Acute back pain is short-term and generally lasts from anywhere between a few days and a few weeks. It is often caused by trauma to the area as a result of an accident or physical stress. Chronic back pain lasts longer than three months.

How Chiropractic Can Help:

First, we need to determine if what you’re suffering from is a chiropractic case. Is your condition something we can help you with or not? We will analyze the spine by exam and X-ray to look for bones out of normal position which may be causing pressure on the nerves (also known as subluxation). When subluxations get bad enough, you will experience pain. Our job is to detect and correct the subluxations by adjusting the spine to relieve the pressure on the nerve.
