Whether you're chasing your kids on the field, grinding through long shifts on your feet, or spending weekends working around the house, your body is your most valuable tool. At Franklin Township Chiropractic, we specialize in helping active individuals—from youth athletes to hard-working adults—overcome low back pain and stay moving strong.
If you're experiencing lower back discomfort, stiffness, or pain that slows you down, you're not alone. Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a chiropractor—and understanding the cause is key to getting real, lasting relief.
Common Causes of Low Back Pain in Active Lifestyles
1. Spinal Misalignments (Subluxations)
Whether you're an athlete making explosive movements or a hard working individual lifting on the job, your spine is constantly under stress. When vertebrae shift out of alignment, it can irritate nearby nerves, muscles, and joints—leading to pain and decreased performance.
At Franklin Township Chiropractic, we use specific chiropractic adjustments to correct these misalignments and restore normal motion—so you can move, train, and work without limitations.
2. Muscle Strains and Overuse Injuries
Low back strains often come from repetitive use, improper lifting, or sudden movements—something weekend warriors, athletes and anyone whom has done load after load of laundry know all too well. These small injuries can cause sharp pain or lingering soreness that affects your daily activities.
3. Poor Posture and Core Instability
From desk jobs to long drives to work, or vacation, posture plays a huge role in back health. A weak core or poor movement habits can lead to low back pain that creeps in slowly and stays for the long haul.
4. Disc Issues (Bulges & Herniations)
Heavy lifting, high-impact sports, or years of wear and tear can lead to disc injuries that press on spinal nerves, causing pain that may travel into the hips or legs (sciatica).
While we don’t perform surgery at our office, gentle chiropractic adjustments can reduce spinal pressure and support your body’s natural healing process!
5. Degeneration and Chronic Stress on the Body
By the time we hit our 40s and 50s, the wear-and-tear from sports, hard work, or even repetitive motions takes a toll on the spine. Degenerative disc disease and arthritis can cause chronic low back pain that makes it tough to keep doing what you love.
The good news? Chiropractic care isn’t just for pain relief—it’s about preserving function. Our approach helps you stay active, mobile, and confident in your movements, even as your body ages.
