If you’ve been noticing pain in your lower back that extends from your hip down to the back of your leg, you may be experiencing a condition called Sciatica. The pain can vary from a dull ache to pins and needles to sharp electric shock like pains. Notice burning, tingling sensations or numbness as well? These are the added perks of Sciatica.

Sciatica is generally caused by a pinched nerve but things like having a bulging disc, misalignment of the spine, pregnancy and childbirth, constipation or something simple like sitting on your wallet in your back pocket can increase your chances but at the bare minimum will cause unnecessary lower back pains.

At Primary Care Chiropractic, our chiropractors performs a full assessment to locate the source of the pain and the surrounding areas. If you’ve been experiencing lower back pains, dull aches, pins and needles or any type of numbness in your back or legs,

book your consultation with Primary Care Chiropractic.

If simple tasks like lifting your arm, putting on a shirt or brushing your teeth causes you some sort of pain you could be experiencing pain in your shoulder or elbow. These pains are likely caused by repetitive movement like swinging at a tennis ball or golf club, sitting at a computer typing all day or picking and packing in a warehouse for work. Whatever the task is, it’s the wear and tear of your body and can cause mild to chronic pain over time.

If you think back to when you first started noticing any type of pain, it probably would have started off small, you know, like a small ache or irritation that you pushed through, until you started noticing it more which meant Dencorub or Deep Heat Cream or heat pads to alleviate the pain because life just gets in the way.

Things like sitting on an office chair all day, turning your head to look over your shoulder or constantly holding a child on a particular side of your body to keep your other hand free can cause poor posture.

Neck and upper back pains are as common as waking up for your morning coffee and if you’re sitting all day in your 9-5 job without paying attention to the way you sit or you’re constantly turning your head to look over your shoulder, it’s likely that you’ve experienced some type of neck or upper back pain.

These are the typical pains that you get and shrug off or tell yourself that ‘I’ll get better when I lie down’. It’s the pain that gets better with a little massage or a little rub but it’s that niggling pain that just never really goes away. If you’re like the majority of people, you’re probably thinking that it’s just a muscle problem like an ache you get after doing three sets of 50 push ups. Sometimes it’s a muscle issue but in most scenarios, it can be more serious.

At Primary Care Chiropractic, our chiropractors' core belief of understanding the root cause before making a diagnosis is paramount to proper management of neck and upper back pains.
