Help with back pain starts with understanding it
Lower back pain can change how you sit, lift, walk, and sleep. At your visit, explain when the discomfort started, where you notice it, and what you have already tried. Your history and evaluation help guide the conversation about next steps.
Bring existing imaging reports or recommendations from other clinicians if you have them. A treatment choice should follow an evaluation of your individual situation.
Chiropractic care, soft-tissue work, and movement
Dr. Grant provides chiropractic care, soft-tissue therapy, and rehabilitation at Ascent. Depending on your evaluation, your plan may involve hands-on treatment, exercises, or practical changes to the activities that bother you.
Spinal manipulation is one of several options for some types of low-back pain. NCCIH describes potential improvements in pain and function as generally modest. Discuss the benefits, risks, and alternatives with Dr. Grant.
Back pain or sciatica?
If you also have pain traveling into a leg, describe that clearly when you contact the clinic. Explore our sciatica and disc-concern pages for related information, and ask which evaluation fits your symptoms.

Describe the tasks that back pain interrupts
Tell us whether sitting, standing, lifting, walking, or sleep is most affected. Note when symptoms began, whether pain travels into a leg, and what you have tried. This helps focus the evaluation on your daily function.
What should a back-pain plan explain?
Ask why each proposed treatment is appropriate, what you can do between visits, and how improvement will be assessed. Discuss changes in movement tolerance as well as pain.
When back pain needs urgent medical attention
New bladder or bowel changes, numbness around the groin, or severe or worsening weakness in both legs need emergency assessment rather than a routine appointment.
