Back Pain and You

Whether it’s related to a job, sport, or automobile accident, roughly 80 percent of Americans will experience some type of back problem within their lifetime.

With so many opportunities to hurt yourself, unfortunately it only takes one injury to significantly affect your quality of life and disrupt daily activities, including sleep.

At Cornejo Chiropractic, we pride ourselves on being a wellness business that Tyler area residents rely on. Our chiropractors specialize in lower back pain treatment, sciatica, and disc herniation and use various approaches that treat and heal.

Cornejo Chiropractic provides services that focus on neck and back pain such as whiplash, spinal cord injuries, backaches, and headaches by using preventative medicine and customizing a treatment plan for individual needs.

Not only do we offer state-of-the-art chiropractic care, but my staff works with new patients to help reduce stress surrounding the complicated and lengthy claims process associated with auto-related injuries.

For individuals involved in motor vehicle accidents, patients can be symptomatic for several months and even years following a crash.

Those who’ve just survived an auto injury accident are often left vulnerable to hungry accident attorneys and desperate for guidance on the best course of action. We understand that what you need during this time are care and compassion.

This is why we focus on finding the root of the problem instead of just masking the pain with dangerous prescription pills.

The chiropractic care that patients receive at Cornejo Chiropractic corrects the joints and take the pressure off the nerves more quickly.

When we do an adjustment, we point out what’s going on, what needs to be done and provide a holistic plan of action.

We also don’t hide anything. Our practice is transparent because we want our patients to be informed and not only understand our process but become active participants in their solution.

On day 1 we do an exam and consultation and on day 2 we focus on the X-rays. Our expert team explains to patients what’s wrong with them and how we’re going to fix them. Common back-related injuries include muscle and ligament strain, herniated discs, and sciatica pain caused by soft-tissue damage and mechanical issues.

These injuries can harm the back’s intervertebral discs, compress nerve roots and cause regular improper spinal joint movements. Your back has a series of jelly-like lumbar discs, which support your spinal column. However, when its outer layer ruptures, it causes inflammation and nerve root pain.

Nerve pain in the leg is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. Sciatica often originates within the lower back—radiating down the leg. Both wear-and-tear and direct injuries can result in sciatic nerve damage.

We use physical therapy to do a close examination of the patient’s spine and determine improper alignment issues, underlying injuries, or musculoskeletal problems.

If you’re experiencing pain caused by lower back pain, sciatica and herniated discs know that you’re not alone.
