Understanding Back Pain
Because “back pain” covers so many scenarios, we start each visit with a detailed evaluation. Common causes we see include:
- Muscle strains and ligament sprains from lifting or awkward movement
- Disc irritation, degenerative changes, and spinal arthritis
- Pelvic or hip imbalances that overload the lower back
- Sciatica and nerve irritation creating shooting leg pain
- Postural stress from long commutes, desk work, or device use
- Pregnancy and postpartum changes that alter spinal mechanics
- Repetitive sports or occupational demands
Every new patient exam includes orthopedic and neurological tests, a posture assessment, and a thorough health history. If imaging is warranted, we coordinate referrals and review findings with you.
Phased Care that Matches Your Goals
- Relief Phase – We calm pain quickly with chiropractic adjustments, trigger point therapy, ice/heat therapy, electrotherapy, or therapeutic ultrasound.
- Corrective Phase – As symptoms settle, we add stretching, strengthening, and functional drills to stabilize your spine and correct compensations.
- Wellness Phase – Periodic tune-ups, ergonomic coaching, and massage therapy help prevent flare-ups and keep you moving freely.
