Dr. Brenda Yee is welcoming her third child this July 2024 and will be beginning her maternity leave July 1, 2024. As of current, there has been no success finding a chiropractic locum to cover Dr. Yee's leave. If no coverage is found, Dr. Yee will plan to return ONE day per week beginning early to mid November 2024. Come on in before June 30, 2024 to see her before she heads off! :)

Katrina Zantinge is moving to a new location beginning June 1, 2024. Her last day at Nurture Family Chiropractic will be May 31, 2024. We are sad to see her go but are also very excited for a new adventure for her. Thank you Katrina for your many years of excellent service and friendly interactions, you will be greatly missed!

Most Common Cause of Low Back Pain

10/24/2022

We'll cut right to the chase. The most common cause of low back pain is from tight or weak muscles in your low back. Our low back makes up a significant portion of our torso and is pretty well the center (aka middle) of our body, attaching our upper half to our lower half. This makes our low back a crucial area in our body for transmitting forces from our arms to our legs and vice versa. If you've experienced low back pain before, you may have noticed pain in your low back while walking or running as a result of this transmission of forces. In fact, almost ANY movement you do transmits forces through your low back. This is why most movements are painful or uncomfortable when you experience low back pain. From getting up from a chair, to getting out of bed or getting into your car, to lifting every day items. All of these movements require coordination between your upper body and your lower body to be successfully completed, transmitting forces through your low back. 

Since so many forces pass through your low back on a daily, it makes sense that there would a lot of muscles in your low back. And you'd be correct, there are a LOT of muscles in your low back, both big and small. These muscles may get tired from daily activities and result in pain for you or you may have a sudden, obvious injury that results in low back pain. Regardless of the mechanism of injury, one very important part of healing and recovering from ANY type of low back pain is core strengthening. Your core is collectively made up of your abs, your obliques and your low back muscles. When your core is strong and functioning well, it acts as a stabilizing belt for your low back similar to the belts you see professional weight lifters using when lifting extreme weights. For a stabilizing belt to work properly, the muscle coordination between your abs, obliques and low back muscles must fire at the same time otherwise you get a tight part here and a loose part there. A stabilizing belt that is both tight and loose at the same time doesn't do much stabilizing at all. And of the three parts of your core, the low back muscles will often fire the hardest and that results in tightness, fatigue or injury in those muscles. And that results in you having low back pain.

Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you at the clinic still and soon!

What Our PATIENTS Are Saying ON GOOGLE

I was fortunate enough to have been under the care of Dr. Yee for my back pain. Her treatment has provided significant improvement in my back. Since my first visit, the improvement has been impressive and I will definitely be returning to her clinic again for another treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Yee for her clinical skills and her professionalism.

Dr. Yee is a fantastic chiropractor! She has really helped me with my back pain. Great health teaching when I'm at her clinic. Being a healthcare provider myself, I love that she uses evidence based practice in everything she does. Would totally recommend her if you are having any acute/chronic pain. Very talented chiro!
-Tien L


Brenda is an amazing Chiropractor - she goes above and beyond every appointment to make sure I'm feeling good. If somethings not working, she's open to trying something different to ensure we can address the issue. She is professional, knowledgeable and just so happens to be such a lovely and bubbly personality to chat with. She's been addressing a lot of back issues related to lots of desk work and I've definitely seen the improvements. I've recommended my partner to her, and he's also been enjoying and improving from her treatments!
