The diaphragm and back pain. What’s the link?
Curious! Researching clinicians have been describing
how manipulation influences the diaphragm and its
capacity to affect and relieve
non-specific back pain. Soft Health and Healing Clinic integrates
this information into its Brooks chiropractic treatment
plan for relief of Brooks non-specific
low back pain.
NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Chronic non-specific low back pain is back pain that
has been bothersome for more than three
months and doesn’t seem to have a specific cause. Typical care is education and encouragement,
analgesic meds, and non-pharmacological therapies. Formal
medical care is not commonly needed yet
imaging, opioids and surgery are often overused. (1) Visceral
fascial limitations, restrictions of the deep fibrous connective tissues enclosing
muscles, bones, nerves, arteries and veins), may produce pain in the
lumbar spine. Caring for patients who experience
non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may be
relieving. (2) Soft Health and Healing Clinic sees Brooks low
back pain patients with this type of condition. Such
pain is often frustrating for patients, and
Soft Health and Healing Clinic can frequently help.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
An interesting approach
chiropractic’s collegial profession of osteopathy utilizes and shares
cases and explanations of its success in reducing non-specific
low back pain is treating the diaphragm, that dome-shaped
muscular structure that divides the thoracic (chest) and
abdominal sections of the body. The diaphragm originates
along the lumbar vertebrae of the spine and attaches to the
lower ribs. (3) It moves when we breathe. Stretching the diaphragm significantly
improves cervical spine extension, right and left cervical spine
flexion, flexibility of the posterior chain (the muscles of the back part
of the body) and ribcage excursion at the xiphoid level (the lower
tip of the chest’s sternum). (4) By means of manipulation and
treating the diaphragm created significant improvement
in pain and disability for patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. (5)
Treating the thoracic spine (mid-back) with mobilization accompanied by treatment of the low back specifically plus
breathing exercises for non-specific chronic low back pain improves respiration
and reduces disability for these patients. (6) Improvements
like this are most welcomed
by sufferers with Brooks non-specific low back pain.
