Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care, and it can range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain that affects every part of your daily routine. Whether caused by injury, poor posture, muscle strain, or underlying spinal issues, back pain often signals that your spine and surrounding muscles need expert care.
At Lakewood Injury Chiropractic, Dr. Brian Wilmovsky and our team bring over 20 years of experience helping patients in Lakewood recover from back pain through safe, effective chiropractic treatments tailored to each individual’s needs.
Understanding Back Pain
Back pain can arise from many factors, including herniated or bulging discs, muscle spasms, spinal misalignment, or repetitive stress. Symptoms might include sharp pain, stiffness, numbness, or difficulty bending and moving comfortably. Because the back supports much of your body’s weight and movement, even minor imbalances can quickly lead to chronic issues if left untreated.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Back Pain
Your journey to relief begins with a comprehensive evaluation. We take a detailed history of your pain, perform a physical exam, and may use digital X-rays to identify any misalignments or underlying conditions.
Dr. Wilmovsky develops a personalized treatment plan using chiropractic adjustments designed to realign the spine, relieve nerve pressure, and relax tight muscles. Additional therapies such as soft tissue work and targeted exercises help improve flexibility, strengthen supportive muscles, and prevent future injury.
Our approach focuses on addressing the root cause of your pain rather than simply masking symptoms, promoting long-term healing and improved function.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I expect relief after chiropractic treatment for back pain?
Many people begin to feel some relief within the first few visits, especially if the pain is mild or posture-related. For more complex cases, like disc issues or chronic tension, noticeable improvement may take a few weeks. The key is consistency with your recommended treatment plan.
How many chiropractic visits will I need for back pain?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some patients respond well after just a few sessions, while others need care over several weeks to fully resolve deeper spinal or muscular issues. During your first visit, we’ll create a plan that fits your condition and recovery goals.
Is chiropractic care safe for treating back pain?
Yes, when performed by a licensed professional, chiropractic care is considered a safe and effective option for many types of back pain. You might feel a bit sore after your first few adjustments, similar to how you’d feel after a good workout, but that usually fades quickly.
Can a chiropractor help me avoid back surgery?
In many cases, yes. Chiropractic care focuses on relieving pressure in the spine, improving mobility, and encouraging your body to heal naturally. For people dealing with disc issues or chronic inflammation, chiropractic treatment can be a smart first step before considering surgery.
What kind of back pain can a chiropractor treat?
Chiropractors treat a wide range of back issues, from muscle tension and posture problems to disc-related conditions like herniations or sciatica. If your back pain is related to the spine, nerves, or surrounding muscles, we’ll work to find the root cause and create a plan that fits you.
