Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best treatment for lower back pain?
The best treatment depends on the cause, but guidelines favor nondrug options first. The American College of Physicians recommends options such as heat, massage, acupuncture, spinal manipulation, and exercise before medication. Our team combines several of these into a plan that fits your needs.
Is a chiropractor or a physical therapist better for back pain?
Both can help, and the right choice depends on your symptoms and preferences. A chiropractor focuses on joint movement and adjustments, while a physical therapist focuses on exercise and rehabilitation. We combine gentle adjustments with home exercises and will refer you to another provider if you need one.
Can cold laser therapy or acupuncture help back pain?
They may help some people. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) reports that acupuncture gives moderate relief for chronic back pain(opens in a new tab), while evidence for laser therapy is still low quality. We use both as options alongside other care.
How long does it take to feel better from back pain?
Many back pain episodes improve within weeks, but chronic pain can take longer. Some people feel easier movement after a few visits. Dr. Meier sets realistic goals at your first visit and rechecks them as you go, so you always know how your care is progressing.
