Severe Low back pain from 5 days ago. I had chronic low back symptom after child birth...

  Low back symptom started after delivering a baby 4 yrs ago.  I felt severe low back pain when I woke up in the morning 5 days ago.  Pain was there ether when I was sitting, standing, walking.  Although I've gone to Orthopedist or other clinics, I didn't feel a big difference.  Even though it was quite far distance to Yokohama, but I decided to come to Ligare.

  　
~Current situation~

• Severe pain in Low back area
• Due to the pain, range of motion is about 15 degrees in flexion, extention, and side vending.
• Sever pain with leg raise test on right side.
• By giving pressure on the stomach, the pain decreased with leg raise test.

~Course of treatment~

• Low back pain(LBP) caused by the muscle spasm around hip, therefore those muscle was the target of treatment.
• At the 1st visit, adjustment of the pelvic position was done by patients own weight with using pelvic block.  By treating the muscle with spasm, and approaching to increase the hip joint range of motion(ROM), patient become able to walk smoothly with much less pain.
• 2nd treatment was 4 days after the 1st visit.  The　chief complain got much better and hip joint ROM became increased.  The muscle tone of back was still high.  The muscle around scapula got higher tone, therefore treated to mobilize the scapula and the muscle around it.
• 3rd treatment was 1week after the 2nd visit.  LBP became much relieved. 

~Comment from chiropractor: Dr. Obata~

• The reason of LBP was spasm of muscle in low back area caused by overuse.  By adjusting the pelvis, and by approaching to mobilize hip joint, the LBP was much relieved.
• Although this patient had come all the way to Yokohama, taking 2hrs for one way,  it was nice relieving pain in just 3 visits.
