The diaphragm and back pain. What is the link?
Interesting! Researching clinicians have been describing
how manipulation affects the diaphragm and its
capacity to have some bearing on and improve
non-specific back pain. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC includes
this knowledge into its La Grande chiropractic treatment
plan for relief of La Grande non-specific
low back pain.
NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Chronic non-specific low back pain is back pain that
has been annoying for more than 3
months and doesn’t seem to have a specific cause. Usual care is education and encouragement,
analgesic medications, and non-pharmacological therapies. Formal
medical care is not usually required however
imaging, opioids and surgery continued to be overused. (1) Visceral
fascial limitations, restrictions of the deep fibrous connective tissues enclosing
muscles, bones, nerves, arteries and veins), may cause pain in the
lumbar spine. Treating patients who have
non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may help. (2) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC welcomes La Grande low
back pain patients with this type of condition. Such
pain is often annoying for patients, and
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC can often help.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
An effective method
chiropractic’s collegial profession of osteopathy utilizes and shares
cases and explanations of its success in relieving 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 starts
along the lumbar vertebrae of the spine and connects to the
lower ribs. (3) It moves when we breathe. Stretching the diaphragm significantly
enhances cervical spine extension, right and left cervical spine
flexion, flexibility of the posterior chain (the muscles of the backside
of the body) and ribcage excursion at the xiphoid level (the lower
tip of the chest’s sternum). (4) Via manipulation and
treating the diaphragm created significant reduction
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 and
breathing exercises for non-specific chronic low back pain improves respiration
and reduces disability for these patients. (6) Such improvements are very welcomed
by sufferers with La Grande non-specific low back pain.
