Newport Beach Chiropractor: Low Back Pain & Overeating

Chronic low back pain is among the most common patient complaints not just in my office, but nationally. Chronic low back pain can be caused by a variety of reasons. 25 percent of Americans have had a back pain complaint within the past three months and this statistic has been this way for years.

The rate of spinal surgery, injections, medication and other invasive treatments for back pain has been on the rise now for the past few years.

One main reason and cause for lower back pain is obesity. This is more relevant in patients who have a smaller frame naturally (small boned). A small weight gain on a 'naturally thin' patient can cause compression of the lower spine and lower back pain. Chiropractic care would be an excellent source of help for you if you're suffering from lower back pain due to the fact that chiropractors will not only look into the root cause of your lower back pain, but they can help you lose weight, and get your optimal health back.
