Struggling with low back pain? Here’s how we help.
Lower back pain can be debilitating — and frustrating. With so much information online and so many treatment options available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed trying to figure out what will actually help.
After more than 20 years of helping patients with lower back pain, we’ve learned that successful treatment starts with having a clear, individualized plan. Our goal is not only to help patients feel better, but also to reduce the likelihood of chronic pain and recurring flare-ups.
Why you may not be getting results:
First know that each person is different and should be treated as such. That’s why the things your friend tried may not work for you. On-line resources can be helpful but are typically non-specific. Outcomes and treatment will be different depending on whether a patient has stenosis, herniated discs, scoliosis, degeneration (arthritis), etc.
We do things a little differently at Leahy Chiropractic.
After a thorough consultation and examination we take a full set of x-rays. Why? Simple. When utilized by a BioPhysics Chiropractor (CBP ©) x-rays will give us more detailed information regarding your actual posture and structure. This allows for more specific chiropractic adjustments and exercises but also to see if you’ve lost or gained curves over time. This requires a completely different method to fix than adjustments and exercises alone and allows us to actually measure your results.
Home Care
“What are you doing the other 23 hours you are not in our office”. If we don’t talk about your lifestyle or habits for posture (get that phone up!), your office or work chair, or give you simple suggestions for relieving your pain at home, you are not going to see improvement. Having someone to guide you directly saves time, money, and suffering.
Help Beyond Our Office
Many patients may also benefit from working with other professionals. If we do not see results with our care, we will absolutely refer you for not only imaging, such as an MRI, but physical therapy, massage, therapy, acupuncture etc. Imagine having a doctor that is there throughout your journey and not just “handing you off” to the next person or telling you they can’t help you and you’re left to navigate the system.
If you’re ready to take the next step, we are here for you! Call or email our office and we will help you get started. You deserve to feel your best!
