Back Pain Treatment in Minneapolis

At Take Care Chiropractic & Wellness, we see many patients who complain of low back pain in Minneapolis. Our Downtown Minneapolis chiropractor provides pain management and treatment for low back pain that can help you live in comfort and restore your quality of life.

Causes & Symptoms of Lower Back Pain in Minneapolis

Low back pain has many potential causes. Our chiropractor's initial goal is to determine, based on your symptoms and health history, what could be causing your back pain so we can treat it.

Causes of back pain include auto accident injury, workplace injury, poor posture, pulled muscle, sciatica, overuse or repetitive strain injury, slipped disc, and arthritis.

For all of these causes, the main presenting symptom is pain in the back. Some patients experience a low-grade chronic pain while others feel sharp pain. Some patients self-report reduced range of motion and stiffness that prevent them from doing activities they love.

Sciatica sufferers feel pain not only in the low back, but in the legs, hips, and buttocks as well.

Chiropractic care provides natural pain relief for low back pain, no matter the cause. It is a conservative method of care. Before you resort to something like back surgery, which brings a steep price tag and long recovery, why not give our chiropractor in Minneapolis a try?

How Chiropractic Care Relieves Back Pain

Our Downtown Minneapolis chiropractor always bases treatment on your individual and unique symptoms and test results. No two patients need the exact same treatment.

If you have a muscle strain, subluxation of the spine, or underlying injury, our chiropractic adjustments will calm the nervous system to reduce inflammation and pain. As we adjust the spine back into alignment, pressure and inflammation will lessen to end your back pain naturally.

To complement chiropractic care and heal muscle aches and strains, we offer massage therapy services. A massage can not only relax your mind and body but play a role in eliminating your back pain. By increasing circulation in stiff muscles and releasing endorphins, massage helps your muscles relax, recover, and heal.

In addition to natural pain relief, we will make pain management suggestions. We may recommend anti-inflammatory supplements for you to take or counsel you on weight loss strategies that can decrease pressure on your joints.

We will show you corrective exercises that help your back re-learn proper movement. When you move correctly, have good posture, and use good form when lifting or playing sports, you can stay healthy and live an active lifestyle.
