Low Back Pain

Accounting for nearly 40% of all primary low back pain, the facet joints of the lower back and sacroiliac joints of the pelvis ("hips") contain pain-sensing nerves that "fire" creating low back pain. These nerves often are affected by abnormal or loss of motion of spinal joints.  Sometimes there is a need for pinched nerve treatment (sciatica treatment), herniated disk treatment or bulging disc treatment for back pain relief.

James Thatcher, a chiropractor in Colorado Springs, restores normal and full motion to the spinal joints. This simple and successful approach often provides lower back pain relief, corrects the underlying mechanical problem and posture correction.  Here at Thatcher Chiropractic, PC, we also provide the patient with specific exercises and stretches to help with recovery and prevent future low back problems.
