Low Back Pain Treatment in New Braunfels, TX
Low back pain is the single most common reason people walk through our doors, and one of the most over-treated with quick fixes that don't last. At Elite Chiropractic & Wellness, we look for what's actually generating the pain before we touch your spine, so your treatment plan addresses the cause, not just today's flare-up.
What's Behind Your Low Back Pain?
Low back pain rarely has one clean cause. The most common contributors we see in New Braunfels patients:
-
Disc bulges or herniations putting pressure on nearby nerves
-
Facet joint irritation from repetitive movement or poor mechanics
-
Muscle strain from lifting, overuse, or sudden movement
-
Prolonged sitting that weakens supporting musculature over time
-
Pelvic or hip misalignment that changes how the lower back bears load
The pain pattern itself is often diagnostic — sharp pain with movement points somewhere different than a dull ache that builds throughout the day.
How We Approach Treatment
Your first visit includes a thorough exam to identify exactly what's driving your symptoms, not just where they show up. From there, care typically combines:
-
Spinal adjustments to restore joint mobility and relieve nerve pressure
-
Soft tissue therapy for the muscles compensating around the injury
-
Core and hip strengthening to address the stability deficits that let low back pain become chronic
-
Activity modification guidance specific to your work and daily demands
Most patients notice real improvement within the first few weeks — but the second phase of care, building the strength that prevents recurrence, is what keeps people pain-free long-term.
