Low Back Pain

When it comes to back pain, lower back aches are one of the most common complaints I hear; It can effect your day by making it difficult to work, take care of family, or even get the rest you need.  Luckily, there are ways to relieve, to reduce, and to take control of the pain yourself without having to resort to medication. While (obviously) I think it’s worth seeing a chiropractor for low back pain, here are some strategies you can employ yourself!

Sciatica

Sciatica or sciatic nerve pain is when something puts pressure on the sciatic nerve, and causes it to pinch, causing pain or even numbness and tingling. This can happen quickly and sometimes without a known event being the cause.

It can be scary if you’ve never felt anything like it before but rest assured it is both common and treatable!

Migraines

Migraines can present in many different ways; so many, that it can sometimes be hard to know if what you are feeling is a migraine at all. They may present as intense pain behind your eyes, or pain in your temples, or you can even see spots in your vision; it’s not uncommon for them to cause nausea and vomiting. Regardless of how they present, they’re never fun and can be hard to get rid of once they start. There are a few things you can try at home when you feel a migraine coming on, but everyone’s migraines are different, and it can be hard to know what will work for you.
