Understanding Back Pain

What It Is & Why It Happens

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit our office. Whether it is a dull ache that never goes away or sharp pain that stops you in your tracks, the cause is almost always structural. Misalignments in the spine create nerve interference, muscle imbalance, and disc pressure — and those underlying problems only get worse if they are only addressed with medication.

At The Roots Health Centers, we use advanced scanning technology to identify exactly where the problem is, then build a corrective plan to fix it. Our approach combines Torque Release Technique adjustments, spinal decompression therapy (when disc involvement is present), and supporting therapies like shockwave and red light for chronic inflammation.

Most patients begin to notice improvement within the first few weeks of care, with significant progress over 90 days. Our corrective plans are designed to create lasting structural change — not just temporary relief.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients notice improvement within the first few weeks of corrective care. Full correction typically takes three to six months, depending on severity and how long the issue has been building. We re-scan at regular intervals so you can see your progress in real data.

Most back pain — even severe back pain — responds to corrective chiropractic care and supporting therapies like decompression. Surgery is a last resort for most disc issues, and many of our patients avoid it entirely by addressing the underlying structural problem first.
