Lower Back & Lumbar Spine Conditions We Treat
The lumbar spine carries more load than any other part of your back. It is also where we do some of our most rewarding work.
Lower back pain is the most common reason patients come to The Spine Works, and no two cases are the same. A disc problem, a joint problem, and a nerve problem can all hurt in the same spot while needing very different care.
That is why every lumbar case starts with an exam and on-site X-rays. Once Dr. Farmer knows exactly which structure is generating your pain, your plan may include specific adjustments, corrective exercise, and computer-controlled spinal decompression for disc and nerve-compression cases.
The goal is not just relief today. CBP corrective care works on the alignment and movement patterns that let the problem develop, so results are built to last.
Key Benefits

Lower Back Conditions We Help With
From everyday strain to disc herniations, these are the lumbar conditions we treat most, several with full guides linked below.
Lower Back Pain
Whether it started with a lift, a long drive, or no clear cause at all, we find the structure behind your pain before treating it.
Learn More →Sciatica
Pain shooting down the leg means the sciatic nerve is being irritated, most often at the spine. Decompression and adjustments target the source.
Learn More →Herniated or Bulging Lumbar Disc
A damaged disc pressing on a nerve responds well to decompression, which gently creates space so the disc can retract and heal.
Learn More →Degenerative Disc Disease
Worn, dehydrated discs lose height and cushion. Relieving compression gives them room to rehydrate and can ease chronic stiffness.
Pinched Nerve
Sharp, radiating, or electric pain often points to a compressed lumbar nerve. X-rays help us locate the level and choose the right care.
Spinal Stenosis
When the spinal canal narrows, standing and walking can become painful. Decompression is designed to open space and reduce nerve pressure.
SI Joint Dysfunction
The sacroiliac joints where your spine meets your pelvis can lock or become inflamed, mimicking lower back pain. Specific adjustments restore motion.
Scoliosis
Spinal curvature changes how load is distributed and can drive pain in adults. CBP corrective methods focus on alignment and function.
Arthritis
Arthritic lumbar joints reward gentle, consistent care. Keeping segments moving may reduce stiffness and help you stay active.
Lower Back FAQ
Disc pain often worsens with sitting or bending and may send symptoms into a leg. The honest answer is that an exam and X-rays are how we know, which is why every case at The Spine Works starts there.
Decompression uses a computer-controlled table to gently stretch the spine, creating negative pressure that encourages injured discs to retract and heal. Dr. Farmer recommends it only when your diagnosis calls for it.
Many patients with disc and nerve problems improve with conservative care and never need surgery. We cannot promise outcomes, but exhausting conservative options first is a reasonable path for most cases, and we will tell you if yours is different.
