Chiropractic Care for Back Pain
Back pain, including lower back pain, a pervasive medical issue in the United States, impacts countless individuals. It ranges from a persistent ache to a sudden shooting pain down the leg. It can strike unexpectedly, caused by accidents, falls, or heavy lifting, or it can gradually develop due to age-related changes in the spine. Inflammatory arthritis disorders or other medical conditions can also contribute to back pain.
Treating back pain depends on the cause and symptoms, which often involve multiple factors. Therefore, you can improve your health and reduce the likelihood of chronic or long-lasting pain.

sonji rice2025-02-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really think Dr. Evans and Dr. Taylor are wonderful at what they do! During my first appointment, Melissa made me feel at ease while she asked a few questions and took my x-rays. Dr. Evans then went through my x-rays with me and explained everything really well, which I appreciated so much. I’ve also seen Dr. Taylor a couple of times for adjustments, and he’s always been so professional and friendly! The only downside is that their practice is a bit far from my home, making it tough for me to go regularly right now. But I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for great care!

I have been receiving services at Advantage Chiropractic for a while now. I am getting more comfortable with the process. The services have been helpful and have made a difference. The Chiropractors and staff members are always pleasant, which is a plus. Brian Brandolino2025-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I didn't realize how out of whack by shoulders and back had become thru years of sports, sport related injuries and simply by being older. After a few months of careful attention by the doctors and staff, I steadily gained back flexibility and most importantly decreased the level of pain and soreness in my joints. I wish when I was younger, we didn't just rub dirt on it, but instead had some intelligent therapy to treat injuries and bounce back better. Cathy Schultz2024-12-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone in the office is so professional and friendly. If you need to change an appointment, or have a specific area of pain to address, the 3 office staff ladies or the 2 friendly, knowledgeable chiropractors will listen, and do their best to help you. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this chiropractor as someone who can help with body pain including neuropathy. As someone who has been described as a complex case of neuropathy to solve, I have gladly welcomed them to my team. Adalis Rivera2024-12-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been going to Advantage Chiropractic for about 3 months now and the change in my health and body is awesome! I can now sleep well, I have less stomach issues and no longer have excruciating pain/discomfort in my shoulder. I was a bit skeptical starting out but these adjustments are obviously working. The staff is so nice and organized. I recommend anyone who prioritizes their health to visit and get a free consultation as soon as possible. Thank you Advantage Chiropractic!!! Salinas Angels2024-11-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hello reviewer, I saw a commercial that emphasized non-surgical help with issues I've been experiencing the past couple of years. I went in for an evaluation/assessment with x-rays and a gadget to measure nerve damage, and only paid $49.00 for that exam. I found out I had nerve damage in both of my lower legs and feet. We discussed a plan, and I felt hopeful. My health insurance paid about one third of the cost for this particular plan, and I paid out-of-pocket for the balance. They do have a partnership with a health care financial center (i.e., requires a hard credit check) that will finance the balance with 0% interest which was helpful. I've been getting neuropathy therapy since September, and my feet are feeling better with less pain. I sleep better, and fall asleep easier and quicker, and sleep throughout the night now. I appear to have more energy. In addition, I have equipment that was included with the therapy plan fees that I can use at home, and this has been helpful, too. They also provide handouts with different exercises to do from home, along with a protein powder to help with healthy bones. I go into the office twice a week to get adjustments on my spinal cord to improve my central nervous system which impacts my overall health status. The numbness in my lower legs have improved. I am having issues with my left heel now which they are addressing as well. The staff are polite and we are always welcomed with a kind smile, and thoughtful words of greeting. The chiropractors are friendly, professional in nature, and they listen to our needs. The ambiance has good vibes and a nice zen to it. The background music is soothing and appropriate for this type of health care facility. I keep in mind that the doctors can only do so much, and it is up to us to follow their implemented plan in order to get the results desired (i.e., pain free & improved nerves). I am grateful thus far, for giving this business a chance to help me feel better. Reducing my pain and maintaining a healthy central nervous system and keeping my legs strong and healthy as I continue to mature in age, is totally worth the investment! Yes, it is an investment and I desire to maintain my ability to stand and walk all the days of my life. Thank you Advantage Chiropractic in New Berlin, WI. G. Salinas
Our Unique Treatment Approach
Advantage Chiropractic is known for its unique treatment approach that distinguishes us from other chiropractic care providers. Our methodology is centered around the non-invasive and gentle Torque Release Technique (TRT), complemented by a range of holistic practices to address various back pain conditions effectively. We proudly offer an approach that stands out for its effectiveness and focus on holistic wellness.
