Dr. Yvette Edwards explains low back pain as a spinal twist that jams nerves, especially those running down the leg. Medication and steroid shots only mask muscle spasm without fixing the nerve compression underneath. Gentle chiropractic adjustments realign the spine and relieve the pressure, avoiding drugs or surgery.
Good afternoon, everyone. This is Dr. Yvette Edwards. I'm back with you again, and today what I'd like to discuss is what happens when you need to go to work and you're trying to get out of bed but you can't. A lot of times what we're suffering from is low back pain, and what some of the options when we have low back pain is to start taking medications, Or getting a shot. I'm gonna tell you the shot is gonna last only for a while, and the medication is eventually gonna wear off. But I can tell you possibly it can be fixed. But let me tell you what's really happening typically. This is a model of a dry spine, and these are the nerves that are coming out of the side here, these pieces here. And what happens a lot of times that causes the low back pain is the— Nerves. There becomes a jamming in the spine, so the spine twists, and it jams and puts pressure on the nerve. And then that nerve, especially if it's one that goes down the leg, that nerve is gonna get jammed, and after a while it starts causing pain for you. We cannot unlock that jam with medication. If it's a twist in the spine, you cannot unlock it with medication. We can reduce the spasming maybe with some Flexeril, but— It doesn't take care of the problem. If you want to get rid of the problem, we need to get the pressure off the nerve where the problem is. So what we do is gently adjust the area and shift it back into place. When we do that and we get the body moving more freely back and forth, because our body, our spine specifically, is really freely movable, and it should be, but when there's a problem, especially like in the lower back, you're going to find that it's not moving as well as it should. Rather than sitting around with this problem, not being able to go to work, not being able to get out of the bed, not being able to enjoy your family and your kids, come on into the office. Let's see if it's something that we can resolve for you. We're gonna try to do it. We're gonna do a consultation, an exam, and any necessary x-rays to find out what the problem is. If we can find the problem, then we can fix it. And we're gonna fix it without drugs, we're gonna fix it without medication, and we're gonna fix it without surgery. Consider that as an option. Give us a call. Our telephone number here, it's 864-288-2136. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you get out of this pain and this condition that you're in.
