BACK PAIN

About Back Pain

Millions of Canadians suffer from back pain or lower back pain every year and they respond well to Chiropractic Care.

Conservative Chiropractic care should be your first course of treatment to manage your back pain. Common causes of back pain include lumbar joint irritation, sprain and strains, lumbar disc disorders, and lumbar stenosis. Once Dr. Yap determines the diagnosis of your back pain or lower back pain, he will build a treatment plan that targets the direct and indirect causes of your lower back pain. Our Victoria Chiropractic office sees a large variety of people, working in many different industries, at different stages of physical activity, and at all stages of life. For this reason, Dr. Yap will never take a one-size-fits-all approach to your treatment. YOU DESERVE BETTER!

Most patients who come in for treatment with Dr. Nicholas Yap to reduce their pain and restore optimal functional movement struggle with one of the following:

  • Sharp, stabbing, shooting pain in the mid-back and/or lower back

  • Sciatica or sciatic like symptoms to the buttocks, thighs, knees, calves, or foot

  • Tingling and/or numbness in lower back, buttocks, thighs, calves, or feet

  • Radiating pain from the lower back to the buttocks or down to the feet

It is very beneficial to seek care from a Chiropractor when this pain starts. If left alone or untreated for an extended period, the body will find many other irregular methods to support or compensate for global movements, which can lead to tightness, soreness, or stiffness in the joints and muscles.

Don’t let this pain and discomfort hold you back from the activities you love doing! Dr. Yap will perform a thorough examination to determine the root cause of your pain and give you all the tools necessary to resolve your pain so that your body can perform optimally and even feel better than you ever thought possible.

If you are experiencing any of the above causes of back pain, Dr. Yap would love to help you find the root cause and get you back out into the world again!
