The solution to lower back pain: Chiropractic treatment

Providing information about the causes of lower back pain, Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Specialist Esma Karakuş stated, "There can be many causes of lower back pain. Among these are pathological issues, dysfunctions related to the musculoskeletal system, and dysfunctions related to the pelvic floor; all of these are structures that can create pain in the lower back."

Physiotherapist Karakuş explained the relationship with pelvic floor dysfunction, one of the causes of lower back pain, as follows:

“It causes pain by creating what we call trigger points in our musculoskeletal systems. If structures we call trigger points have also formed in the pelvic floor, these can create pain that radiates to the lower back, hips, and legs. If there is a pathological condition (herniated disc, nerve compression, inflammation, etc.), it must first be evaluated by a specialist physician. If there is no pathological condition, trigger points can be evaluated.”

'IT RELAXES THE SKELETAL SYSTEM'

Touching upon the effect of chiropractic treatment, which has been very popular lately, on lower back pain, its effectiveness, and what should be done to prevent pain, Physiotherapist Karakuş continued her words as follows:

“Chiropractic applications are a part of our manual applications, which we refer to as manipulation. Due to the sound it makes, it is among the first choices for people mentally and with the thought of a quick solution. It is among the choices that should be preferred last, after first evaluating the body as a musculoskeletal system, relaxing the musculoskeletal system a little, and eliminating the problem.

Chiropractic applications must be performed by the relevant specialist. When applied by anyone other than the relevant specialist, it can cause very serious mistakes. Whether chiropractic applications are effective or not can be evaluated step by step, and after the necessary problem is eliminated first, it can be applied last if needed.

'ATTENTION MUST ALSO BE PAID TO NUTRITION'

It would be wrong to say that chiropractic application can definitely eliminate the problem or leave it unresolved. However, it is not an application that should be preferred in the first stage. To prevent lower back pain, we need to keep our musculoskeletal system healthy. Looking at it holistically, we also need to pay attention to our nutrition.

On the other hand, if we need to evaluate it from the perspective of our profession, we can increase our muscle strength, volume, and endurance. We can evaluate and implement how we can adapt to our work by avoiding incorrect movements and increasing our body awareness.”
