How we approach back pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care, and one of the most misunderstood. Pain in the lower or mid back is rarely just a muscle or joint problem — your nervous system plays a significant role in how pain is experienced and maintained.
At Midtown Family Chiropractic Centre, our doctors use a brain-based approach to assessment and care. Rather than focusing only on where it hurts, we assess how the spine, nervous system, and surrounding structures are functioning together — and what may be contributing to your symptoms.
Depending on your assessment findings, care may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises, postural guidance, and ergonomic advice. Every care plan is individual.
Conditions we commonly see
- Lower back pain and stiffness
- Mid-back tension and discomfort
- Disc-related complaints (bulge, herniation)
- Postural strain from desk work
- Back pain associated with sciatica
- Back injuries from sport or accident
- Pregnancy-related back discomfort
Chiropractic care for back pain may help support mobility, reduce discomfort, and improve how your back functions over time. Results vary by individual.
