If you are experiencing low back pain, it might be coming from your Quadratus Lumborum (QL). This muscle controls bending side to side and standing upright from a bent forward position. Whether you are performing deadlifts or simply picking up something from the ground, the muscle can react, go into a spasm, and refer pain to other areas of the body. The picture shown above demonstrates one of the ways a person can stretch this muscle and it is important to do some type of warm up before any type of physical activity. Having the lumbar spine and pelvis (low back) adjusted can help prevent these types of injuries by returning the vertebrae into correct structural alignment which would in turn take pressure off of the surrounding muscles. Call us today (818) 646-6167 to schedule an appointment.
