What Causes Low Back Pain?
Low back pain develops for many different reasons, and effective care begins with understanding your symptoms and identifying factors that may be contributing to the problem.
Common causes and contributing factors include:
Muscle strains and ligament injuries
Disc irritation or herniated discs
Joint restriction
Prolonged sitting
Repetitive lifting
Sports injuries
Poor movement habits
Core weakness
Limited hip mobility
Changes in activity or training volume
Because every patient is different, your evaluation focuses on determining which factors may be contributing to your symptoms before treatment begins.
When Should You See a Chiropractor for Low Back Pain?
If your back pain is affecting your daily life, an evaluation can help determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and whether conservative chiropractic care is appropriate.
Consider scheduling an evaluation if you have:
Low back pain that is not improving
Pain when bending or lifting
Recurring flare-ups
Morning stiffness
Difficulty exercising
Pain after golfing, running, or other activities
Pain that limits work or daily activities
Back pain that continues to return despite rest or stretching
If your pain travels into your buttock or leg, you may also be experiencing sciatica.

When Back Pain May Need Medical Evaluation
Chiropractic care is not appropriate for every cause of back pain. If your symptoms suggest a condition requiring additional medical evaluation, we'll discuss the appropriate next step with you.
Seek prompt medical attention for concerning symptoms such as new loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin or saddle area, significant or progressive weakness, severe pain following major trauma, or other symptoms that may indicate a more serious condition.
Our goal is to provide appropriate care—not to treat every condition with chiropractic care.
How We Treat Low Back Pain
Our goal is to reduce pain while restoring movement and helping you return to the activities you enjoy.
Treatment is based on your symptoms, examination findings, goals, and response to care. Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include:
Chiropractic Adjustments
When appropriate, spinal adjustments can help improve joint motion and reduce stiffness associated with certain types of mechanical low back pain.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Targeted soft tissue techniques may help reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and address areas of muscular or connective-tissue restriction.
Corrective Exercises
Specific home exercises can help improve mobility, build strength, and support your recovery between visits.
Movement & Posture Education
We'll help identify movement habits or activity demands that may be contributing to your symptoms and provide practical strategies for work, exercise, and everyday activities.
Our Approach Is Individualized
Not every patient needs the same treatment or the same number of visits. Your plan is based on your condition, goals, progress, and response to care.
Our objective is to help you make meaningful progress without unnecessary visits or a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.

What to Expect During Your First Visit
Your first appointment begins with a thorough consultation and examination to better understand your symptoms and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate.

How your pain started

Your daily activities
Previous injuries
Your exercise and activity level
Your goals for treatment
After your examination, we'll explain our findings, discuss your options, and outline an individualized treatment plan when appropriate.

What If I've Already Tried Stretching, Rest, or Other Treatment?
If your low back pain keeps returning despite stretching, rest, exercise, medication, or previous treatment, it may be helpful to take a closer look at the factors contributing to the problem.
Your evaluation can consider movement, mobility, strength, activity demands, previous injuries, and other relevant factors. From there, we'll determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate and explain the next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can chiropractic care help low back pain?
Many cases of mechanical low back pain can respond well to conservative chiropractic care, particularly when symptoms are associated with joint dysfunction, muscle tension, or movement restrictions. Your examination helps determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your situation.
How many visits will I need?
Every patient is different. The appropriate frequency and duration of care depend on your condition, goals, progress, and response to treatment. We do not believe every patient needs the same number of visits.
Do I need X-rays?
Not always. Imaging is not necessary for every case of low back pain. If imaging appears appropriate based on your history or examination, we'll explain why and help determine the most appropriate next step.
Will chiropractic treatment hurt?
Most chiropractic treatment is comfortable, although some techniques may cause temporary soreness similar to what you might experience after exercise. We'll explain the techniques we recommend and adjust treatment based on your comfort and individual needs.
Can I continue exercising?
In many cases, yes. Staying appropriately active can be an important part of recovery. We'll recommend activity modifications and exercises based on your symptoms, goals, and current level of activity.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
Many patients can schedule directly with a chiropractor without a referral. Insurance requirements can vary, so we'll help you understand what applies to your situation.
Do you accept insurance?
Rochester Sports Chiropractic is in-network with participating insurance plans, including Excellus and MVP. Coverage and patient responsibility can vary by plan, so we recommend confirming your benefits.
What happens during my first appointment?
Your first visit includes a consultation and examination focused on understanding your symptoms and goals. We'll explain our findings and discuss whether chiropractic care is appropriate before developing an individualized treatment plan.
What if I've already seen another chiropractor?
That's okay. If your symptoms have continued or returned, we can evaluate your current condition, discuss what you've already tried, and determine whether our approach may be appropriate for your goals.
