Back pain be it lower or upper back, can and will cause immense stress. Studies indicate that lower back pain is the number 1 cause of disability in people under the age of 45. This creates problems with living your life, such as going to work, playing a sport you love and being useful for your family.

The Spine Doctors at Divine Spine, say that the lumbar spine is located between the thoracic spine and the sacrum. There are 5 vertebra (L1 to L5) stacked vertically connected by ligaments with an intervertebral disc between them.  A healthy disc is like a cushion and acts likes a shock absorber for the spine allowing for flexibility. There are also layers of muscles that support and provide movement to the low back. Every aspect of your spine has to be reviewed with an X-ray in order for a proper assessment to be made.

Dr. Sawhney is knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about their patients’ progress. Instead of just masking the pain with medication, the treatment addressed the root cause of my problem. I highly recommend Dr. Sawhney to anyone dealing with back pain or sciatica. The quality of life improvement has been life-changing!

So glad my friend recommended Divine Spine for my back pain! I spent 3 painful months in PT two years ago without a resolution. Just 6 treatments at Divine Spine and pain gone. That was two years of NO pain. Lifted something heavy 4 days ago and noticed some pain. One treatment today cured the pain again. Doctor and staff are extremely pleasant.

Common Causes of Lower Back Pain

Joint Dysfunction . This is commonly due to a lumbar subluxation. Which is when a joint in the lumbar spine is out of alignment or motion between the joint is restricted. This usually irritates the nerves and muscles and causes pain.

Muscular Problems. Most commonly from a muscle strain due to heavy lifting, trauma, improper bending or repetitive use.

Degenerated Discs . A subluxation for prolonged period of time can lead to dehydration of the disc. This will cause the disc to shrink in size and the body will send calcium to fill in the gaps. This process is commonly known as degenerative disc disease or osteoarthritis.

Lumbar Disc Herniation . A herniated disc may happen suddenly due to a traumatic injury or heavy lifting.

What to Expect on your First Appointment

On your first visit, you will receive a comprehensive exam and digital xrays followed by a doctor’s report. We do this to figure out the root cause of the problem and create a personalized treatment plan. Our goal is to go beyond relieving our patient’s headache symptoms, we strive to resolve the root cause of the problem and teach our patients the proper stretches and exercises to create lasting stability.

Can a chiropractor fix lower back pain without surgery?


Yes. Most lower back pain — including disc issues, muscle strain, and lumbar subluxations — can be treated non-surgically. At Divine Spine, we use digital X-ray to find the root cause and computerized, no-crack adjustments to correct it, often avoiding the need for surgery altogether.

What is the best treatment for lower back pain?


The right treatment depends on the cause. A proper diagnosis — starting with a digital X-ray, not just a physical exam — is the first step. Divine Spine’s approach uses precision computerized adjustments to correct the underlying misalignment or disc issue, rather than just masking symptoms with medication or heat/ice.

How many chiropractic visits does it take to fix lower back pain?


It varies by cause and severity, but many patients notice real relief within just a few visits. One patient testimonial on this page describes 6 treatments resolving pain that three months of physical therapy hadn’t touched — though a personalized treatment plan (built after your X-ray and exam) is the only way to know your specific timeline.
