Back Pain Specialist

What causes back pain?

Back pain is the result of many factors. When pain lasts more than six months, your pain is considered chronic. Chronic pain is often due to conditions like:

• Arthritis
• Muscle strains
• Herniated discs
• Spinal curvature
• Nerve compression

You can also develop chronic back pain because of being overweight or improperly lifting heavy objects.

As you get older, your spinal vertebrae begin to deteriorate, which can lead to chronic back pain and a gradual loss of your mobility.

How does chiropractic care help with back pain?

As an experienced chiropractor, Dr. Mann knows many techniques that address the root cause of your back pain. If you have nerve compression issues from an injury or herniated disc, Dr. Mann may recommend spinal decompression therapy. This type of treatment involves spinal stretching maneuvers on a special table to address vertebrae misalignments or damaged discs that press on your nerves.

Dr. Mann also performs manual and instrument-assisted manipulations to correct the alignment of your spine and improve your mobility. Over the course of several appointments, Dr. Mann makes necessary adjustments to realign the joints of your spine, hips, and shoulders to alleviate chronic pain.

Dr. Mann creates a comprehensive treatment plan based on your specific needs with the goal of alleviating pain for the long-term and reducing the worsening of your pain and mobility issues.

What other treatments are available for chronic back pain?

In addition to chiropractic care, Dr. Mann evaluates the severity of your condition and recommends other therapies, including massage and services with a certification in physiotherapy.

Massage therapy is good for relaxing the back muscles that support your spine and increasing blood flow to injured muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

With his certification in physiotherapy, Dr. Mann can review its benefits including boosting the muscles that support your spine and restoring your mobility and the range of motion in your back. Dr. Mann may also recommend at-home exercises to keep your spine strong and prevent additional injuries that worsen existing back pain.
