Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a doctor, second only to cold and flu. It can make everyday tasks feel impossible — but you don’t have to live with it. At Palatine Family Chiropractic, we identify the root cause of your discomfort and provide targeted chiropractic care that relieves pain, restores movement, and helps you get back to living life on your terms.
Lasting Relief from Back Pain Starts Here
How do we Help with Back Pain?
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. Whether it’s caused by poor posture, injury, spinal misalignment, or muscle tension, our goal is to find the source of the problem and correct it — not just mask the symptoms.
We focus on restoring healthy spinal function so your body can heal naturally.
How It Works
We begin with a full evaluation of your spine, posture, and movement patterns. Digital X-rays may be used to get a clearer view of what’s going on beneath the surface. Based on your condition, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and mobility work — all designed to relieve pressure, reduce inflammation, and improve stability.
Why It’s Effective
Chiropractic care addresses one of the most common sources of back pain: restricted movement and poor alignment in the spine. By correcting these imbalances, we relieve pressure on the nerves, reduce tension in surrounding muscles, and help your body move the way it was meant to.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes most back pain?
Back pain is often caused by poor posture, spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or injury. Chiropractic care is designed to address all of these factors at their source.
Do I need imaging before starting treatment?
Not always. In many cases, a hands-on evaluation is enough. However, if we suspect structural issues, we may recommend digital X-rays, which we perform in-house.
Is chiropractic care safe for back pain?
Yes. It’s a safe, non-invasive approach backed by decades of research and clinical results. We tailor care to your body and comfort level.
How soon will I feel better?
Many patients feel relief within the first few visits, while others need a longer treatment plan depending on the severity and cause of the pain.
