Chronic Neck & Back Pain

Schedule Your Chiropractic Appointment

We’ll call to schedule your appointment with our chiropractor.

“The leading causes of disability are musculoskeletal injuries, meaning disorders of muscles, joints, nerves, bones. The most common approach typically takes a segmented approach of only medications to treat the issue. Although symptoms can be suppressed with medications, that’s only one component to the disorder complex that’s being addressed. By also addressing the movement and healing component, we can successfully treat these injuries. At PEAK we address ALL of the aspects for resolution instead of just ‘dealing with’ constant pain cycles.”

– Dr. Brandon Aucker, DC, MS, PSP

PEAK Integrative Medicine believes in chiropractic care that is based on evidence, doesn’t involve drugs, and supports your whole-body health plan. This all-around method of managing pain helps the body work better and keeps the spine healthy in the long run. Comprehensive care doesn’t just treat the symptoms; it also treats the underlying problems, like muscle tension and poor posture.

Chiropractic care is one of the best ways to non-invasively treat chronic neck and back pain. Spinal misalignments, repetitive stress, or past injuries can all cause nerve pressure, tight muscles, and limited mobility. These imbalances can cause long-term pain and even headaches and exhaustion over time.

To help with your chronic neck and back pain, we might suggest making some changes to your way of life.

• Ergonomics: teaching patients how to sit properly and not bend their heads forward, which is a common cause of chronic neck strain
• Movement: being aware of your posture while doing everyday things, taking breaks to move your body often, and doing neck retraction exercises
• Sleep Support: a pillow between the knees can help people who sleep on their sides, and a lumbar roll can help people who sleep on their backs
• Stress Reduction: journaling or guided meditation can help you manage your emotions better and improve your physical therapy

Every patient has a different experience with neck or back pain. We emphasize shared decision-making to create personalized integrative treatment plans that combine the therapies listed above based on each patient’s needs, symptom patterns, and lifestyle. Whether you want to get rid of chronic pain or just get regular chiropractic care, we are here to help you live a life free of pain and full of activity.
