Lumbago—more commonly known as lower back pain—is one of the most frequent reasons people seek medical attention. Affecting millions of people each year, lumbago can present as a mild, persistent ache or as severe, sharp pain that limits movement and interrupts everyday life. At CORE Health Centers, we specialize in delivering safe, non-invasive, and effective chiropractic care to help patients overcome lumbago and achieve long-term relief.
Understanding Lumbago
Lumbago isn’t a diagnosis in itself but a general term used to describe pain or discomfort in the lower back. This condition can be triggered by various underlying issues, including:
-
Muscle strain or ligament sprain
-
Poor posture and spinal misalignment
-
Herniated or bulging discs
-
Degenerative spinal conditions like arthritis
-
Sciatica or nerve compression
Whether your symptoms begin suddenly after lifting something heavy or develop gradually over time, it’s essential to take lower back pain seriously. Common signs of lumbago include:
-
A dull or aching pain in the lower back
-
Stiffness or reduced flexibility
-
Pain that worsens with movement, prolonged standing, or sitting
-
Discomfort radiating to the hips, buttocks, or legs
-
Tingling or numbness, especially if nerve involvement (such as sciatica) is present
Left untreated, lumbago can evolve into a chronic condition that significantly impacts your quality of life. That’s why early intervention is key.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic care offers a drug-free, surgery-free approach to addressing the root causes of lumbago. Instead of masking symptoms with medications, chiropractic focuses on correcting spinal misalignments and restoring proper nervous system function. At CORE Health Centers, our chiropractors take a holistic and personalized approach to your care.
Here are some of the chiropractic treatments we may use to relieve lower back pain:
-
Spinal Adjustments
These gentle, targeted manipulations help realign the spine, reduce nerve irritation, and promote natural healing. Adjustments can ease pressure on joints, improve mobility, and reduce inflammation. -
Therapeutic Exercises
Specific stretches and strengthening routines are used to support spinal stability and improve muscular balance. These exercises help restore function and reduce the risk of future flare-ups. -
Posture and Ergonomic Coaching
Many cases of lumbago stem from daily habits like poor sitting posture or improper lifting techniques. Our chiropractors offer guidance on how to move and work in ways that protect your spine. -
Lifestyle and Nutritional Counseling
Good spinal health is supported by overall wellness. We provide nutritional advice, stress management techniques, and wellness strategies to support your recovery and long-term health.
At CORE Health Centers, we focus not just on relieving pain, but on helping you build a healthier spine and body for the long haul.
When Should You Seek Help for Lumbago?
Lower back pain is often brushed off as something that will go away on its own. While minor aches can sometimes resolve with rest and stretching, persistent or worsening discomfort should never be ignored. If your back pain has lasted more than a few days, is becoming more intense, or is starting to limit your ability to function, it may be a sign of a deeper issue that needs professional attention.
You should consider seeking chiropractic care if you experience any of the following:
-
Pain that persists for more than a few days despite rest, ice, or over-the-counter pain relief
-
Stiffness or limited range of motion that makes it difficult to bend, twist, or move freely
-
Pain that radiates into your hips, buttocks, or down one or both legs—a possible sign of nerve involvement like sciatica
-
Tingling, numbness, or weakness in your legs or feet
-
Difficulty standing, walking, or sitting for extended periods without discomfort
-
Back pain that interferes with sleep, affects your posture, or disrupts your daily routine
-
Recurring episodes of back pain, even if the pain temporarily subsides
