Lower back pain is commonly caused by participation in sports, including soccer, horseback riding, volleyball, basketball and more. It appears with the onset of growing muscles, bones and developing joints. X-rays are used if the condition is chronic, recurring or not resolving. X-rays also will provide information regarding congenital structural weaknesses or scoliosis. Young patients often respond quickly with manipulation, interferential physiotherapy and, if needed, a home exercise program.
* All cases at Progressive Natural Health are assessed and co-managed, if needed, with other doctors for necessary medications, pain management or referral for a secondary opinion.
