The top 10 most common spine symptoms, conditions, and causes I treat in my office are:  1. Sciatica/leg pain starts from the lower back & may radiate to the thigh, knee, leg, and foot 2. lower back pain-caused by misalignment, disc narrowing and nerve pressure may lead to sciatica 3. disc bulge or herniated disc-misalignments of the vertebrae may shift the disc, and overtime with trauma, physical work, sports may cause disc herniation 4. degenerative disc-restrictive motion, trauma,  wear & tear, poor posture, lack of nutrients 5. upper back pain-poor posture, loss of and or exaggerated curves, prolong postions 6. stiff neck/neck pain-stiffness indicates arthritis,  degenerative joints, restrictive motion, trauma 7. spinal stenosis-disc bulging or protrusion pressing on the spinal cord 8. pulled back muscles/lower back strain-repetitive lifting, poor lifting  techniques, and ergonomics  9. piriformis syndrome-sitting prolong periods, the hip muscle may irritate the sciatica 10. sacroiliac joint dysfunction-prolong sitting, and poor posture, and ergonomics irritates the hip joints.  Chiropractic treatments address these conditions due to misaligned vertebrae, sacrum, and hip joints.  By correcting these misalignments called subluxations, your pain will be relieved, prevent degeneration, improve posture, and keep you well adjusted.
