This region of the spine encompasses the vertebrae in the spine known as Thoracic and Lumbar. There are many ailments that relate to problems in this area. Complaints and symptoms typically include pain, aching, tightness, or stiffness. The pain could be dull, sharp, or even burning.

Most problems in the mid to low back can be treated very effectively with the Ortman technique. It is very important to set up an appointment sooner rather than later, so your condition doesn't worsen or become more of a larger concern.

Your doctor will ask the necessary questions to determine the nature of your pain, provide you with a diagnosis, and treat you on your first visit.

The majority of complaints are strained muscles that can be helped with just a few visits. Occasionally, more tests are required, such as an x-ray, to determine if a more serious problem exists, such as a herniation or bulging disc. Herniated or bulging discs generally require more long-term care, but are still often times effectively treated with the Ortman technique.

In the majority of situations, patients can avoid drugs and surgery altogether and return to their normal lifestyle quickly. Call for an appointment today, as chiropractic continues to be a safe, natural, and highly effective treatment for mid to low back problems.
