Back Pain Treatment
In Dallas, TX
Care for low back pain, sciatica and disc problems that can bring relief without relying on painkillers.
Why Back Pain Starts,
And Why It Lingers
Back pain is common, and you and your loved ones will likely feel it at some point in life.
Who is more at risk
A physically intensive job, an active lifestyle or playing sports can raise your risk. Poor posture, prolonged sitting and even stress can contribute too.
Why rest is not always enough
Pains that do not heal with rest are often a sign the spine has been knocked out of proper alignment. Left that way, muscle strain and other issues can become constant.
How discs and nerves get involved
Discs sit between the vertebrae as shock absorbers. An injury or the wear of aging can make a disc bulge or herniate and press on a nerve, sending pain into the buttocks and legs.

When to Get
Back Pain Checked
Call the office when back pain lingers or spreads. An exam can find what is causing it.
When rest is not helping
If your back pain does not heal with rest, the spine may be out of proper alignment. An exam can find the cause before muscle strain becomes constant.
When pain spreads to your legs
Sharp or burning pain, numbness, tingling or weakness in the buttocks or legs can mean a nerve is irritated or compressed. Have it checked soon.
After an accident or injury
Backaches are common after a car accident or another injury. Have your back checked promptly, and in an emergency, call 911.
Why See a Chiropractor
For Back Pain
Dr. Currington looks for what is behind your pain and helps you build a lasting treatment plan.
Relief that can last
Pain medication can give temporary relief, but the pain often returns, and it may be more intense. Chiropractic care can often deliver lasting results without more invasive interventions.
Several ways to treat it
Dr. Currington draws on chiropractic manipulation, spinal decompression, physical rehab, dry needling and massage, matched to what your exam finds.
A non-invasive option
Surgery can be risky, expensive and slow to recover from. Chiropractic care can ease pressure on discs and nerves and may help you get back to a normal routine.
