Lower Back Pain & Chiropractic Care
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care, and for good reason. Whether it comes on suddenly or has been bothering you for years, lower back pain can affect your work, sleep, mobility, and overall quality of life.
At Bloom Family Chiropractic in Whitby, we get to the root causes of lower back pain, not just the symptoms. Here's what you need to know about how we can help.
What Causes Lower Back Pain?
There’s no one-size-fits-all cause, which is why a detailed assessment is so important. Spinal stressors can be sudden, like injuries, or gradual, building up day after day. Some common causes we tend to see in clinic include:
Poor posture or prolonged sitting
Muscle strains or ligament sprains
Disc injuries (bulges or herniations)
Sciatica or nerve compression
Arthritis or joint degeneration
Improper lifting or movement habits
Previous injuries that never fully healed
Our chiropractors will take the time to identify exactly what's contributing to your pain so we can create a personalized treatment plan.
Chiropractic Treatment for Lower Back Pain
Most patients receive hands-on care during their first visit, when appropriate. Our Chiropractors use a blend of different treatment options, which may include:
Manual chiropractic adjustments to restore proper motion and alignment
Low-force techniques (Activator instrument) for gentle, precise care
Soft tissue release to reduce muscle tension and inflammation
Rehabilitative exercises to strengthen and support the lower back
Postural advice and ergonomic recommendations to prevent future flare-ups
Low level laser therapy to speed healing and reduce pain
Each treatment plan is customized for your specific condition, comfort level, and goals.
How Long Will It Take to Feel Better?
Everyone heals at a different pace. Some patients feel relief after just one or two visits, while others require a series of treatments for long-term improvement. Our focus is always on evidence-based care that leads to lasting results.
We’ll also equip you with simple at-home exercises, stretches, and tips to support your recovery between visits.
