We treat back pain with hands on chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitative exercise, and adjunct treatments such as shockwave therapy, massage and acupuncture, all tailored to the cause of your pain and your goals.

What our back pain treatment includes

We assess the cause of your back pain, then combine precise spinal adjustments with soft tissue work, movement retraining and supportive therapies. That can include shockwave therapy for persistent soft tissue pain, therapeutic massage to reduce muscle tension, and acupuncture for pain modulation. For new patients, an initial chiropractic adjustment is available for only $35.

Our approach treats common causes such as muscle strain, joint irritation, disc related pain, and movement related patterns that perpetuate pain. We adapt treatment for low back pain, mid back discomfort, sciatica symptoms, and pain after acute injuries.

Benefits of our back pain program

Our process for diagnosing and treating back pain

  1. Intake and history. We start by understanding your pain, how it began, and what makes it better or worse. Medical history, activity demands, and prior imaging are reviewed when available.
  2. Physical evaluation. We examine posture, spinal motion, neurological signs, and movement patterns to identify the likely pain generators.
  3. Hands on care. Precise chiropractic adjustments and manual soft tissue techniques target joint and muscle dysfunction to restore mobility and reduce pain.
  4. Adjunct therapies. When appropriate, we add shockwave therapy, therapeutic massage, or acupuncture to address stubborn soft tissue problems and speed recovery.
  5. Rehabilitation plan. You receive simple, progressive exercises and ergonomic guidance to retrain movement, support the spine, and lower reinjury risk.
  6. Follow up and progression. We monitor your response, adjust the plan, and move you toward independence and activity specific goals.

Pro tip: Short, frequent movement is often more helpful than long static stretches. We teach easy exercises you can do at home or at work to reduce stiffness and prevent flare ups.

What good work looks like

Good work reduces pain, improves movement, and gives you tools to manage future episodes. Early signs of progress include improved standing tolerance, easier bending and lifting, fewer pain flare ups during daily activities, and better sleep. Objective markers we track include range of motion, pain scale, and ability to perform key functional tasks relevant to your job or sport.

Common problems we solve

We address many back related issues, including:

  • Acute low back strain after lifting or sudden movement
  • Sciatica and nerve related leg pain from disc or joint irritation
  • Chronic low back stiffness from sedentary work or poor movement patterns
  • Mid back pain linked to poor posture, travel, or repetitive reaching
  • Persistent soft tissue pain that responds to shockwave therapy or massage

Frequently asked questions

How soon can I expect relief from back pain?

Many patients feel measurable relief within one to a few visits, especially for mechanical back pain caused by joint or muscle dysfunction. Persistent or complex conditions may require a progressive plan over several weeks to restore function.

Is chiropractic care safe for low back pain?

Chiropractic care is widely used for low back pain. We perform a focused exam to ensure hands on care is appropriate for your condition. If we identify any red flags, we refer for further medical evaluation or imaging.

Do you use shockwave therapy for back pain?

Yes, shockwave therapy is an adjunct we use for stubborn soft tissue issues such as chronic muscle tightness, tendon discomfort, or scar related pain. It is used along with manual care and rehabilitation, not as a standalone fix.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Bring a summary of recent imaging if you have it, and wear comfortable clothes that allow movement. Be ready to describe how the pain began, what makes it better or worse, and what activities matter most to you.

How do you work with other healthcare providers?

We communicate with primary care providers, physical therapists, or specialists when coordination benefits your care. Our goal is to integrate care around safe, evidence informed options.
