If you suffer from back pain, especially lower back pain, you might be confused about all of your treatment options. You wonder about surgery, but you may be concerned about its effectiveness, and worry about rehabilitation and medications you may have to take while you’re recuperating. You may be interested in chiropractic therapy at Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness because you’ve heard that chiropractic manipulation can help you manage pain and is a non-invasive alternative to surgery.
When Back Pain Requires Surgery
Talking about surgery seems to go against a lot of what you may have heard about what we do at Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness, but it does happen. It’s true that one of the pillars of chiropractic care is to treat patients without invasive techniques or options that lead to other dangers such as prescription painkillers. For this reason, chiropractors often choose conservative treatment options. We usually only recommend surgery as a last resort. But sometimes patients will reach that point where the surgical option needs to be considered.
Can Chiropractic Help Anxiety?
When you think of chiropractic care, most people think about back, neck and other types of pain. And it’s true that pain management is an integral part of our practice at Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness. But there’s much more to what we do than chiropractic manipulation designed to ease pain. We’re committed to helping our patients achieve optimum health. That means we’ll discuss exercise, diet and more. We’ll also look to give you lifestyle advice. But can chiropractic care extend to helping patients feel more mentally fit? Are there elements of what we do that will help ease anxiety?
How Chiropractors Treat Sports Injuries

Exercise and sports can be an important part of a health regimen and it’s very often incorporated in our treatment at Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness. But there is a downside to all of this. Sports can result in injuries and sometimes these injuries cause chronic pain. But if this happens to you, Total Chiropractic can still help. We’re experts at treating sports injuries.
