Your spine and nervous system may be driving it — and there is often a structural reason why.
The Threefold Approach
How Chiropractic Care Relieves Low Back Pain
Most low back care manages the symptom. Specific chiropractic care restores balance to the structure of your spine and to the nervous system that controls every aspect of your body.
Subluxation & Nerve Flow
A misalignment of a vertebra interrupts normal nerve flow and alters proper spinal structure. Scrambled messages between brain and body cause joint, muscle, and organ dysfunction — correcting the misalignment restores the signal.
Discs, Joints & Nerves
Muscles, discs, facet joints, and nerves each contribute to low back pain in their own way. We identify which tissue is actually driving your pain instead of chasing the symptom around.
Comprehensive Consultation & Exam
A thorough review of your health history, a physical exam, nervous system scans, and postural screenings — so the plan is built on findings, not guesses.
Custom Therapeutic Exercise
A program built for your body strengthens the muscles that support the spine, improves flexibility and range of motion, and helps your adjustments hold longer.

Common Questions
Everything you might be wondering.
When Should I Be Worried About Lower Back Pain?
Low back discomfort is your body's warning system that something is amiss. Pain is usually the last thing to occur and the first thing to leave, so we want to deal with it as soon as it appears to avoid it becoming a chronic condition.
What Can I Do to Relieve My Lower Back Pain?
Chiropractic care, spinal adjustments, strengthening and stabilizing exercises, and spinal decompression are some of the best ways to reduce pain and correct the underlying problem to prevent relapse. The best thing to do is contact us so we can assess the source of your pain and provide more precise treatment options.
How Do I Know if My Back Pain Is Serious?
All pain deserves to be assessed by a provider. Warning signs include pain lasting more than a few days, difficulty standing or walking, difficulty urinating or passing stools, numbness, tingling or radiating pain in the legs, pain that worsens when you lie down, fever, nausea or vomiting, unanticipated weight loss, or a history of cancer.
What Causes Lower Back Pain?
Some of the most common causes include muscular strains or sprains, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, facet joint dysfunction, and degenerative disc disease, among many others. It is always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis.
How Should I Sleep With Lower Back Pain?
Use a supportive mattress. Sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees, or on your back with a pillow under your knees, to keep the spine neutral. Avoid sleeping on your stomach, and stretch your back and hips before bed to improve your sleep posture.
How Do I Tell if Lower Back Pain Is Muscle or Disc-Related?
Pain caused by muscle feels achy and sore and improves with movement, ice and heat, or massage. Pain caused by a disc feels sharp and stabbing and is made worse by movement. A thorough examination lets us determine the exact cause and design an effective plan.
Can a Chiropractor Help With Lower Back Pain?
Yes. We are experts in detecting and treating neuromuscular problems, particularly through spinal adjustment. Our natural, holistic approach to optimizing the nervous system allows the body to heal faster and function better.
