Relief from Lumbar Stenosis with our Birmingham Chiropractor

Dr. Scott Duca uses a natural approach to alleviate pain from lumbar stenosis. If you are struggling with back pain and living in the Birmingham, AL area, we invite you to Back on Track Chiropractic and Wellness Center to learn about our holistic relief methods. Lumbar stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back. This narrowing places pressure on the nerves which can cause pain and limit your back bending and twisting abilities. While posture and nutrition adjustments for lumbar stenosis will not remove the condition, our treatments ease your discomfort and help you live symptom-free.

Posture and Nutrition Adjustments for Lumbar Stenosis in Birmingham

We cannot stress enough the importance of a healthy posture. This does not mean you sit up straight when you think about it. Instead, using a healthy posture means that you learn to maintain a proper spine alignment in every activity. Whether you are sitting, standing, sleeping, exercising or walking, Dr. Duca shows you how to keep your spine aligned. As a result, these in-the-moment posture adjustments decrease your pain by reducing the pressure on the lumbar nerves. Instead of the narrowing of the spinal column feeling more pressure from gravity and the vertebrae above it, you are able to limit the pressure and lessen your pain. When you focus on good posture and also receive chiropractic adjustments to set your spine, your lumbar stenosis symptoms decrease.

In combination with posture adjustments, Dr. Duca uses changes in your dietary habits to further reduce your lumbar stenosis symptoms. To answer your unspoken question, yes, what you eat does affect the health of your spine. For example, when you eat an anti-inflammatory diet, you reduce inflammation and swelling in your lower back. This decreases the pressure on the lumbar nerves. Also, when you remain hydrated, you are also enhancing the cushioning effects of the discs to absorb the pressure and reduce pain caused by friction between the vertebrae. A healthy diet also stays within your calorie limits to maintain a realistic weight that does not strain your lower back. Our posture and nutrition adjustments are two positive and natural ways in which you take control over your lumbar stenosis. Let us show you how to manage your pain and help you return to your favorite physical activities.
