Relieve your lower back pain without prescription medications
Those with back pain may be suffering from numerous conditions such as back sprain injuries, spinal stenosis, sacroiliac sprain, lumbar intervertebral disc injuries, and facet joint sprains.
Experts estimate that as many as 80% of the population will experience back pain or a back problem at some time in our lives.
Chiropractic care for back pain is safe and effective. Along with reducing pain without taking medication, it helps to advance physical therapy and requires less passive forms of treatment.
What you need to know
As a part of your chiropractor-suggested treatment plan, they may use spinal manipulation therapy instruments, and therapeutic exercises to reduce your back pain.
Before a chiropractor treats you, they will perform a thorough exam to determine and diagnose the specific cause of your pain.
Once they diagnose the specific disorder causing your pain, they will create a customized care plan with your treatment that will lead patients on the path to being pain-free.
