It can interfere with and keep you from enjoying many things in life: at work, home, sports, even sleep and sex.</p> <p><strong>Millions of Americans suffer</strong> from low back problems. Lifting injuries, car accidents, falls, or sports causes some. Some seem to have appeared for no good reason at all. Back spasm cause you to cheat. They cause you to use your buttocks or hamstring muscles because your back extensor muscles aren&#8217;t firing. A locked up big toe and dropped arch in your foot throws off your gait which in turn twists your sacrum and pelvis knocking out your low back. <br /> </p> <p><strong>Low back problems and injuries</strong> are the number one work-related injury in the nation. It may be important for you to know that in Washington, all work-related injuries are covered for treatment costs by labor and industry insurance, even without taking a single day off on disability. </p> <p>If you <strong>ignore a spinal problem</strong>, it inevitably degenerates. The vertebrae build up with calcium deposits, which is degenerative joint disease or osteoarthritis. Permanent damage occurs. It is important that you be examined correctly and treated for a spinal injury. The spine is the lifeline of nerves that serve your entire body and it is essential for your health. </p> <p><strong>The underlying problems</strong> can vary. A pinched nerve, a ligament tear, a twisted vertebra, even a damaged spinal disc can cause low back pain. There can be numbness, pain that shoots down a leg, or problems from nerve compression affecting the bladder, female organs, intestines or prostate gland. Symptoms you might not at first think of, like constipation or infertility may be the result of low back spinal problems. </p> <p>A <strong>new low back injury</strong> is best dealt with properly as soon as possible. It is easier and faster to fix a spine that is not allowed the time to adapt and compensate to a problem. <br /></p> <p>When your <strong>low back pinches the nerve</strong> that runs down the back of your leg - the sciatic nerve, it is a painful and severe condition called <strong>sciatica</strong>. Sciatica can be corrected with the most advanced chiropractic procedures.</p> <p><strong>Chronic pain is bad</strong> for your attitude and hard on your smile. It is a stress factor that runs down your adrenal glands, and leaves you under-rested and over-stressed. </p> <p>Nearly all <strong>low back pains</strong> and condition are <strong>correctable and curable</strong>. The new advanced techniques from Applied Kinesiology, the chiropractic specialty that developed muscle-testing as a diagnostic method are employed at our clinic. It can identify the cause of the problem, and rapidly get you pain-free.</p> <p>The <strong>new breakthrough technology called Proprioceptive Technique</strong> enables us to get rid of pain that has plagued patients for years. Even for people who feel they have already tried everything and done it all. That includes patients who have seen lots of other physicians, orthopedists&rsquo; and physical therapists, even those who have treated with other chiropractors before finding us.</p> <p>Patients with <strong>disc injuries or disease</strong> - the worst of spine problems - now have a superior alternative to surgery or just living with severe unrelenting pain or numbness. With the specialized disc techniques used in our office, nerve pressure can be eliminated. Then the patient can return to an active and even athletic life. </p> <p><strong>Nutritional supplementation</strong> is invaluable in healing many back conditions. You can repair ligaments, discs and nerves faster with the correct nutritional therapy. Muscle spasms and pain can be reduced better with nutrients than with drugs. </p> <p>It is unnecessary to live with chronic pain that harms your general health and detracts from your quality of life. Correcting a low back problem, not living with one while it degenerates, is definitely the way to go. </p>

I just figured this was normal.&#8221;</p><p>It&#8217;s not normal to be in any kind of pain. It&#8217;s not normal to have heart disease, diabetes, allergies, autism or any other illness or disease. Most of the time back pain is related to mental or emotional beliefs that are no longer serving you. Beliefs are often LIES that end up endangering our health. Most often they are related to lack of sex or money. </p><p>The spine is an engine that provides the motive power we need to use our legs to walk or run. This spinal engine enables us to use our shoulders and arms to perform all of the tasks our upper extremties perform yet we take forgranted.</p><p>Low back pain is tied together with structural distorations of the sacrum, the pelvis, both knees and several important joints in our feet. It&#8217;s also often times directly connected to problems in the neck that are being transferred down to the low back. One almost has to be a detective to figure out who is causing what. Yet every imbalance in the body is linked together in a predictible pattern that I find easy to identify and even easier to fix. In general anytime you experience pain, decreased motion, inflexibility or inbalance you&#8217;re dealing with an energy block.</p><p>In my development as an energy healer I have learned a number of ways to solve low back pain issues. Which one I use depends on the your specific needs. I invite you to call 425-776-8657 and schedule a no-obligation consultation and experience for yourself what true healing is all about.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
