Back Pain Chiropractor in Bentonville, AR

Back pain is a chronic or acute condition that can impact a person’s life in many ways. It can deter people from getting out of bed, going to work, or enjoying quality family time outdoors. This type of pain can be caused by problems with the nerves, tendons, discs, bones, or muscles in the back. Unfortunately, many people will put off receiving the medical treatment they need, hoping their condition will improve over time. In some cases, back pain can resolve on its own, but in others, when pain isn’t addressed immediately, it can result in serious health issues that affect other areas of the body.

At Deep Roots Chiropractic Health Center, our qualified chiropractors can analyze and correct the original trauma that is causing your pain. We believe in addressing the underlying problem, not just managing your symptoms. At our facility, we’ll use gentle chiropractic techniques to improve your quality of life and mitigate your pain.

Symptoms of Back Pain

The symptoms of chronic and acute back pain are very similar and can include:

  • Aching, burning, or shooting pain that returns after taking medication or trying home remedies such as ice or heat
  • Stiffness or tightness when standing, sitting, or lying down for long periods of time
  • Difficulty sleeping through the night
  • Weakness in the lower extremities
  • Tingling or numbness in the lower extremities

How Chiropractic Care Can Help With Back Pain

At Deep Roots Chiropractic Health Center, we use natural therapies to address the underlying cause of your pain, allowing you to enjoy a pain-free life.

Chiropractors focus specifically on mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the spine and utilize techniques such as spinal adjustments, and soft tissue therapy, recommend healthy lifestyle changes, and prescribe exercises. Unlike traditional medicine, chiropractic care takes a natural approach to addressing and managing pain.

What to Expect at Your Chiropractic Appointment

During your first visit to Deep Roots Chiropractic Health Center, our chiropractors will perform a physical exam to identify the underlying cause of your back pain and to determine which techniques will remove nerve impingement and restore alignment to your spine. When nervous system function is restored, the body is able to properly send and receive messages, often reducing pain.

Initial Evaluation

During your initial evaluation, we will:

  • Collect your medical history
  • Conduct a thorough physical exam
  • Learn about your activity level, work, exercise, and diet
  • Create a custom treatment plan that will alleviate pain, restore function, and prevent back pain in the future

Adjustment

A chiropractic adjustment is one of the most effective ways to help eliminate back pain. Treatment is safe, gentle, and effective. Chiropractic techniques work by decompressing joints and restoring the body to normal function. When a joint is compressed it becomes dysfunctional. When inflammation occurs due to improper movement, a person will begin to feel pain and discomfort.

To restore alignment to the spine, a chiropractor will use their hands or instruments to manipulate the thoracic spine, cervical spine, or lumbar spine. They will apply a controlled, focused, sudden force to the spinal joints to restore or improve joint function, allowing you to freely move without pain.

Post-Treatment Care

After an adjustment, your chiropractor will go over your personalized treatment plan and aftercare instructions, and discuss lifestyle changes you can make to prevent future injuries.

After an adjustment, we encourage you to practice self-care and take it easy. In most cases, light activities are fine, however, we do discourage participating in any strenuous activities or heavy lifting for the rest of the day.

Some patients may experience mild tenderness or soreness in the treated areas. This will often resolve in a few hours.

After treatment, you can speak to one of our friendly staff members to make a follow-up appointment.
