The diaphragm and back pain. What is the relationship?
Interesting! Researching clinicians have been describing
how manipulation has an effect on the diaphragm and its
ability to affect and improve
non-specific back pain. Spinal Care Clinic integrates
this information into its Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic treatment
plan to reduce Burlington and Hamilton 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 does not 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 yet
imaging, opioids and surgery continued to be overused. (1) Visceral
fascial limitations, restrictions of the deep fibrous connective tissues enclosing
muscles, bones, nerves, arteries and veins), may produce pain in the
lumbar spine. Treating patients who experience
non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may be
relieving. (2) Spinal Care Clinic sees Burlington and Hamilton low
back pain patients like this. This type of
pain is many times frustrating for patients, and
Spinal Care Clinic can often help.

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 relieving 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 originates
along the lumbar vertebrae of the spine and connects to the
lower ribs. (3) It moves when we breathe. Stretching the diaphragm significantly
enhances 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 excursion at the xiphoid level (the bottom
tip of the chest’s sternum). (4) Using manipulation and
treating the diaphragm produced 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 and
breathing exercises for non-specific chronic low back pain improves respiration
and reduces disability for these patients. (6) Improvements
like this are most welcomed
by sufferers with Burlington and Hamilton non-specific low back pain.
