Chiropractors have several ways of treating back pain, depending on the nature, location, and source of the pain. Most importantly, almost all chiropractic methods of alleviating back pain are non-invasive and don’t involve long recovery periods. In fact, patients often can go on with their days immediately after treatment. Some possible treatments a chiropractor may suggest for back pain include the following:

• massage therapy to relax muscles and alleviate soft-tissue soreness

• physical therapy to recover from a specific back injury

• chiropractic manipulations to adjust spinal misalignments

• acupuncture to restore balance and energy in the body

In addition to these treatments, chiropractors are also often able to help patients identify the cause of their back pain and think about changes they can make to address the underlying cause.
