A 2016 study found that women are more at risk of chronic low back pain than men. This is why it’s not surprising why more female patients seek a NUCCA chiropractor in Redwood City for low back pain relief. But, what exactly makes women more vulnerable? Studies enumerate at least three factors: female hormone fluctuation, heightened sensitivity to pain, and post-partum back problems. Let’s take a closer look at them below.

Back pain can cause serious problems, especially when you lead a busy life. Do you happen to have any of the risk factors we listed above? If yes, it might help to manage them as early as possible. Furthermore, we suggest working on postural problems that may eventually aggravate or trigger low back pain. You can do that by working with our NUCCA chiropractor in Redwood City.
NUCCA chiropractic adjustments can help you get rid of back pain-causing problems like nerve pinching and over sensitization of the nervous system. It only takes a few hours to figure out how far your neck bones have shifted and how long you might need to receive spinal corrections.
