All those hours spent hunched over a computer keyboard or slouching on the couch can really catch up with you! Poor posture compresses the lower spine, triggering nerve compression and pain. An accident injury can have a similar affect on the spine. Car accidents, sports injuries, or even an accidental slip and fall can result in a spinal misalignment. A herniated or slipped disc in the lower back, for example, can compress nearby nerves. If the disc compresses the sciatic nerve, this compression may trigger a radiating pain sensation along the length of the nerve. This condition, known as sciatica, is incredibly painful. Since the sciatic nerve travels from the lower back down the buttocks and the upper legs, this pain can truly become overwhelming and stop you from living an active life.

Chiropractic adjustments relieve pain because adjustments bring correct alignment back to the spine. When the spine is correctly aligned, it no longer compresses nearby nerves, which reduces nerve pain. Less compression can also enhance mobility and reduce some muscle stiffness and soreness. In short, a correctly aligned spine is a healthy, strong foundation for the entire body
