Back Pain Care at Structure Integrative Healthcare
Unsurprisingly, back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care, as this discomfort affects everything from sitting at a desk to picking up your kids or enjoying a walk around Naperville.
Some describe it as a dull ache, while others experience sharp or burning pain, and many notice a stiff or even “locked” sensation that limits their movement. Pain in the mid or lower back—or even across the shoulders—can interfere with everything from daily routines to simple movements, such as bending or reaching.
Where Your Discomfort Comes From
Most cases of spinal tension result from long-term strain rather than sudden injury, building gradually due to lifestyle and repetitive habits. Pregnant women, athletes, and people with physically demanding jobs often find that those pressures increase the strain on the spine. Left unchecked, these stressors create patterns of misalignment that eventually show up as recurring back pain.
How Chiropractic Helps to Restore Motion
Every patient begins with a thorough evaluation, which may include INSiGHT™ scans or X-rays to see what’s happening structurally and neurologically. With a clear picture of the spine’s condition, Dr. Cortney will create a care plan tailored to each individual. Chiropractic adjustments aim to loosen restricted joints, ease built-up tension, and support proper spinal mechanics.
Building Strength to Complement Adjustments
While adjustments address alignment, lasting relief comes from combining care with practical self-care strategies, such as:
- Stretching to improve hip and spine flexibility
- Strengthening core muscles to protect the back
- Setting up an ergonomic workspace
- Using stress management tools to prevent tension build-up
Together, these steps help patients not only alleviate pain but also maintain long-term spinal health.
Real Improvements for the Real World
We’ve seen patients return to gardening, sports, and even simple household tasks after struggling with constant back pain. One woman told us she finally regained her “freedom” after months of being unable to stand comfortably, a reminder of how life-changing spinal care can be.
