Back Pain

- Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missed work. In fact, back pain is the second most common reason for visits to the doctor’s office, outnumbered only by upper-respiratory infections.
- Most cases of back pain are mechanical or non-organic—meaning they are not caused by serious conditions, such as inflammatory arthritis, infection, fracture or cancer.

Lower back pain if often caused by sciatica or degenerative disorders like arthritis or osteoporosis. Other things that can cause back pain are obesity, poor posture, stress, lack of exercise.

Treatment of Back Pain
Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments
Subluxations pinch nerves that can cause pain and dysfunction, not only in the lower back, but throughout the body. Dr. David Taylor uses both hands-on and instrument adjusting techniques that are gentle, precise and restore correct spinal alignment that frees pinched nerves and relieves discomfort.
Spinal Decompression
This comfortable, effective form of targeted traction focuses on stretching, healing, re-hydrating and re-shaping bulging and herniated discs so that they stop pinching nerves.
