Chiropractor for Back Pain

chiropractic care for back pain testimonial

PICTURED — This dedicated football coach came to us with severe lower back and hip pain, constant upper back and neck tension, tinnitus, and ongoing sleep issues. He felt tight and stiff all the time, unable to fully relax, sleep comfortably, or even sit without discomfort. Driving after games and spending long hours coaching on the field had become increasingly difficult.

Just a few months later, he is now pain-free, free from stiffness and tightness, able to drive long distances with ease, coach full games without discomfort, and enjoy restful, comfortable sleep again.

How does a chiropractor help with back pain?

Chiropractic care for back pain focuses on spinal adjustments to improve movement, alignment, and overall function. Dr. Alae will often recommend therapeutic exercises such as stretching and core strengthening, along with guidance on posture and daily habits to address the underlying cause of pain—not just the symptoms.

Chiropractors use a variety of techniques, from traditional manual adjustments to gentler approaches like mobilization or drop-table methods, all designed to reduce pressure, ease inflammation, restore mobility, and effectively manage both acute and chronic low back pain.

What causes lower back pain?

There are many reasons patients experience back pain, but some of the most common include:

  • Spinal misalignments (subluxations) - creating pressure and irritation on nerves.
  • Disc problems - bulging or herniated discs that press on spinal nerves. Learn more about chiropractic care for bulging disc
  • Poor posture - prolonged sitting, standing, or lifting with improper form.
  • Muscle imbalances or weakness - leading to instability in the spine.
  • Sciatica - irritation of the sciatic nerve, often caused by spinal misalignment, disc issues, or muscle tension in the low back and pelvis.
