Low back pain is the most common musculoskeletal complaint in the world. It can stem from muscle strain, disc problems, joint dysfunction, nerve compression, or trauma from an accident. Effective treatment depends on identifying the actual pain generator — not just chasing symptoms. Our team combines a careful clinical exam with a multi-disciplinary toolkit so you get the right care, not just any care.
Also known as: Lumbago, Lumbar pain, Lower back pain

How we treat low back pain
We combine multiple disciplines under one roof so you get the right care for your case — not just whatever one provider happens to offer.
Chiropractic care
Adjustments and soft-tissue work to restore lumbar mechanics and relieve pain.
Learn more →Spinal decompression
When discs are involved, decompression unloads the spine and supports disc healing.
Learn more →Physical therapy
Core strengthening, hip mobility, and movement re-education to prevent recurrence.
Learn more →Pain management
Targeted injections (facet, medial branch, SI joint) for joint-mediated low back pain.
Learn more →What to expect on your first visit
- Comprehensive low back exam — orthopedic, neurological, and movement testing
- Honest conversation about which structures are likely driving your pain

Frequently asked questions
When should I see someone for low back pain?
If pain lasts more than 3–5 days, radiates into your leg, or follows an injury, get evaluated. Seek immediate care for any loss of bowel/bladder control, severe leg weakness, or saddle numbness.
Do I need an MRI for low back pain?
Not usually right away. Most cases can be diagnosed clinically. We order imaging when there are red flags, when pain is not improving as expected, or when a procedure is being planned.
Will chiropractic care alone fix my low back pain?
Sometimes — for joint-driven pain, yes. For disc, nerve, or chronic cases, the best outcomes come from combining chiropractic with PT and (when needed) interventional pain procedures.
Ready to start treatment?
Same-day appointments available. We accept most major insurance, workers' comp, and personal injury liens.
Related conditions we treat
Other spine and musculoskeletal conditions commonly seen alongside low back pain.
Neck Pain
Neck pain can range from mild stiffness to debilitating cervical radiculopathy that radiates down the arm. The cervical spine is small, mobile, and packed with nerves, so even minor injuries can cause significant symptoms. Our integrated team treats the full spectrum — from posture-related strain to disc herniation and post-accident injuries.
Learn more →Headaches
Tension and cervicogenic headaches are among the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. They typically originate from cervical joint dysfunction, muscle tightness, and posture problems — not from inside the head itself. Identifying the cervical contribution is often the difference between repeated medication and real, lasting relief.
Learn more →Whiplash
Whiplash is a soft-tissue neck injury caused when the head is rapidly snapped backward and then forward — most commonly in rear-end auto accidents. The sudden force overstretches cervical muscles, ligaments, and facet joints, and can also irritate or injure cervical discs. Symptoms often appear hours or days after the crash, which is why same-day documentation matters for both your recovery and any personal injury claim.
