Back Pain & Sciatica

From acute to chronic, back pain is a cornerstone of chiropractic treatment. With most back pain symptoms arising from non-complicated mechanical sources, chiropractic care can be an effective first step toward pain relief, establishing a management system, or making an appropriate referral.

Back pain can have various causes, including postural strain, repetitive overuse injuries, and physiological changes to the spine. Chiropractic care can effectively treat many of these issues.

Sciatica is often associated with pain in the hip, buttock, or upper thigh. While this broad definition isn’t incorrect, sciatica typically includes additional symptoms like severe pain, radiation of pain, and neurological issues in the lower extremity. Regardless of your specific symptoms, chiropractic care is an excellent first option for treating sciatica. From elderly patients to those who are pregnant, we have the tools to address sciatic pain.

Initial Consultation

Our initial consultation focuses on ruling out major causes and evaluating whether chiropractic care is appropriate. If severe conditions are ruled out, chiropractic care can effectively treat and manage pain. If other causes are suspected, we will provide the necessary referrals to expedite appropriate treatment.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Personalized care is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, leading to faster patient recovery. Whether through chiropractic methods or referrals to other providers, our goal is to ensure you receive the correct treatment for a speedy resolution.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic treatments help alleviate back pain and sciatica by restoring joint range of motion. This improvement in motion has a therapeutic effect on surrounding muscles and soft tissues, releasing tension and stiffness. Regular chiropractic care can help prevent the buildup of symptoms caused by daily activities and physical stress.

Therapeutic Exercises

We offer customized exercise programs to strengthen muscles and improve mobility through disc conditioning, range of motion maintenance, muscular engagement, and postural rehabilitation. We work directly with patients to manage these strengthening protocols or refer them to physical therapists or personal trainers for more in-depth support.

Our soft tissue therapies, including pin and stretch techniques and instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation, complement chiropractic adjustments. These therapies allow us to treat both the joints and soft tissues of symptomatic regions for a more comprehensive and effective treatment. Soft tissue therapies are optional and can be tailored to the patient’s response and symptoms. We can also refer patients for massage therapies and provide prescriptions required by some insurances.
