When Low Back Pain Isn’t “Just Back Pain”

Low back pain is often caused by more than one issue happening at once. A joint may not be moving properly. Muscles may be tight and inflamed. A disc may be irritated or protruding and. nerves can become compressed or sensitive. And in many cases, the body adapts by compensating—creating even more tension, imbalance, and pain.
That’s why a one-size-fits-all solution rarely works long-term.

Common low back pain causes we see include:

Muscle strain and repetitive overuse
Joint restriction or misalignment in the lumbar spine and pelvis
Disc irritation (including bulging or herniated discs)
Sciatica or nerve-related pain into the hip/leg
Facet joint inflammation
Postural stress from sitting, driving, or desk work
Old injuries from sports, slips, falls, or auto accidents

Common Low Back Pain Symptoms

Low back pain can look very different depending on what’s causing it. You might notice:

Aching or stiffness across the lower back
Sharp pain when bending, twisting, or standing up
Pain after sitting too long
Pain that improves with movement (or worsens with movement)
Tightness in hips, glutes, hamstrings
Pain traveling into the buttocks or down the leg (sciatica)
Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg or foot

If your pain is recurring, worsening, or limiting your daily life, it’s important to get evaluated so you’re not guessing at the cause and a proper diagnosis can be made..

How Active Life Wellness Treats Low Back Pain

At Active Life Wellness, we don’t simply chase symptoms—we look for why the low back is irritated and what keeps triggering it. Your care plan is based on your specific condition, your history, and how your body is functioning right now.

Step 1: Identify the Root Cause

We start by listening carefully to what you’re experiencing, then performing a detailed evaluation. Depending on your case, this may include orthopedic testing, neurological assessment, and hands-on examination. If clinically appropriate, imaging (such as X-rays) may be recommended.

Step 2: Reduce Pain + Inflammation Quickly

Low back pain often involves inflammation and irritated tissues. That’s where our Class IV Regenerative Medical Laser™ can be a major advantage. This technology is designed to support healing at the cellular level—helping bring oxygen and nutrients into injured tissue and speed up the body’s natural repair through a process known as photobiomodulation..

Patients often come to us because they want a modern, non-drug and non-surgical approach that can help them feel better and actually heal better without waiting months.

Step 3: Restore Proper Motion + Stability

Once pain begins calming down and the healing process is amplified, chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper joint motion and reduce nerve irritation. This matters because when a spinal segment isn’t moving well, the surrounding muscles tighten, posture shifts, and the problem tends to repeat.

We also guide you on posture habits, movement modifications, and strengthening strategies to help prevent flare-ups.

Chiropractic Techniques We May Use for Low Back Pain

People often assume chiropractic only means manual “cracking,” but in reality, there are several highly effective methods—and we match the technique to your comfort level and needs.

Depending on your condition, we may incorporate:

Thompson Technique (using a specialized table to reduce the force needed)
Activator Methods® (low-force, instrument-assisted adjustments)
Cox Flexion-Distraction (a traction-based approach designed to reduce pressure and improve mobility—especially helpful for disc-related problems)
Impulse Instrument Adjusting (fast, precise thrust with less force than manual adjustments)
In select situations, Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) may be considered (typically for complex cases when other conservative approaches haven’t been enough)

If you’ve been adjusted before and prefer a specific style, we’ll surely take that into account.

Regenerative Medical Laser™ Therapy for Low Back Pain

Laser therapy isn’t “a heat lamp” or a temporary sensation—it’s designed to support deeper tissue healing and recovery.

For low back pain, our Class IV Regenerative Medical Laser™ therapy helps to:

Reduce inflammation and swelling
Decrease pain sensitivity
Improve circulation to injured tissues
Support faster healing in acute and chronic injuries

It’s often especially helpful when low back pain involves irritated muscles, chronic inflammation, sciatica-type symptoms, or disc-related pain and discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can chiropractic help low back pain?

Yes. Chiropractic adjustments are designed to restore proper motion in restricted joints, reduce nerve irritation, and help the body function more efficiently. When paired with soft tissue and laser support, outcomes often improve even faster.

What if I don’t want manual adjustments?

That’s very common. We offer multiple low-force techniques—including instrument-assisted approaches—so care can be gentle and comfortable.

Is laser therapy safe?

Laser therapy is widely used and, in our office, is performed with advanced Class IV Regenerative Medical Laser™ technology. Many patients choose it because it supports healing without drugs or injections.

How many visits will I need?

That depends on whether your condition is acute or chronic, how long it has been going on, and what’s driving it. After your exam, we’ll outline a recommended plan.

When to Seek Help for Low Back Pain

Some back pain resolves quickly. But if your pain keeps returning or has started affecting your normal routine, don’t wait until it becomes severe.

We recommend scheduling an evaluation if:

Your pain lasts longer than 1-2 days
You’ve had recurring flare-ups
You feel pain radiating into the leg
You’re avoiding activities you love because of your back
Your sleep is disrupted due to discomfort
You want a non-drug, non-surgical plan that makes sense
