Help for Back Pain in Denver
Back pain affects nearly everyone at some point, and it can range from a dull ache to sharp, debilitating discomfort that interrupts your daily life. Whether your pain appeared suddenly or has been building over time, understanding what’s happening in your body is the first step toward feeling better. At Denver Chiropractic Center, we take a straightforward approach to identifying the root cause of your pain and creating a treatment plan that actually works.
What Causes Back Pain?
Most back pain stems from mechanical issues rather than serious disease. Common culprits include:
- Muscle tension from overuse
- Joint restrictions that limit movement
- Disc irritation or degeneration
- Poor posture habits
- Old injuries or scar tissue affecting movement
Through a thorough evaluation—including your health history, movement testing, and hands-on examination—we can pinpoint which tissues are involved. This means we treat the actual problem instead of guessing.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper movement to restricted spinal joints, reducing irritation and allowing your nervous system to function better. When combined with Active Release Technique (ART), we can address the tight, scarred, or overloaded muscles that often accompany back pain.
This dual approach targets both joint dysfunction and soft tissue restrictions, giving you real relief rather than temporary fixes. The evidence shows this combination reduces pain and improves how you move and feel.
What to Expect During Treatment
Most patients notice improvement within two to four visits, though this depends on how long you’ve had the problem and how irritated the tissues are. Dr. Glenn Hyman tailors your treatment to your specific condition and what you need to do each day.
A typical plan includes:
- Joint adjustments to restore spinal motion
- Active Release Technique for muscle and soft tissue tension
- Corrective exercises to reinforce improvements
You won’t get unnecessary treatments or pressure to commit to lengthy care plans.
When You Should Seek Help
If your back pain has lasted more than a few days, keeps coming back, disrupts your sleep or daily activities, or you’d rather not rely on pain medication, it’s time to get evaluated. Waiting rarely makes things better, and addressing issues early often means faster recovery. We’ve helped patients throughout Denver resolve both acute flare-ups and chronic pain they’ve lived with for years.
