Back pain can affect people of all ages and activity levels.

By identifying the underlying cause of the problem, our team develops targeted treatments that help patients return to normal movement safely and comfortably.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can develop from many different conditions and lifestyle factors. Some of the most common causes include:
Muscle strains from lifting or repetitive movement
Herniated or bulging discs
Poor posture from sitting or computer use
Degenerative spinal conditions
Sedentary lifestyle or weak core muscles
Many patients also experience back pain from long periods of sitting, especially when posture and ergonomics are not ideal. Our goal is to determine the source of the pain and create a treatment plan that addresses both the symptoms and the underlying cause.
Chiropractic and Physical Therapy for Back Pain
At Precision Chiropractic and Rehab, patients benefit from a combined approach that integrates chiropractic care and physical therapy.
Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment and movement within the spine. When spinal joints are restricted or misaligned, surrounding muscles and nerves can become irritated, leading to pain and stiffness. Gentle adjustments help improve mobility and reduce pressure on affected areas.
Physical therapy focuses on strengthening muscles, improving flexibility and correcting movement patterns that contribute to pain. Therapeutic exercises and guided rehabilitation can help stabilize the spine and prevent recurring injuries.
By combining these two approaches, many patients experience faster recovery and improved long term results.
