Back pain can originate from various sources, including:
- Disc herniation, bulging, or degeneration
- Spinal misalignments or vertebral subluxations
- Facet joint irritation
- Muscle strain, spasms, or soft tissue injury
- Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
- Spinal stenosis or nerve compression
- Poor posture, prolonged sitting, or ergonomic stress
- Traumatic injury or repetitive stress
Because back pain often has multiple contributing factors, effective care targets structure, soft tissue, movement patterns, and lifestyle.
Common Symptoms of Back Pain
Patients with back pain frequently report:
- Dull ache, sharp pain, or discomfort in the lower, mid, or upper back
- Pain that worsens with movement, bending, lifting, or twisting
- Stiffness and limited flexibility
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Pain radiating down legs (sciatica) or tingling/numbness
- Difficulty sitting, standing, or walking for extended periods
- Flare-ups triggered by activity changes or poor posture
How MG Chiropractic Treats Back Pain
Our approach blends multiple techniques to deliver safe, effective back pain relief:
We perform a detailed assessment of spinal alignment, movement patterns, posture, and neuromuscular balance to uncover the root causes of your pain.
Using both manual and instrument-assisted techniques, we restore proper alignment and mobility to spinal joints and supporting structures.
We use gentle therapies to reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and ease pain in damaged or stressed areas.
Personalized exercise programs strengthen core and stabilizing muscles, improve flexibility, and retrain movement patterns that help reduce back stress.
We offer guidance on posture, workstation setup, lifting mechanics, and activity modifications to prevent recurrence.
Treatment frequency and techniques evolve as you improve, with continual reassessment to ensure optimal outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can chiropractic care help back pain?
Yes. When properly applied, chiropractic adjustments help relieve joint pressure, restore alignment, and reduce irritation of spinal structures and nerves.
Is it safe to adjust my spine if I have back pain?
Yes, if performed by a licensed professional using techniques suited to your condition. We adapt force and method to match your spinal health and tolerance.
How many visits will I need?
That depends on your condition’s complexity, duration, and response. You may feel relief within a few sessions, but optimal improvement typically requires a short‑term care plan.
Will chiropractic care make my pain worse at first?
You might experience mild soreness or stiffness initially, which is normal. It typically subsides as your body adapts and begins to heal.
Can this replace physical therapy or medical treatment?
Chiropractic care can complement or even enhance medical or rehabilitative care. We often coordinate referrals or co‑management when needed.
