Chiropractic Treatment for Lower Back Pain

Chiropractic care is an effective method of treating lower back pain. When you see a chiropractor for lower back pain, we will first perform a comprehensive examination to diagnose the condition. We also request your medical history. Our chiropractor may also request imaging tests such as x-rays and CT scans to evaluate you further and make a precise diagnosis.

Treatment depends on your condition and its severity. The techniques used are non-invasive and safe. Our chiropractor may work with another health provider, such as a neurologist since lower back pain can have a connection with the neurological system. The chiropractic treatment plan is usually divided into several sessions, depending on your condition. You might find relief in the first sessions, but you need to go for all of the recommended ones to heal fully.
