Low Back Pain

Gentle, individualized care for stiffness, posture strain, old injuries, and everyday discomfort.

Understanding Low Back Pain

 


Low back pain is incredibly common — often caused by long hours sitting, lifting, stress, old injuries, or changes in posture. When the joints, muscles, and soft tissues in the low back aren’t moving well, the body compensates. This can lead to tightness, limited motion, and recurring flare‑ups.


My goal is simple:
help your body move the way it was designed to, with less tension and more ease.

Pregnancy & Postpartum

Gentle, pregnancy‑specific care to support comfort and balance as your body changes.

Common reasons pregnant people come in:

  • Back, hip, or pelvic discomfort

  • SI joint irritation

  • Round ligament tension

  • Pubic symphysis discomfort

  • Baby positioning concerns (Webster‑trained support)

  • Postpartum recovery and core/pelvic balance

  • Scar restoration

How Chiropractic & Acupuncture Can Help

Care is always gentle, precise, and tailored to what your body needs that day. Treatment focuses on improving mobility, reducing muscular tension, and supporting healthier movement patterns.
                                           Your plan may include:


•     Gentle chiropractic adjustments
•     Soft‑tissue work for the low back, hips, and glutes
•     Acupuncture to reduce tension and support relaxation
•     Pelvic and lumbar mobility work
•     Posture and ergonomic strategies
•     Home exercises to support long‑term change


Most people notice they move more freely, feel less tight, and experience fewer episodes as their body becomes more balanced.

Athletes & Active Adults

Common Types of Low Back Pain I See

•     Posture‑related or sitting‑related discomfort
•     Stiffness and limited motion
•     Sciatica‑type leg tension
•     Old injury flare‑ups
•     Pregnancy‑related low back pain
•     Stress‑related tightness
•     Hip or SI joint‑related patterns

Low Back Pain in Pregnancy & Postpartum

Low back discomfort is extremely common during pregnancy and postpartum due to:


•     Postural changes
•     Hormonal shifts
•     Sleep changes
•     Feeding and carrying positions


Care is always gentle, safe, and adapted to each stage.

While every body responds differently, people commonly report:

  • More ease with movement

  • Better sleep or feeding comfort (babies)

  • Less tension during daily activities

  • Improved posture and balance

  • More stability and strength

  • A sense of “reset” or relaxation

What People Notice When Starting  Care

Low Back Pain in Adults, Teens & Athletes

Adults often deal with work‑related tension, while teens experience posture strain from screens.

Athletes may have overuse patterns or mobility limitations.

 

Treatment is tailored to age, activity level, and comfort.

Nutrition & Functional Testing


For patients whose low back tension may be influenced by inflammation or stress physiology, I offer:


•     Designs for Health functional testing
•     Targeted nutrition support
•     Practical, sustainable recommendations


This helps identify patterns that may be contributing to chronic tightness or recurring discomfort.

A Calm, Supportive Approach


With nearly 30 years of clinical experience, I focus on:


•     Clear communication
•     Gentle, evidence‑informed techniques
•     Practical, individualized plans
•     Helping you understand what’s happening in your body


You’ll never feel rushed or pressured — just supported.
