Drug-Free Treatment of Lower Back Pain
Low back pain is one of the most common complaints from adults of all ages. At ChiroConcepts Plano, we can identify the underlying cause of your back pain and treat the cause rather than masking your symptoms with prescription medication. Dr. Matthew Schindlbeck and his team can offer diagnostic testing and drug-free chiropractic therapies in Plano, TX, and surrounding areas that will relieve back pain and help you get back to your regular life. Here’s a look at how to get rid of low back pain without medication.
What Are the Causes of Lower Back Pain in Adults?
Before Dr. Schindlbeck and his team design your back pain treatment plan, we will determine the root cause of your back pain. We can take an x-ray, MRI, or CT scan to rule out injury or confirm a diagnosis. We will also complete a comprehensive physical examination, take your medical history, discuss your lifestyle and symptoms, and go over your family medical history. We may ask you to go through some simple physical movements in front of us so we can evaluate your balance, posture, strength, range of motion, gait, and flexibility. The most common causes of lower back pain in adults are:
- Muscle sprains and strains
- Trauma or injury
- Fracture or spinal injury
- Herniated or bulging disc
- Age-related disc degeneration
- Sciatica
- Osteoarthritis
Can You Get Rid of Lower Back Pain Without Medication?
Yes, we offer safe, drug-free chiropractic therapies. If you want an alternative to prescription medications or surgery, we will create a conservative, minimally-invasive treatment plan. If conservative back pain treatment options don’t work, we can refer you to a specialist or surgeon.
