Lower Back Pain Treatment in Portage
Affecting millions of Americans each, lower back pain is often due to modern lifestyle factors. We frequently see patients whose pain originates from sedentary positions—particularly prolonged sitting at desks or in vehicles.
Beyond the lumbar spine, we’ve found that many non-disc related issues stem from the sacroiliac joints. Located where your spine meets your pelvis, these joints can become irritated and affect the function of your lumbar spine. When joint mobility becomes restricted, inflammation follows, creating dull ache or sharp pain.
How Chiropractic Care Relieves Back Pain
Chiropractic adjustments address the root cause of lower back pain by restoring the proper range of motion to affected joints. When the vertebrae don’t move correctly, they create irritation, inflammation, and pain. Our adjustments realign these structures, allowing natural healing to begin.
We use a variety of effective techniques to address your specific condition:
- Diversified Technique – incorporating side posture lumbar adjusting
- Thompson Technique – using specialized drop tables for gentle treatment
- Cox Flexion Distraction – ideal for disc-related issues
- Activator Technique – offering a low-force alternative when needed
The goal of each approach? To decompress irritated nerves, reduce inflammation, and restore proper biomechanical function to your spine. Most healthy patients feel significant improvement within three to five visits, while those with other health conditions may require additional care.
Beyond the Adjustment: Comprehensive Care
In addition to the care you receive in our office, we provide personalized stretching regimens. These are designed specifically for lower back conditions to maintain flexibility and prevent recurrence. Cryotherapy (icing) is also recommended for reducing inflammation. However, we caution against extended heat application, which can sometimes aggravate back pain despite feeling good initially.
