

NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN

Chronic non-specific low back pain is back pain that has been annoying for more than three months and doesn’t appear to have a specific cause. Usual care is education and encouragement, analgesic meds, and non-pharmacological therapies. Formal medical care is not commonly needed though imaging, opioids and surgery continued to be overused. (1) Visceral fascial limitations, restrictions of the deep fibrous connective tissues surrounding muscles, bones, nerves, arteries and veins), may produce pain in the lumbar spine. Treating patients with non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may help. (2) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center welcomes Manahawkin low back pain patients with this type of condition. Such pain is often frustrating for patients, and Manahawkin Chiropractic Center can frequently help.

Manahawkin CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN

An interesting approach chiropractic’s collegial profession of osteopathy uses and writes 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 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 significantly improves cervical spine extension, right and left cervical spine flexion, flexibility of the posterior chain (the muscles of the backside of the body) and ribcage movement at the xiphoid level (the lower tip of the chest’s sternum). (4) Using manipulation and treating the diaphragm created significant improvement in pain and disability for patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. (5) Treating the thoracic spine (mid-back) with mobilization along with treatment of the low back specifically plus breathing exercises for non-specific chronic low back pain improves respiration and lessens disability for these patients. (6) Such improvements are most appreciated by sufferers with Manahawkin non-specific low back pain.
