Lower Back Pain Chiropractor in Los Angeles
Find the Cause of Your Back Pain and Move Better
Seeing a lower back pain chiropractor in Los Angeles should start with answers, not guesswork. Because low back pain has many possible causes, Dr. Heather Faye performs a thorough examination to identify what is driving your symptoms before recommending any treatment.
Low back pain often begins when the joints of the spine and pelvis lose their normal function. Poor posture, lifting, repetitive activities, prolonged sitting, or injury can contribute to joint dysfunction.
As joint function decreases, the surrounding muscles tighten to protect and stabilize the area, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced movement. Because low back pain has many possible causes, a thorough examination is essential to determine the correct diagnosis.
Common mechanical causes include disc bulges, facet joint inflammation, muscle strains, piriformis syndrome, and other disorders affecting the spine and surrounding tissues.
Treatment focuses on restoring normal joint function so the muscles can relax naturally. Therapies such as laser therapy, soft tissue therapy, and shockwave therapy may also be used to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and promote healing. Stretching, strengthening, postural correction, and exercise help restore function and reduce recurrence.
