Back pain is the number-one reason people seek chiropractic care, and Wheat Chiropractic treats it with a full diagnostic workup before any hands-on work begins. Whether the pain traces to a herniated disc, a muscle strain, degenerative disc disease, or years of poor posture, the doctors identify the root cause using a physical exam, range-of-motion testing, and on-site X-rays. Treatment pairs spinal adjustments with supportive therapies—ultrasound to reduce inflammation, electric stimulation to relax guarding muscles, and rehabilitative exercises to rebuild core strength. The goal is not temporary relief but lasting correction: patients receive a written care plan, progress re-exams, and home instructions so the spine stays stable between visits. No medications, no injections, no surgery—just targeted, conservative care that addresses why the pain started in the first place.
Many patients feel noticeable improvement after the first one or two visits, especially when the pain is acute. Chronic back pain that has built up over months typically requires a longer corrective plan, but your doctor gives you a clear timeline at your second appointment.