Torque Release Technique (TRT):
- Non-Invasive and Gentle: TRT is renowned for its non-invasive nature. This means we can offer treatment without needing more aggressive techniques, which can relieve those apprehensive about chiropractic adjustments.
- Focused on Natural Healing: TRT works by aligning the spine and restoring nervous system function, enabling the body’s natural healing processes. This alignment is vital to not only relieving current discomfort but also preventing future episodes.
- Patient Comfort and Safety: We prioritize your comfort and safety above all. TRT is a technique that reduces the physical stress of adjustments, making it a comfortable experience even for those new to chiropractic care.
- Effective for a Range of Conditions: Whether you’re dealing with acute lower back pain, chronic issues like sciatica, or even more complex conditions like herniated discs, TRT has shown remarkable efficacy in treating a broad spectrum of back-related problems.
Causes of Back Pain
Back pain has become a common problem in our modern lifestyle, characterized by prolonged sitting, insufficient physical activity, and poor posture. Apart from these, there are other factors such as obesity, arthritis, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections which also contribute to this issue. At Advantage Chiropractic, we follow a holistic approach to diagnose and treat the various causes of back pain. We want you to know that we want you to know that we aim to offer you a comprehensive understanding of your condition and provide effective management to help you recover.
Back Pain Conditions We Treat
Our expertise encompasses a wide range of back pain conditions, each requiring a personalized treatment plan:
Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is often caused by muscle strains or ligament sprains, which can happen due to overexertion, improper lifting techniques, or sudden movements. Symptoms of lower back pain can include sharp pain, limited mobility, and muscle spasms. Fortunately, chiropractic care can be very effective in treating these conditions. By focusing on alleviating pressure on the nerves and muscles in the lower back, restoring alignment, and promoting natural healing, chiropractic care can help ease discomfort and restore normal function.
Sciatica
Sciatica refers to the pain that radiates from the lower back to the legs, usually affecting one side of the body. Sciatic nerve pain commonly occurs due to the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, often caused by a herniated disc or bone spur. Patients may experience sharp pain, numbness, or a burning sensation along the nerve. Our chiropractic approach involves spinal adjustments to alleviate nerve pressure and targeted exercises that strengthen the back and improve flexibility, effectively relieving sciatica symptoms.
Herniated Discs
When the soft inner material of a spinal disc protrudes through a tear in the outer layer, it leads to a herniated disc. This condition often causes nerve irritation and pain. Symptoms associated with herniated discs vary based on location and may include back pain, numbness, or limb weakness. Advantage Chiropractic primarily uses spinal adjustments to relieve pressure on the affected discs and nerves as our treatment plan for herniated discs. Our approach revolves around the Torque Release Technique (TRT), which aims to realign the spine, reduce nerve irritation, and promote natural healing. This technique offers a practical, non-invasive solution for herniated disc relief.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, which can cause pain, reduce mobility, and, in severe cases, lead to breathing difficulties. Our chiropractic care for scoliosis focuses on spinal adjustments to improve alignment and reduce discomfort. We also provide posture correction exercises and stretches to strengthen the spine and alleviate the symptoms of scoliosis.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a condition where the spaces within the spine become narrow, causing pressure on the nerves that travel through it. Spinal stenosis can result in symptoms like pain, numbness, and muscle weakness. Our approach to treating spinal stenosis involves spinal adjustments to open up these spaces and alleviate nerve pressure. We may also use decompression techniques to relieve symptoms further and improve overall spinal health.
Disc Bulges
Disc bulges and herniations are common causes of back pain. A bulging disc occurs when a disc extends beyond its normal boundary, while a herniated disc happens when the outer layer of the disc ruptures or tears. These conditions can compress spinal nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness. At Advantage Chiropractic, we focus on realigning the spine to alleviate disc pressure and treat disc bulges and herniations. We use the Torque Release Technique (TRT), a non-invasive method to correct spinal misalignments, reduce nerve compression, and alleviate discomfort. This approach emphasizes spinal health and alignment, offering an effective solution for relieving symptoms associated with disc bulges and herniations.
Subluxations
Subluxations occur when one or more vertebrae in the spine move out of their proper position, resulting in pressure or irritation on the spinal nerves. This can lead to pain, dysfunction, or an imbalance in normal body function. Various factors, such as physical trauma, stress, or toxins, can cause subluxations. Our chiropractic care focuses on correcting subluxations through precise adjustments, which restore proper alignment and nerve function.
Activities Benefiting from Our Treatment
