Yes. Neck and Back Pain is in Cornerstone Chiropractic Center’s conditions list, along with Degenerative Disc Disease, which is a frequent contributor to recurring back pain.
Conditions addressed
Back Pain in Virginia Beach.
From a stiff lower back after sitting to a strain that stops you mid-lift, back pain is the classic reason people first visit a chiropractor.
What it is
Understanding back pain.
Most back pain involves the joints, discs, and muscles of the lumbar spine. It can build slowly from posture and repetitive load, or start suddenly with a lift or twist. Degenerative disc disease — also in the practice’s conditions list — can make the spine less tolerant of everyday stress as the discs lose height over time.
How it shows up
Common presentations.
Patterns patients describe when they call about back pain.
- A dull ache or stiffness across the lower back, worse after sitting
- Sharp pain with bending, lifting, or twisting
- Muscle spasm that guards every movement
- Pain that radiates into the buttock, hip, or thigh
- Recurring flare-ups of the same old problem
The office approach
How Dr. Bresnahan approaches it.
After an examination to find the source, care draws on the practice’s listed techniques: spinal adjustments for restricted joints, spinal decompression when disc involvement is suspected, and soft tissue methods — Active Release Technique, Graston Technique, dry needling — for the muscles that tighten around the problem.
Back pain with loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the saddle area, progressive leg weakness, fever, or unexplained weight loss is a medical matter first — seek medical care promptly. Tell the office about any of these when you call.
