Low Back Pain

Get Pain off the Brain

When you have Low Back Pain, it can take over your world. It’s intrusive, and it can feel like it’s robbing you of your life, your hobbies and often abilities.

Low back pain is especially difficult to cope with, and we understand that when you are in pain it is hard to focus on much else – this can lead to further anxiety and depression when paired with a loss of ability and physical activity.

Constantly worrying about if your pain will return or increase, thinking about the intensity or severity of your pain, and feeling desperate about the future are worries we aim to eliminate as we lower your overall lower back pain level, increase your physical abilities and prevent future incidences of pain.

When you’re experiencing lower back pain it may often feel like you’re losing the same battle monthly, weekly, daily or even hourly.

When lower back pain is at its’ highest, every minute seems to last forever, and your days and activities are at the complete mercy of your pain.

Lower back pain can be muscular, skeletal or neurological; the three types of pain are not mutually exclusive, and often tend to intersect and amplify pain levels.

At Core 1 Chiropractic, we understand each patient’s case is unique, and we tailor our care program to lower and eliminate lower back pain.

Stop waiting for your pain to let you sleep, shower or live your life. Schedule a consultation with us today to start getting your pain levels back on track.

Modern Diagnostic and Treatment Methods

Dr. Josh (Your Downers Grove Chiropractor) and his team are trained to treat, decrease and eliminate low back pain by using the most modern and comprehensive diagnostic and treatment methods – all are non-intrusive, painless and gentle on the patient.

Diagnosing low back pain is complex, requiring an in-depth understanding of the musculoskeletal and neurological systems and how they interact.

Treatments may comprise: chiropractic manipulations, prescriptive exercise, orthopedic assessment, manual therapy, postural training, neuromuscular re-education and massage therapy – we understand this may sound overwhelming, but each program is designed specifically for the individual patient, so they are challenged but comfortable.

Our goal is to decrease pain and encourage the recuperation of physical comfort and ability while developing healthy habits to avoid further pain and injury.

Because of this team approach to patient fitness, our patients feel supported while working with Core 1 Chiropractic, the best chiropractic office in Downers Grove, Illinois.

Non-Invasive & Non-Surgical

At Core 1 Chiropractic, our whole team is committed to the same philosophy: to help patients regain free movement without pain, without surgery.

When you’re suffering from lower back pain and are willing to do anything to resolve it, surgery may seem like a viable option – however, surgery should always be the last choice made because of the risks involved and the host of side-effects, including secondary pain.

By decreasing pain without invasive procedures, Dr. Josh and his team aim to reduce the necessity of surgical procedures and prescription painkillers required for low back pain.

Schedule your appointment today if you are experiencing lower back pain, or considering surgery for lower back pain, and see how we can work together to achieve lower pain levels and increase mobility.

Fixing the Support System

The skeletal system supports the whole body, all day, with very little respite.

When there is an injury to the lower back, that support system is unable to function properly; this can result in pain and improper posturing to compensate for pain.

The muscle system allows for movement, and when the lower back is experiencing pain in one location, our muscles will often brace and clench for extended amounts of time to try and protect the injured area.

This compensation often results in secondary pain instances arising from the misalignment of the spine, misused muscles, and poor posturing to try and relieve pain.

Dr. Josh and his team are highly trained to treat not only your low back pain symptoms, but also the root cause of the pain, and any compensational areas of pain.

This whole-body approach to low back pain management helps patients attain fitness goals, regain physical abilities and reduce their lower back & overall pain levels.

By treating the core problem, we ensure the musculoskeletal system is working in tandem to properly support the body and ensure proper movement without pain or future incidence of injury.

Instead of treating the symptom, schedule an evaluation with Dr. Josh and his team, and heal the root of the problem.
