There are many different ways that a chiropractor can help with back pain. At your first appointment, I’ll ask about your symptoms and medical history to better understand your back pain, whether you’re experiencing low back pain, upper back pain, or both. I will then do a physical examination and may order tests to help identify lower back pain causes and other contributing factors.
Based on my findings, I’ll work with you to create a personalized treatment for back pain designed to target your specific issues and provide back pain relief. This plan may involve one or more of the following:
How it helps back pain: Active Release Technique (ART) targets tight muscles and soft tissue adhesions that often contribute to back pain. By gently breaking up these restrictions, it restores proper movement and flexibility in the spine. This technique also improves blood flow to the affected area, speeding up recovery. ART helps reduce muscle tension that can cause chronic discomfort or worsen spinal misalignment. Patients often experience increased range of motion and lasting relief after treatment.
How it helps back pain: Spinal Decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and pinched nerves. This non-surgical technique helps reduce pain from herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc conditions. By promoting proper spinal alignment, it supports the natural healing process of injured discs. Patients often notice a decrease in nerve-related pain and improved posture. Over time, spinal decompression can help restore mobility and prevent future back problems.
How it helps back pain: The Graston Technique uses specialized stainless steel tools to detect and break down scar tissue and adhesions in the back muscles. This treatment improves tissue mobility and helps relieve pain caused by chronic tension or injury. By promoting proper movement patterns, it reduces strain on the spine and surrounding muscles. Graston can accelerate the healing process and enhance overall back function. Many patients experience increased flexibility, reduced stiffness, and faster recovery after sessions.

Back pain refers to discomfort or soreness in the spine, muscles, or nerves and can range from mild to debilitating. It often stems from muscle strain, poor posture, herniated discs, or conditions like sciatica.
The pain can be localized to a specific area of the back or may radiate to other parts of the body, such as the buttocks, hips, or legs.
Activities that involve bending, twisting, or lifting might exacerbate the pain. Back pain can impact daily life and mobility, making it difficult to perform regular tasks or engage in physical activities.
Diagnosis involves identifying the underlying cause of the pain through medical evaluation, imaging, and sometimes additional tests.
Treatment options vary depending on the cause and severity of the pain and may include rest, pain relief medications, physical therapy, exercises to improve strength and flexibility, lifestyle modifications, and in certain cases, surgical intervention.
These approaches aim to provide effective back pain relief for both acute and chronic conditions.
Dr. Jeff Rosenberg specializes in non-invasive treatments like spinal decompression, active release therapy, and Graston technique to target the root cause of severe lower back pain and other issues. With tailored care, he restores strength, flexibility, and function to help you reclaim your life, delivering lasting back pain relief for his patients.
There are many different types of back pain, with different causes. The key to getting the right treatment is to establish which type of back pain you may be suffering from and to seek advice if it is not improving.
Your spine is one of the strongest parts of your body.
It is made of solid blocks of bone known as vertebra, joined together by softer pads or discs which act as shock absorbers and maintain flexibility. Your back is reinforced by strong ligaments, surrounded by powerful muscles for support. It is, in fact, surprisingly difficult to damage your spine.
The majority of people with back pain are suffering from what is known as ‘simple’ or ‘mechanical’ back pain. This means that the pain is not related to any serious underlying condition and there are no trapped or compressed nerves.
We do not always know the exact tissues that are involved in simple back pain. Muscles, joints and ligaments can all be involved. Simple back pain can be caused by poor posture, prolonged sitting in an uncomfortable position, and even muscular tension due emotional or work-related stress.
As we get older, wear and tear may contribute to back pain. The shock-absorbing pads or discs between the bones of the back can narrow with age and this can cause stiffness, pain and make it difficult to move.
Simple back pain is relatively common. Less frequently, the nerves of the back can sometimes become irritated, compressed or trapped. Again, there can be many reasons why this happens, but slipped discs or wear and tear can lead to pain spreading down the leg, which is commonly referred to as sciatica.
This can be accompanied by pins and needles, tingling, numbness and weakness in all or part of the leg and foot.
People experience back pain for all sorts of reasons. It might be the way they sit or stand, or because their work or lifestyle causes stress and strain on their back. Worry or stress can cause tension in the back muscles, or can delay recovery of existing back pain. Sometimes an old injury, or wear and tear over time, might also cause problems.
However, there is often no obvious reason why back pain develops.
Although it can be very painful, back pain rarely has a serious underlying cause. Seeing a qualified health professional, such as a chiropractor, who is experienced in diagnosing conditions of the back and spine, can help treat back pain, and also identify if a referral or specialist investigations are needed.
Back pain can be very uncomfortable as the tissues and structures of the back are very susceptible to pain.
Back pain can be felt in one or both sides of the back, sometimes between the shoulder blades or from waist level and into the buttocks and down the front or back of the legs. It can be a sharp or dull pain, and can spread into the lower legs and sometimes as far as the feet.
If the pain does not go after a few days, or starts to get worse, it is worth seeking professional advice. Early treatment will help you get better faster.
About half of people who have an episode of back pain will have another episode within a couple of years. But that still doesn’t mean that it is necessarily serious. Between episodes most people return to normal activities within two or three weeks, with few remaining symptoms.
Back pain can be very painful due to inflammation and muscle spasm, and you may need to take it easy for a while. But resting for more than a day or two does not usually help, and may actually do more harm than good. It is best to try to keep moving and seek the help of a trained professional, such as a chiropractor, if you are finding it difficult to cope, or to speed up recovery.
Your back is designed for movement. The sooner you get back to normal activity, the sooner your back will feel better. The people who cope best are those who stay active and get on with their life despite the pain.
If your back pain does not improve, it is important to seek help. Early treatment will get you better faster.
Chiropractors specialise in assessing, diagnosing and managing conditions of the spine. They are highly trained in finding the cause of pain in the spine. In the UK they undergo a minimum of four years’ full-time training. Importantly, chiropractors are regulated by law and must work within strict professional and ethical boundaries.
Before starting treatment, a chiropractor will do a full assessment. This will involve taking details about your condition, current health and medical history, and performing a physical examination. Sometimes it may be necessary to refer you for other tests, such as X-rays, MRI scans or blood tests. It is important for your chiropractor to gather as much information about your back pain as possible so that the most precise diagnosis can be made.
Your chiropractor will then explain what is wrong, what can be done and what you can expect from chiropractic treatment.
