Back pain is one of the leading reasons adults seek medical care. Whether you experience lower back pain, upper back discomfort, or a combination of spine-related issues, our integrative care team is here to help.
What Is Back Pain?
Back pain refers to discomfort in the spine—most commonly in the lumbar region (lower back), though it can also affect the thoracic (middle back) and cervical (neck).
Types of back pain include:
- Acute back pain: Short-term pain, often from injury or strain.
- Chronic back pain: Lasting more than three months, resistant to standard treatments.

Back Pain FAQs
What type of doctor should I see for back pain?
A functional medicine provider or chiropractor can offer personalized, non-invasive care that treats root causes—not just symptoms.
Can inflammation cause back pain?
Yes. Chronic inflammation is a common driver of spinal pain, which is why we test for inflammatory markers.
Is chiropractic care safe for chronic back pain?
Absolutely. Adjustments performed by licensed chiropractors can improve alignment and relieve pain naturally.
How long until I see results?
Many patients report improvements within weeks, especially when combining multiple therapies like chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture.
Is surgery my only option?
No. Our integrative approach offers many non-surgical alternatives for long-term relief.
