The diaphragm and back pain. What is the relationship?
Interesting! Researchers have been describing
how manipulation influences the diaphragm and its
capacity to have some bearing on and relieve
non-specific back pain. Johnson Chiropractic includes
this data into its Richmond chiropractic treatment
plan to reduce Richmond non-specific
low back pain.
NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Chronic non-specific low back pain is back pain that
has been bothersome for more than 3
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 usually needed however
imaging, opioids and surgery are often overused. (1) Visceral
fascial limitations, restrictions of the deep fibrous connective tissues enclosing
muscles, bones, nerves, arteries and veins), may cause pain in the
lumbar spine. Caring for patients with
non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may help. (2) Johnson Chiropractic sees Richmond low
back pain patients like this. Such
pain is many times annoying for patients, and
Johnson Chiropractic can often help.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
An effective approach
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 areas of the body. The diaphragm originates
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 reduction
in pain and disability for patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. (5)
Treating the thoracic spine (mid-back) with mobilization in
combination 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 Richmond non-specific low back pain.
