Back pain is one of the most common complaints treated by Chiropractors. First we determine the cause of the problem. This usually involves a thorough examination with complete history, physical, and neurological examination with possible imaging studies needed to make a precise diagnosis.
Once a cause is established, a variety of therapies may be implemented. For back pain that is a result of misalignment of the spine, herniated or bulged disc, or muscular dysfunction, Chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, acupuncture, and specific exercises are often prescribed.
Chiropractic care emphasizes healing your back pain naturally. But, sometimes back pain occurs due to another underlying condition that needs to be co-managed with your medical physician.
If you are experiencing back pain, stiffness, numbness, shooting pain, or any low back discomfort, consult Dr. Sturdevant for an evaluation.
