Back Pain

What Is Back Pain?

Back pain can feel like a dull ache, a sharp stabbing pain or a pain that travels into the hip or leg. Doctors call it acute when it clears up within a few weeks and chronic when it lasts three months or longer. Chronic back pain affects more than the body. It can disrupt sleep, work and mood, so early treatment matters.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Most back pain comes from a problem in the muscles, joints, discs or nerves of the spine. Common causes include:

Less often, back pain is a sign of infection or another medical condition. If your exam suggests a problem outside chiropractic care, Dr. Weinberg refers you to the right specialist.

When Should You See a Chiropractor for Back Pain?

Book an exam if your back pain lasts more than a few days, keeps coming back, or limits work, sleep or exercise. Also come in if pain spreads into your buttock or leg, or if you feel numbness or tingling. Seek emergency care for back pain with loss of bladder or bowel control, fever or severe weakness in the legs.

How Our Back Pain Treatment Works

  1. Exam and diagnosis. Dr. Weinberg reviews your history, checks posture, movement, strength and reflexes, and orders imaging if needed.
  2. A custom plan. Your plan may include traditional chiropractic adjustments, ART muscle work, nonsurgical spinal decompression and massage therapy.
  3. Physical therapy modalities. Ultrasound, traction and electrotherapy help calm pain and muscle spasm.
  4. Active rehabilitation. A home and in-office exercise program builds core and back strength to help keep pain from coming back.
