Chiropractic for Back Pain

Chiropractic care is a gentle, non-invasive, and non-drug solution for back pain. On your first visit, our Boca Raton chiropractors will take x-rays of your spine and other areas where you experience pain, and will design a custom routine to manipulate the spine and relieve pressure from the compressed nerves that send pain signals to the brain. According to a Consumer Reports study, chiropractic for back pain can be more effective than medications, massage, yoga, pilates, and over the counter drugs.

Our chiropractors in Boca Raton have substantial experience using chiropractic care as a pain management technique for a variety of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines and shoulder pain. Our goal with every patient is to naturally manage their pain and reduce or eliminate the need for medication and surgery. Many of our patients benefit from regular chiropractic adjustments, which maintain proper spinal alignment. From nerve compression to muscle soreness, a misaligned spine can wreak havoc on the body, and our job is to prevent this from happening.

Treating Chronic Back Pain

Over 20 percent of Americans (50.2 million) reportedly suffer from chronic back pain. Many factors can contribute to back pain, including physical inactivity, sitting or standing for long periods of time at work, poor sleep, smoking, stress, or unmanaged depression and anxiety. While more common in older age groups and in women, chronic back pain can affect anyone.

Often, back pain can be traced to a specific accident or trauma. One of the most common causes are whiplash injuries, which can lead to back pain by causing a misalignment in the cervical spine. This misalignment places pressure one nearby nerves and muscles; triggering pain, soreness, and stiffness. As long as this misalignment exists, auto injury victims will continue to experience back pain, and even neck pain and migraines. Chiropractic adjustments are a drug-free, non-invasive treatment that will bring proper alignment back to the spine. Restoring proper alignment alleviates pressure on the nerves, so individuals no longer suffer from chronic pain.

If you are one of the 3 million Americans who experience whiplash injuries from auto accidents each year, a specialized care solution that includes chiropractic treatment may be recommended by your primary care physician or care team, or you may choose to adopt it as your primary course of treatment. 

If your back pain is related to an obstetrics and gynecological concern, neurological issues, dental problem (TMJ), or a rheumatological or podiatric concern — we will work with your other doctors to help create an integrative approach to your back pain management.
