Since 2003, Proctor Chiropractic in Tacoma, Washington has provided all-natural care that helps patients lead healthier lives. Make our healthcare center your first stop if you need a chiropractor in Tacoma to relieve your back pain. Low back pain might be the result of an auto accident, which can cause severe trauma to your neck and spinal column. A sports-related injury could have a similar impact, because a collision on the playing field can tear the ligaments, tendons and muscles that support the lower back.

Common Causes Of Low Back Pain Seen By Your Tacoma Chiropractor

Some patients experience low back pain as the result of a work-related injury. Perhaps their job includes lifting heavy objects, climbing, driving, standing, or sitting at a computer for long periods of time. Poor ergonomic design in the workplace environment can sometimes lead to awkward back positioning, which can become painful over time.

Other patients have underlying causes for back pain such as sciatica, scoliosis, or a herniated disk. We have even found that poor posture can compress the spine, and insufficient shoe support can trigger chronic back pain. Whatever the cause of your low back pain, the only thing you want is relief.

Chiropractic Treatment for Low Back Pain

Our Tacoma chiropractors - Dr. George Keogh, Dr. Joseph Luke, and Dr. Robert Grimmer - have substantial experience treating low back pain patients with drug-free pain management solutions. Your treatment plan may include chiropractic adjustments and manipulations, which will target the underlying cause of pain, while also providing immediate pain relief.

We might recommend a course of massage therapy, physiotherapy, or cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation and help your injured muscles heal faster. Corrective exercises may be prescribed to strengthen your core muscles and support the spine.
