A lot of Alaskans suffer from low back pain, pain that radiates around their beltline, in some cases, something called sciatica where you have pain at the lower back and it goes down into the hips and legs. Lower Back Pain is something that can be very serious for particular individuals, especially because it can affect you when you’re sitting, lying down, standing, and walking. In our office, we see a lot of patients with low back pain. And depending on what’s causing that pain, we may be the solution for that patient.

The most common cause of low back pain and sciatica that we see in our office is something called subluxation. When the lumbar spine and the pelvis shift from a normal healthy alignment, that creates tension and stress on the nerves, muscles, and ligaments and also compresses the joints and discs of the spine. This creates the inflammation that you experience as pain.

If your low back pain and sciatica is related to subluxation then we’ll develop a personalized program of care to help you restore your health. This will consist of corrective care adjustments, postural rehabilitation, and home care exercises along with an array of other interventions. To get started today on your road to recovery.

The road to BACK PAIN relief

Starts Here

Millions of Americans try to live with back pain, until it becomes overwhelming suffering. It may have started off as a “tweak”, a “muscle pull”, something “tolerable” and was a sensation that you thought was not worth the extra time and effort to get checked because you were “getting by” or “working through it”. You were able to continue most of your activities initially, but then the pain became more frequent and gradually more intense while energy levels dropped, moods changed, sleep suffered, and before long you found yourself in a crisis after doing something that you’ve done a million times and should have been relatively easy – like bending to tie your shoe only to end up wincing or worse yet on the floor frozen in pain.

Back pain in Anchorage is the #1 cause of disability in people under 45 years old, and it is the most common reason for missing work or using “sick days”! Now, you may be at the point where either you want to prevent it and avoid becoming a statistic, or worse yet you currently are a statistic and are plagued by back pain or sciatica and desire to heal from it while making certain it does not strike again, but how? First, we know that many of you try to live with back pain in Anchorage, until it becomes overwhelming suffering. It may have started off as a “tweak”, a “muscle pull”, something “tolerable” and was a sensation that you thought was not worth the extra time and effort to get checked because you were “getting by” or “working through it”. You were able to continue most of your activities initially, but then the pain became more frequent and gradually more intense while energy levels dropped, moods changed, sleep suffered, and before long you found yourself in a crisis after doing something that you’ve done a million times and should have been relatively easy – like bending to tie your shoe only to end up wincing or worse yet on the floor frozen in pain.

In our office, we have found that the most dangerous words when it comes to back pain are truly, “I Think It Will Go Away”. More often that not, too many people let a weakness in their spine, posture, or body progress to needless suffering and a debilitating collapse. It frustrates them as it affects their quality of life in the ways of damaged relationships, lost productivity, depression, frustration, being confined to their bed and even developing a dependency on dangerous medications or risky surgeries. Others have had their pain come on suddenly like after hearing a “pop” in the gym while deadlifting and other sports-related injuries, or after a motor vehicle collision, and even when falling off a ladder while working outside or being ejected from a snow machine after misjudging the terrain.

Some people unaware of a better solution, may have tried pain pills, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatories even sneaking extra ones on “bad days” to attempt “take the edge off” while inadvertently fueling a concerning and growing epidemic of pharmaceutical abuse in this country today. Others may have had surgery in hopes of getting help but now are stuck paying off the portion not covered by their insurance carrier leading to more stress and longer recovery. In the end, the people in both circumstances still find themselves in pain and frustration because they were actually not deficient in medications and were not good candidates after all to get cut. In addition, physical therapy, acupuncture, cortisone, new pillows, a different mattress and special cushions or machines from a late night infomercial were unable to even take the edge off in the least.

The physical and emotional toll of chronic unrelenting back pain not only affects you, but it is silently affecting your loved ones, your friends, your family, and your career. At Whole Family Chiropractic, we know that back pain can have serious detrimental effects on adults and kids. We also understand that the major contributing factors to the development of pain are thoughts, traumas, and toxins. Over the past few years, the top reasons that patients acquired pain in their low back area were related to: Auto Accidents, Sports Injuries, Sitting at a desk for prolonged periods, lifting heavy boxes (like the ones at Costco), driving too many miles, falls, playing with kids, overdoing it at the gym, work-related injuries, and poor postural habits.

All of these triggers of back pain have one thing in common – the spine, and the small and delicate nerves that branch out from it. When you experience a trauma that shifts the spine even a millimeter or two out of alignment, relentless pain and discomfort are the most common result. Our advanced trained chiropractic team has successfully helped thousands find relief from their pain by specifically realigning the spine gradually and systematically through what is called “CBP Corrective Chiropractic Care” – a highly-specialized and research-based technique that only a handful of chiropractors throughout the world practice. And guess what – our office is part of that handful.

Through non-invasive and painless corrective chiropractic care, our Whole Family Chiropractic Team will help you to get your spinal misalignments corrected, take pressure off of your delicate nerves, and allow your back, spine, posture and body to heal.

The results are often nothing less than phenomenal and life-changing.
