Back Pain Relief
Severe back pain can strike anyone at any time, regardless of age. Causes of severe or chronic back pain can include:
- Auto Accidents
- Pinched Nerves
- Disorders of the Spinal Discs
- Whiplash
- Scoliosis
It is thought that five out of six adults will experience some type of pain in the lower back within their lifetime. In fact, pain in the lower back is one of the top reasons that many manufacturing workers miss time at work. Strangely enough, the smaller injuries are generally the injuries to the back that cause the most pain.
Someone who experiences a back strain is more likely to experience painful spasms in the lower back than someone whose spinal disc has either been herniated or has degenerated. Many sufferers of spinal disc disorders often experience little or no pain at all.
I classify pain in the lower back as either acute or chronic.
Acute Back Pain
Acute back pain symptoms are symptoms that suddenly show up in the form of painful back spasms. They may only last for a few hours or they may last for a few days. I am well-versed and familiar with acute back pain and in many cases, I can relieve your suffering quickly.
It is important that if you suddenly experience a pain in your lower back that you make an appointment and see me immediately. If left untreated or if ignored, acute back pain can often become extremely serious and lead to chronic back pain.
Chronic Back Pain
Chronic back pain symptoms are symptoms and pain that have been experienced for at least two months. The symptoms can be either progressive, where the pain gets a little worse each day, or the pain may be experienced as a sudden flare that comes and goes.
I specialize in both acute and chronic pain management and can provide treatment that can cure you of needless suffering and give you the relief you need.
Upper Back Pain
Upper back pain, also known as Thoracic Pain, is usually associated with auto accidents and whiplash. Tension and stress are often "carried" in the shoulders and neck. This tension pain can radiate into the upper back, causing severe pain.
Athletes often suffer from shoulder and upper back pain injuries. My gentle manipulations can ease the stress and tension in your life and can alleviate pain that is experienced in your upper back.
I have many years experience treating athletes who suffer from pain in the upper back, including golfers, tennis players, baseball, football, and basketball players. Whether you are a professional athlete, an amateur, or a hobbyist, I can provide soothing relief.
Pregnancy and Back Pain
The more advanced your pregnancy, the worse the back pain can become. Pregnancy and back pain are associated together for a few reasons.
- Your pelvis is relaxing to prepare you for the birth of your child. At the same time, your uterus is growing and expanding. This puts the majority of your weight in front of you and adds extra work and stress onto the back, resulting in pain.
- Your center of gravity has also shifted as you advance through the stages of your pregnancy. Again, your back has to do extra work to account for this gravitational shift.
- In addition, the hormones that are produced during pregnancy can affect the ligaments and joints in the back, resulting in sacroiliac joint dysfunction, which causes pain in the lower and mid-back.
I have many years experience in the treatment of back pain in pregnant women. My gentle methods and special training have enabled me to provide back pain relief through all three trimesters.
Your pregnancy should be a joyful time, not a painful time. Additionally, babies, while in utero, can often pick up on the pain and stress experienced by the mother. Gentle, safe, chiropractic treatments can result in a healthier pregnancy and a healthier baby.
Back Pain Treatment and Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are performed by skilled and licensed chiropractors in order to treat back pain. Back pain treatment can include spinal manipulations and other hands-on treatments.
I believe that a holistic, hands-on approach will enable your body to regain mobility in joints that have been stressed by either a trauma, injury, or repetitive motion or stress. My goals for my patients are simple. I believe that everyone has the right to live pain-free. I believe that often, back pain is dismissed by the conventional medical community. I believe that with proper, licensed, chiropractic care, injury to the spine can be treated and can also be prevented.
Research has shown that properly executed spinal adjustments can stop the pain associated with neck and back injury, headaches, fibromyalgia, and osteoarthritis besides alleviating the acute pain associated with a sudden spinal spasm.
My goal as a Back Pain Chiropractor is to restore you to the person you were before pain and injury took over your life. Please contact me today for an initial consultation and let me get you on the path to healing and wellness.
Patient Testimonials
"Over Christmas, I cooked dinner for my family. I guess I pulled something when I took the turkey out of the oven, because the next day I could barely walk.
A week later, I was still experiencing horrible back pain. I went to my doctor and he suggested an MRI and gave me some prescriptions. All the pills did was make me sleepy.
My sister suggested I make an appointment with Dr. Minond. I felt better after my first appointment with him!
He really took the time to talk with me and find out where I was hurting.
I canceled my MRI and I continue to see Dr. Minond. I have received excellent care."

Lower Back Pain
