Too many times we turn to pain medication to manage our back pain. Unfortunately, this is not the correct approach and can be dangerous in certain situations. Most causes of back pain are mechanical in nature and require a mechanical approach for proper treatment. Trying to treat with chemicals and drugs will only mask the symptoms while the actual causes worsen. Causes of lower back pain are many, and at times can be difficult to diagnose.

At Chicago InHealth Center we first work to determine the actual cause of the back pain. Once the cause is determined, our doctors will work together to determine a proper treatment approach suited for your condition. We offer several special techniques at our clinic specifically designed to treat many causes of lower back pain. Depending on your cause, you may require only one or several of these therapies.

Most lower back pain suffers find relief of pain within 1-3 treatment sessions at our clinic. Xray, MRI, and CT scan imaging can also be ordered if adequate improvement is not seen within a reasonable time frame.

Physical Therapy

One thing we pride ourselves on is our ability to teach our patients how to self treat and manage their own pain outside of the clinic. Because of this, our patients are able to find relief from back pain on their own and reduce the number of visits needed at the office. We implement a series of core and lower back exercises specific to each individuals needs to focus on pain relief, strengthening, and reducing the risk of future episodes.
