Who We Help

Three kinds of back pain. One real fix.

Back pain doesn’t look the same on everyone. Whether yours started yesterday or years ago, here’s how we approach the most common cases that walk through our door.

Acute Pain
Sudden, sharp, recent.
A twist in the yard, a bad night’s sleep, lifting something the wrong way. We move quickly to identify the cause and start correction before it settles into something chronic.
Chronic Pain
Months or years deep.
Pain you’ve started planning your life around. Often the result of years of compensating for an underlying issue that nobody’s actually addressed. We find what’s driving it — and treat the cause, not the cycle.
Activity & Life-Stage
From desks, training, or pregnancy.
Long workdays at a screen, training for a race, lifting toddlers, recovering postpartum. The demands change with the life stage — the care plan adjusts to match.

Why Choose Us

Two specialized tools. One precise diagnosis.

Most chiropractors take a manual approach to back pain — the same twisting and cracking applied to every patient. We work differently. After a full nervous system scan and digital X-rays, we use Torque Release Technique to make precise, instrument-based adjustments that correct the underlying cause without forceful manipulation.

For back pain driven by disc compression, sciatic nerve irritation, or degenerative changes that imaging confirms, we add non-surgical spinal decompression to the plan. It’s a gentle therapy that decompresses the spine over time, reducing pressure on discs and nerves so the body can heal — often as a real alternative to surgery.

Spinal Decompression Is Ideal For
Back pain rooted in discs, nerves, or degeneration.
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Sciatica & radiating leg pain
  • Chronic low back pain
  • Degenerative disc conditions
  • Pinched nerves
  • Numbness or weakness

Back & Hip Pain

Avoided Surgery
★★★★★

“I was considering back surgery before I went to Dr. Thor. I haven’t had to have surgery and am living without back pain. Thank you Dr. Thor for your help. Added bonus — the staff is professional and scheduling is easy.”

Neck & Low Back
★★★★★

“My husband, two kids and I all go. I had a lot of neck and low back pain. I have seen several chiropractors over the past 10 years and really never had relief until now. I’m grateful we found Authority Chiropractic!”

Back Pain FAQs

Common questions about back pain.

That’s exactly what your first visit is for. Some back pain is muscular, some is disc-related, some is neurological — and the right treatment looks different for each. We start with a full health history, a physical exam, on-site nervous system scanning, and digital X-rays. From there, we tell you straight: chiropractic, decompression, both, or a referral elsewhere if you’d be better served somewhere else.
It varies. Some patients with acute back pain feel a difference after the first or second adjustment. Chronic back pain that’s been around for years usually takes a few weeks of consistent care before things shift — the body has adapted to the pain pattern, and unwinding that takes time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at your first visit based on your scans, not vague promises.
For many patients, yes — especially when the underlying issue is disc-related or neurological. We’ve worked with patients who were told surgery was the next step, and through a combination of TRT adjustments and non-surgical spinal decompression, they’ve been able to avoid the operating room entirely. We can’t promise that for every case — some structural issues genuinely require surgical intervention — but if there’s a non-surgical path, we’ll find it.
TRT is instrument-based, not manual — no twisting, no cracking, no forceful manipulation. For back pain especially, that matters: you can adjust the spine precisely without putting more stress on already-irritated muscles, joints, or nerves. The Integrator delivers a measured impulse to the exact spot that needs it, which is why so many of our patients say it’s the first chiropractic care that actually worked for them after years of trying others.
Yes. Pregnancy-related back pain is one of the most common reasons expectant moms come to us. TRT is one of the gentlest techniques in chiropractic — safe in every trimester, no twisting, no pressure on the abdomen. Many of our prenatal patients first came in for back pain and stayed with us through delivery and beyond. (For broader prenatal care, our prenatal chiropractic page has the full picture.)
