Most back problems are actually mechanical in nature, rather than disease oriented, and require a mechanical solution.
Treating Low Back Pain
Low back pain is one of the most common human maladies. It ranks with colds and the flu as one of the most usual reasons why we miss work and go to the doctor. It tops the list as the most common work injury. Estimates today claim that 75 million people suffer from back pain in the United States, and that there are 7 million new victims each year.
Most back problems are actually mechanical in nature, rather than disease oriented, and require a mechanical solution. Dr. Stark addresses the low back as a working machine. He examines ranges of motion, muscle tightness and balance, testing the nerves that flow from the lower back, and performing special tests to evaluate joint function and stability.
Dr. Stark then prescribes a program of chiropractic adjustments, exercises, and lifestyle management to correct and manage dysfunction of muscles and spinal joints. The benefits can be both immediate and lasting. Many patients with chronic conditions benefit by our multi-faceted approach.
