The basics

What is back pain relief?

Back pain is the most common reason adults visit a chiropractor, and it has dozens of possible drivers, disc, joint, muscle, nerve, or postural. The reason most back pain comes back is that the original cause was never identified. We separate the symptom from the source so the relief sticks.

Our process

How back pain relief works at Synergy Spine

  1. 01

    A focused exam to identify the structural driver, disc, joint, or soft tissue.

  2. 02

    A care plan matched to the driver, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

  3. 03

    Adjustments, soft-tissue work, and decompression where appropriate.

  4. 04

    A home program so you stop re-injuring the same area.

FAQ

Common questions about back pain relief in Placitas

QWhen should I see a chiropractor for back pain instead of toughing it out?

If pain is interrupting sleep, lasting more than 35 days, or radiating into a leg, see a chiropractor. Catching it early in Placitas makes the fix faster, cheaper, and far less likely to recur.

QWill an adjustment make my back pain worse?

A correctly applied adjustment shouldn't increase pain. Some patients notice 2448 hours of mild soreness as the body re-adapts, like the day after a good workout. We modify the approach for sensitive cases.

QWhat's the difference between back pain from a muscle vs. a disc?

Muscle pain is usually local, dull, and worse with movement. Disc pain often radiates, can numb or tingle, and may be worse with sitting or sneezing. Our exam separates the two so the right tool gets used.
