Introduction:
Low back pain is the #1 reason people in Roanoke are missing workouts, avoiding long drives, and saying no to summer hikes on Mill Mountain. If you’re tired of stretching, resting, or relying on ice packs with no long-term relief—this post is for you.
As a chiropractor who helps active people in Roanoke get back to doing what they love, I want to share some real answers to one of the most frustrating and common problems: why your back pain won’t go away.
What Causes Most Low Back Pain?
Most people think their pain comes from one wrong movement—but the truth is, it often builds up over time from:
What starts as a small ache turns into daily stiffness, or worse, pain that radiates into the hips or legs.
Is Your Pain Inflammatory or Mechanical?
Here’s something I educate all my patients on:
👉 Inflammatory pain happens after trauma, injury, or flare-up. It’s painful in all directions and responds best to ice and anti-inflammatories.
👉 Mechanical pain is more common and happens with movement in just one direction—like bending forward or getting out of a car. It typically responds best to heat, mobility, and chiropractic care.
Why Chiropractic Care Works So Well for Back Pain
At Highland Spine and Sport, we don’t just adjust and send you on your way. We evaluate, treat, and rebuild your movement so pain doesn’t just go away—it stays away.
My approach combines:
✅ Targeted adjustments
✅ Soft tissue therapy (including dry needling and Active Release)
✅ Functional rehab to build strength and stability
✅ Education so you understand your pain and how to prevent it
