Low Back Pain

Low back pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek care, affecting up to 80% of adults at some point in their lives. While lumbar disc herniations and bulges are notable sources of pain, lower back discomfort frequently stems from a combination of mechanical factors: postural strain, lumbar facet joint restriction, pelvic misalignment, and soft-tissue imbalances in the core and gluteal musculature.

At SF Custom Chiropractic, we do not rely on a one-size-fits-all adjustment. We evaluate the full kinetic chain—assessing spinal biomechanics, hip mobility, and muscular activation patterns. Using a targeted combination of chiropractic adjustments, Active Release Technique (ART®), and active stabilization exercises, we relieve nerve and joint irritation while restoring long-term functional stability to the lumbar spine.
