Back Pain Relief Without Surgery or Medication
Non-surgical, drug-free care for acute and chronic back pain — built around a full assessment, not a guess.
Back pain is the number one reason patients walk through our door — and it rarely has a single cause. Whether it's from a desk job, an old injury, or something that came on with no clear trigger at all, Dr. Nick builds every back pain plan around a real exam, not a generic protocol.
Common Causes of Back Pain We See
- Muscle strain from lifting, exercise, or repetitive movement
- Disc-related issues, including bulging or herniated discs
- Poor posture from long hours at a desk
- Old injuries that never fully resolved
- Auto accidents and slip-and-fall injuries
How We Treat Back Pain
Most back pain plans start with chiropractic adjustments to restore proper motion to the spine, often paired with Erchonia laser therapy to calm inflammation and the infrared & PEMF mat for deeper muscle relief. If your back pain is tied to an accident, we'll also document everything for your claim — see our personal injury & slip-and-fall care page.
When to See a Chiropractor for Back Pain
If your back pain has lasted more than a few days, keeps coming back, or is limiting what you can do day to day, it's worth getting a real assessment rather than waiting it out. Read more on our blog about how often you should see a chiropractor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can chiropractic care really help chronic back pain?
Yes — many patients with long-standing back pain see real improvement once the underlying cause (posture, old injury, disc issue) is properly assessed and addressed rather than just treating the symptom.
Do I need imaging before I can be treated?
Not always. Dr. Nick's hands-on exam identifies most mechanical issues directly. If imaging is warranted, he'll refer you before starting treatment.
How many visits will I need for back pain relief?
It depends on how long you've had the pain and what's causing it. Many patients feel improvement within the first few visits, with a full plan mapped out after your exam.
