What Is Causing Your Back Pain?

This is a difficult question to answer without an examination. Many things can cause back pain, including muscle strains, herniated discs, and degenerative disc disease. An experienced chiropractor can take a look at your symptoms and develop a diagnosis that leads to a customized treatment plan.

How Long Will Treatment Take?

This also depends on the underlying cause of your back pain. In general, acute back pain (pain that has developed over a few days or weeks) will respond well to chiropractic treatment and may only require a few visits. However, chronic back pain (pain that has been present for months or years) may take longer to treat.

What Can You Expect During Treatment?

Chiropractic treatment for back pain typically involves a combination of manual therapies (such as manipulation and mobilization) and rehabilitative exercises. These treatments are designed to reduce pain and improve function. We also offer acupuncture, myofascial release, therapeutic massage, and trigger point therapy.

What Are the Risks of Treatment?

Chiropractic treatment is generally safe. However, as with any type of treatment, there are some risks. These risks include temporary soreness, muscle stiffness, and headache. If you have any concerns, you should talk to our chiropractor.

What Is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

Chiropractic care often includes adjustments to the spine. Chiropractic adjustments are a manual therapy used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. The goal of an adjustment is to increase function and reduce pain. During treatment, our chiropractor will use his hands to apply pressure to the joints. This may result in a popping sound but do not worry, it is not painful.

What Are the Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment?

Chiropractic care has been shown to be effective in treating back pain. You can get a soothing and gentle treatment session. You can also get pain relief and improve your range of motion.
