SYMPTOMS- Back pain & Sciatica

Misaligned vertebrae pinch nerves and cause back pain. Those who work in jobs that involve lifting and stooping (such as warehouse workers), as well as those with jobs that involve hours of sitting in one spot (such as office workers), are at risk for low-back pain.

Common Causes of Back Pain:

• Weak back and stomach muscles become stiff and inflexible, making everyday activities difficult.
• A sedentary lifestyle means that your body cannot respond when you need it to, and your back shoulders the burden if you need to suddenly lift or twist.
• Old or poorly designed office chairs do not support the back or promote good posture. Workstations should be ergonomically designed for maximum health and comfort.
• Obesity can cause back pain from added pressure on the spine.

Sciatica is leg pain that moves from the back down the hip and is caused by misaligned vertebrae or herniated discs pressing on the sciatic nerve, lumbar nerves, or sacral nerves.
