Symptoms of back pain can vary based on the cause and severity of the injury. Common issues include difficulty bending, twisting, lifting objects, and even sitting or lying down. The discomfort can range from a dull ache to intense, shooting pain, which may also cause tingling or numbness in other areas of the body, such as the arms, legs, or neck.
The cervical and lumbar regions of the spine (upper and lower back) are made up of vertebrae separated by discs that act as cushions. These discs allow the spine to bend and twist while absorbing shock. However, when a disc becomes misaligned, it can cause severe discomfort by putting pressure on the surrounding spinal nerves.
Our team employs a range of proven methods to address back pain, including chiropractic adjustments, ice and heat therapy, stretching exercises, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, shockwave therapy, and physical therapy to build strength. Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs, with flexibility to adapt based on their progress and response to care.
After a brief consultation to discuss your back pain, injury, and relevant accident history, we will conduct a thorough neurological and physical examination to assess the extent of the damage. X-ray and MRI imaging may be performed to aid in the accurate diagnosis. We will then provide a report of findings, explaining your injury and outlining both in-office and at-home treatment plans.
