Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. Whether it comes on suddenly after lifting something heavy or builds slowly over time, it can interfere with daily activities and quality of life. At his chiropractic clinics in Lafayette and Millbrae, Dr. Andrew L. Stewart provides personalized, non-invasive treatments to help patients find relief and restore mobility.
Understanding Low Back Pain
Low back pain can feel different for everyone. Some people notice a dull, aching sensation, while others experience sharp, shooting pain that radiates down the leg. Common causes include:
- Muscle strain or ligament sprain
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Poor posture and spinal misalignment
- Degenerative changes like arthritis
- Nerve compression, including sciatica
Because every case is unique, effective treatment begins with identifying the root cause rather than masking the symptoms.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Dr. Stewart uses safe and precise chiropractic adjustments to correct spinal misalignments and relieve pressure on irritated nerves. By restoring balance to the spine, adjustments can reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and ease tension in surrounding muscles.
For many patients, chiropractic care provides lasting relief from:
- Persistent low back stiffness
- Pain that worsens with movement or sitting
- Radiating pain into the hips or legs
- Reduced flexibility and range of motion
A Personalized Approach to Healing
No two patients experience low back pain in the same way, which is why Dr. Stewart creates customized care plans. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, treatment may include lifestyle guidance, posture correction, and targeted exercises to strengthen the core and support long-term spinal health.
The goal isn’t just temporary relief — it’s helping patients return to an active lifestyle without constant discomfort.
