Back Pain​

Back pain be it lower or upper back, can and will cause immense stress. Studies indicate that lower back pain is the number 1 cause of disability in people under the age of 45. This creates problems with living your life, such as going to work, playing a sport you love and being useful for your family.

The Spine Doctors at Divine Spine, say that the lumbar spine is located between the thoracic spine and the sacrum. There is 5 vertebra (L1 to L5) stacked vertically connected by ligaments with an intervertebral disc between them.  A healthy disc is like a cushion and acts as a shock absorber for the spine allowing for flexibility. There are also layers of muscles that support and provide movement to the low back. Every aspect of your spine has to be reviewed with an X-ray in order for a proper assessment to be made.
