Lower Back Problems
“How Lower Back Problems Can
Cause Other Problems”
Dr Brad Ivanchuk, owner of Life Chiropractic Centre in Burlington, Ontario a family chiropractic clinic discusses the health consequences of lower back pain.
Last time we learned about the posture quadrant #3 which is your lower back and pelvis.
The primary function of posture quadrant #3 is for stabilization and to keep you upright against the ever present force of gravity.
Many other posture distortion patterns of the spine also begin resulting from distortions in posture quadrant #3.
Complications of posture quadrant #3 reach far beyond the mere symptoms of a sore, stiff, achy back.

These patients will be less sturdy on their feet, have less overall postural control and increased postural sway or instability.
Another important thing that you need to know is that your spinal discs stop receiving a blood supply after 25 years of age.
Your spinal discs are a very important part of your spine.
In order to keep them healthy as you age, proper movement in posture quadrant #3 is critical for stimulation of the disc tissue.
And without proper movement, your spine will deteriorate faster accelerating postural aging.
