You do not have to live with back pain
Up to 85 per cent of people are affected by back pain at some time in their lives, leading to approximately 8 million lost working days a year in the UK alone – it is the most frequent cause of days lost from work apart from the common cold.
Poor posture, incorrect lifting technique, overuse, trauma and prolonged sitting can all contribute to back pain. Age, gender and genetics can also influence the risk. Back pain is rarely a symptom of a tumour or infection.
Chiropractic care, together with improved posture and exercises specific to the area, can help ease the pain.
Seek emergency medical help if you are experiencing the sudden onset of:
• Bowel or bladder incontinence
• Difficulty passing urine or feeling a need to, when there is none
• Losing function in both legs
• Numbness around the anus
• Numbness or tingling in the genitals or buttock or a loss of sensation during intercourse.

Why chronic back pain?
Lower back pain is more common since this area bears the most weight. Among the biomechanical constraints causing these ailments, studies have shown that the decrease in lumbar curvature (lordosis) plays a decisive role. (1-3) This loss of alignment (hypolordosis) is the consequence of prolonged incorrect positions in front of the computer for example or in the car, repeated movements at work or during the exercise of a sport, accident, or even birth trauma. Of course, a sedentary lifestyle, poor back and abdominal muscle tone, obesity, repeated heavy lifting and poor posture also contribute to the incidence of back pain.
La posture Optimale
In the ideal posture seen from the front, the head, shoulders, rib cage and pelvis are aligned in a perfectly vertical axis. The spine is straight.
Viewed from the side, the ear, shoulder, thorax, hip, knee and ankle are also aligned in a vertical axis. The spine has three flowing curvatures.
This optimal alignment, postural and vertebral, gives the spine flexibility and resistance, while allowing it a wide range of motion.
How does chronic back pain affect your health?
It is true that spinal misalignment creates a breeding ground for accelerated spinal joint degeneration called osteoarthritis. However, it does not only affect the bones, muscles, ligaments and discs but also the nervous system. The latter is the great conductor of all the functions of the human body. The brain sends its impulses, its vital energy, to the organs and the limbs through the spinal column. The alteration of its alignment, or vertebral subluxation, hinders proper communication between the brain and the rest of the body. This interference can cause pain but also a failure of certain disease-promoting systems.
This is why, for many, suffering from chronic back pain also means experiencing a whole additional set of physical, psychosocial and emotional disorders: headaches, migraines, digestive problems, depression, anxiety, fatigue and impaired immune capacities. . (4-6).
A proven solution for effective relief!
One of the most successful techniques for restoring lordosis in the lower back is lumbar traction developed by chiropractor, Ida Norgaard. Using this method has been shown to not only correct lumbar alignment but also reduce lower back pain and normalize nerve function. (8-10)
Realigning the posture and physiological curvatures of the spine is one of the most effective methods for relieving back pain, recovering mobility and soothing irritation and pressure on delicate nerve roots. that emerge from it. In addition, by covering the vertebral and postural alignment, the stress imposed on the support structures of your spine will be reduced as well as the risk of recurrence of your back pain!
Treat and relieve lower back pain with Chiropractic
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical attention or miss work, and it’s a leading cause of disability worldwide. Most people suffer from back pain at least once.
Chiropractors are specialists in the spine and nervous system. As such, they are best equipped to relieve and correct lower back pain and pain that radiates into the leg.
Sleeping positions and how they lead to back pain
When it comes to back pain and how to deal with it, many people’s issues can be traced back to the way they sleep. If eight hours a day is spent in the same position and it’s the wrong one, this can result in a misaligned spine. It is quite a common problem, and it can quickly lead to discomfort and pain.
Before you begin remedying your sleeping posture, it is vital to know what the best and worst ones are for your spine. Below are details of the good positions you can adopt when you sleep.
Flat on your back – Sleeping like this aids the spine to stay in line. Making sure your legs are straight and your neck isn’t stressed at an angle due to a pile of pillows.
On your side – The optimal sleeping position for your spine is to sleep on your side. However, ensure that your knees are aligned when doing this. Putting a pillow in between them will aid you to keep your pelvis in line when resting.
Unfortunately, there are people who suffer with chronic back pain and this may be due to poor sleep posture. So here are the positions to avoid:
Face down – Sleeping on your stomach can cause a number of issues. It can make your lower back compressed, whilst putting the neck in a twisted position during the night.
Legs spread – Many people who sleep with their legs spread apart find they develop serious issues with their hip joints. This in turn can lead to spinal trouble as you compensate.
One leg higher – When sleeping with one leg bent and one straight, this causes your lower back and pelvis to twist creating unnecessary stress on the spine. Another issue this position can lead to is tighter muscles.
Foetal position – This posture can cause your neck and back to curve, which in turn causes muscles to tense up.
There are many ways to help you stay in the same position when sleeping. Because people do tend to return to their default one, using rests to prop you up can work wonders. As long as there isn’t any unnecessary strain on any part of your body then you will begin to see improvements daily.

Is chiropractic suitable for my child or during my pregnancy?
For kids :
Treatment techniques are suitable for children. They will be different depending on their age, height and weight. I don’t use manipulations until I’m 11.
For pregnant women:
Chiropractic is recommended for pregnant women. It helps relieve pregnancy-related pain, as well as relaxes the muscles of the pelvis. This allows your baby to have more room in your belly and therefore to develop and position themselves better.
I use a chiropractic table that adapts to your body and gentle techniques to relieve your pain or muscle tension. During the consultation I will show you exercises to do alone or in pairs to relax your back.
The frequency of consultations varies according to your needs.
For a so-called “normal” pregnancy without pain, it is recommended to consult once per trimester.
In the case of pain, the frequency of consultations will be explained to you during your first session.
It is advisable to consult once a month for an ideal follow-up.
