Redefining Low Back Pain Treatment at Active Life Chiropractic: A Comprehensive Approach
At Active Life Chiropractic, we’re redefining the way low back pain is treated. As an evidence-based musculoskeletal healthcare clinic, we believe in delivering care that is thorough, individualized, and designed to get to the root of the problem—not just mask the symptoms. With longer treatment sessions, whole-person care, and a mix of modern chiropractic techniques, our goal is to help you not only recover from low back pain but to move better, stay active, and live pain-free.
Why Is Low Back Pain So Common?
Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, affecting up to 80% of adults at some point in their lives. Whether it's from sitting too long at a desk, a sports injury, or lifting something incorrectly, your low back can take a beating. The problem with traditional low back pain treatment? It often focuses on quick fixes, like medications or minimal adjustments, without addressing the underlying causes.
At Active Life Chiropractic, we believe in a holistic, multi-faceted approach to low back pain treatment that focuses on long-term results and improved function—not just symptom relief.
Our Unique Approach to Low Back Pain Treatment
Longer Treatment Sessions One of the key elements that sets us apart is the time we spend with each patient. Our longer treatment sessions allow us to dive deeper into your specific situation and address all contributing factors to your low back pain. Whether you're an active adult, a busy mom, or have a kiddo with some aches and pains, we take the time to understand your body and its unique needs.
Whole-Person Care Low back pain isn’t just about the spine. It’s about how your whole body moves, functions, and compensates. We approach care from a whole-person perspective—evaluating everything from breathing patterns and gait to daily activities and stress levels. Our aim is not just to reduce your pain but to improve how your entire body moves so that you can return to the activities you love without fear of injury.
Joint Manipulation & Chiropractic Adjustments Using evidence-based chiropractic techniques, including joint manipulation, we help improve mobility in your spine and surrounding joints. These adjustments aren’t just for athletes or weekend warriors. Joint manipulation can benefit anyone struggling with low back pain, restoring balance and improving movement patterns, allowing you to get back to your daily life faster.
Soft Tissue Treatment Alongside adjustments, we use soft tissue therapy to decrease muscle tension and abolish densification (trigger points) that may be contributing to your pain and stiffness. Soft tissue treatment helps increase local inflammation (to stimulate healing biomarkers), improve blood flow, and support faster recovery—so you feel relief from tight muscles and stubborn trigger points (knots).
Functional Rehabilitation Functional rehab exercises are where the magic happens for long-term relief. At Active Life Chiropractic, we incorporate targeted rehabilitative exercises to retrain your body to move properly. By addressing muscle imbalances, increasing strength, and improving stability, we ensure your back stays healthy and resilient. Functional rehab is key for both sports-related injuries and general low back pain. Our rehab programs are personalized, blending corrective exercises with chiropractic care to make sure you return to the activities you love pain-free.

Whether you’re a runner with a nagging injury, a mom carrying toddlers all day, or someone who just spends a lot of time sitting at a desk, our comprehensive approach works for everyone.
