Lower Back and Neck Pain

Lower back and neck pain is one of the most common and debilitating conditions we treat. Pain persists for months or years and significantly impacts quality of life, work performance, and mental health.

Spinal pain often has a structural origin — misaligned vertebrae, compressed discs, or nerve irritation that creates a persistent pain cycle. Without addressing these root causes, pain management alone provides only temporary relief.

Our approach combines precise chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression therapy, and rehabilitative protocols to correct the underlying structural problems and break the chronic pain cycle for good.

Common Symptoms

Persistent aching or stiffness in the back or neck
Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting or standing
Reduced range of motion
Muscle spasms or tightness
Radiating pain into the arms or legs

Sciatica

Sciatica is not a medical diagnosis, but rather a symptom of an underlying problem in the lower back — such as a herniated disc or spinal stenosis — that is compressing or irritating the nerve roots. The clinical diagnosis is referred to as a "radiculopathy," meaning a disc has protruded from its normal position and is putting pressure on the radicular nerve or nerve root that forms part of the sciatic nerve.

Non-Surgical Spinal Disc Decompression offers relief to sciatica sufferers by gently reducing the pressure within spinal discs. The bones of the spine are slowly and systematically separated using the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression system. As the vertebrae separate, pressure is gradually reduced within the disc (intradiscal pressure) until a vacuum is formed.

This vacuum "sucks" the gelatinous, jelly-like center of the disc back into the disc, thereby reducing the disc bulge or herniation. Significant reduction removes pressure off the sciatic nerve roots and considerably reduces pain and disability. The vacuum also pulls much-needed oxygen and nutrients into injured and degenerated discs, allowing the healing process to begin.

Common Symptoms

Radiating pain from the lower back into the leg
Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
Weakness in the affected leg
Sharp, shooting pain with movement
Pain that worsens when sitting

Herniated and Bulging Discs

Strong and healthy discs are thick and flexible — like a wet sponge — allowing a wide range of bending and twisting motions. Unhealthy discs are stiff and hard like a dry sponge, and prone to bulging or herniation. Over time, gravity, spinal joint dysfunction, and accumulated trauma cause discs to compress, flatten, and degenerate.

This constant compression prevents much-needed oxygen and nutrients from entering the disc. The resulting malnourishment causes the once-tough outer layers of the disc to soften, making the disc susceptible to injury or disease. Disc damage can occur anywhere in the spine, but the discs of the neck (cervical spine) and lower back (lumbar spine) are the most commonly injured.

Non-Surgical Spinal Disc Decompression offers relief by gently reducing pressure within spinal discs using the DRX9000 system. As the vertebrae are separated, intradiscal pressure is reduced until a vacuum forms — drawing the gelatinous disc center back into place, reducing the bulge, relieving nerve pressure, and pulling oxygen and nutrients into the disc to support healing.

Common Symptoms

Sharp or burning pain at the site of herniation
Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling
Muscle weakness in the arms or legs
Pain that worsens with bending or lifting
Reduced reflexes in the affected area

Pinched Nerve

A pinched nerve occurs when a nerve is damaged or injured by direct pressure or compression and is unable to properly conduct its signal. There are many possible causes depending on the location of the nerve, and symptoms can occur near the site of impingement or radiate into the arms or legs.

A pinched nerve in the neck can cause neck pain or stiffness along with symptoms down the arm. A pinched nerve in the lower back causes back pain and stiffness with symptoms down the leg. When the pinched nerve comes from the spinal cord, coughing or sneezing may aggravate the pain. Problems related to pinched nerves may also be worse while sleeping.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression offers relief by gently separating the bones of the spine using the DRX9000 system. As the vertebrae are separated, pressure is slowly reduced within the facet joints. Decompressing these "jammed" spinal joints can significantly reduce pain and disability, while the separation creates a vacuum that pulls much-needed oxygen, nutrients, and fluids into the injured joint space to allow healing to begin.

Common Symptoms

Numbness or decreased sensation in the area supplied by the nerve
Sharp or burning pain that may radiate outward
Tingling or "pins and needles" sensations
Muscle weakness or twitching in the affected area
Frequent "falling asleep" of the foot or hand

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative Disc Disease is a steady process that occurs as we age. With the gradual change in water and protein content of the body's cartilage, this process is sometimes accelerated by heavy work demands such as repetitive bending and twisting, heavy lifting, or an accident or injury. Degenerative disc disease is not actually a disease — it refers to a condition in which pain is caused by a damaged disc.

Because both the discs and the facet joints are composed of cartilage, these areas are subject to wear and tear over time. This gradual deterioration of the discs between the vertebrae is referred to as degenerative disc disease. The average person with this condition is active, otherwise healthy, and in his or her 30s or 40s. A wide range of symptoms and severity is associated with the condition.

Spinal decompression therapy helps by creating negative intradiscal pressure, which promotes the influx of nutrients and fluids into the disc — supporting the disc's natural repair processes and slowing further degeneration.

Common Symptoms

Pain that is often worse when sitting (discs bear up to 3× more load seated than standing)
Pain that worsens with bending, lifting, or twisting
Feeling better with activity rather than prolonged sitting or standing
Periods of severe pain lasting days to months, ranging from nagging to disabling
Numbness and tingling in the extremities or radiating pain into the buttocks, thighs, arms, or hands

Accident Injuries

Spinal injuries from sports activities, auto accidents, or workplace incidents can cause immediate pain and long-term structural damage if not properly treated. Early intervention is critical to prevent chronic problems.

Whiplash from auto accidents, compression injuries from sports, and repetitive strain injuries can all cause disc damage, vertebral misalignment, and soft tissue injury. Without proper corrective care, these injuries often lead to chronic pain and dysfunction.

We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for spinal injuries, combining chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, and rehabilitative protocols to restore proper alignment, reduce inflammation, and support full recovery.

Common Symptoms

Acute pain following an injury
Neck pain and stiffness after whiplash
Radiating pain or neurological symptoms
Reduced range of motion
Muscle spasms and guarding
