Back pain and sciatica are one of the most common complaints we see as chiropractors here at Mahoney Family Chiropractic. It is estimated 70%-90% of the population will experience an episode of back pain at some stage in their life.

For anyone who has suffered from this condition, you are aware of how debilitating it can be. Back pain and sciatica can significantly impact your daily life, hampering many everyday activities.

Due to the varying nature of back pain, there are many potential differential diagnoses including sciatica (numbness, tingling, and shooting pain), facet syndrome, muscle sprains, joint sprains, disc bulges and many more. It is important that we correctly identify what type of back pain you are experiencing in order to have success with treatment.

Common Causes:

• Poor posture/spinal alignment

• Inactivity/sedentary lifestyle

• Prolonged sitting

• Trauma

• Repetitive poor movement

• Poor lifting technique

• Sports injuries

• Underlying disease or pathology (rare)

Treating Back Pain and Sciatica:

• Once we have identified the root causes of your back pain, we will develop a customized treatment plan that combines the best of chiropractic, physical therapy, and the latest technology. Our treatment protocols may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments involve the manipulation of the spine to correct misalignments and restore proper function to the nervous system. This can help to reduce pain and stiffness, improve range of motion, and promote healing in the affected area.

• Physical therapy may include a range of techniques such as exercise, stretching, massage, and traction. These techniques can help to improve strength and flexibility, reduce pain and stiffness, and prevent future injuries.
  EPAT Shock Wave Therapy: This non-invasive therapy uses sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in the affected area.

• Class IV Medical Laser Therapy: We use medical-grade lasers to stimulate healing and reduce pain in the affected area.

• Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression: This therapy uses a special table to gently stretch the spine and decompress the affected area, reducing pain and promoting healing.

• Medical-grade supplements: We may recommend medical-grade supplements to support your body's natural healing process.

• Self-care: We will provide you with self-care techniques such as exercises and stretches to promote healing and prevent future pain.
