The diaphragm and back pain. What’s the relationship?
Curious! Researchers have been reporting
how manipulation affects the diaphragm and its
ability to have some bearing on and improve
non-specific back pain. Apple Country Chiropractic includes
this information into its Williamson chiropractic treatment
plan to reduce Williamson non-specific
low back pain.
NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Chronic non-specific low back pain is back pain that
has been troublesome for more than 3
months and doesn’t seem to have an
exact cause. Typical care is education and encouragement,
analgesic medications, and non-pharmacological therapies. Formal
medical care is not commonly needed though
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 produce pain in the
lumbar spine. Treating patients who have
non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may be
relieving. (2) Apple Country Chiropractic welcomes Williamson low
back pain patients with this type of condition. This type of
pain is many times annoying for patients, and
Apple Country Chiropractic can often help.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
An interesting approach
chiropractic’s collegial profession of osteopathy uses and writes
cases and explanations of its success in relieving non-specific
low back pain is taking care of the diaphragm, that dome-shaped
muscular structure that separates the thoracic (chest) and
abdominal sections of the body. The diaphragm originates
along the lumbar vertebrae of the spine and connects to the
lower ribs. (3) It moves when we breathe. Stretching the diaphragm notably
enhances cervical spine extension, right and left cervical spine
flexion, flexibility of the posterior chain (the muscles of the back part
of the body) and ribcage movement at the xiphoid level (the bottom
tip of the chest’s sternum). (4) By means of manipulation and
treating the diaphragm produced significant reduction
in pain and disability for patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. (5)
Treating the thoracic spine (mid-back) with mobilization along 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 very appreciated
by sufferers with Williamson non-specific low back pain.
