At Denali Injury and Spine Center, our goal is to treat the underlying cause of your low back pain. We don’t use prescription painkillers to offer temporary back pain relief. Instead, we design a personalized back pain treatment plan that will help you return to living a healthy, pain-free life. Here is a look at how we treat low back pain in Anchorage, AK with chiropractic care.

What Is Causing Your Low Back Pain?

When you visit us for a consultation for low back pain, we will perform a comprehensive physical examination. We will also ask you about your habits, lifestyle, work routine, and health history. We will assess your posture, reflexes, strength, and range of motion. We can also take an x-ray to see if you have an underlying injury or spinal condition. All of this information will help us design your treatment plan.

Personalized Low Back Pain Treatment

We will design a personalized low back pain treatment plan that addresses the underlying cause of your back pain. Your treatment plan will relieve pain, improve mobility and flexibility, build core strength, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and help you get back to your normal routine.

Chiropractic Adjustments for Back Pain Relief

During chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Kyle Hanford will use his hands or an instrument to manually adjust your spine. This shifts your spine back into alignment, relieving pressure on your muscles, nerves, and soft tissues. Chiropractic adjustments also stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and relieve pain and inflammation.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression therapy is a nonsurgical treatment option for low back pain and sciatica due to herniated disc, arthritis of the spine, age-related disc degeneration, bone spur, or other spinal conditions. During treatment, Dr. Hanford will use gentle motorized traction to stretch your spine back into alignment, relieving stress, pain, and pressure.

Myofascial Release Therapy

Myofascial release therapy is a specialized form of massage that targets and breaks apart painful knots in your fascia. These tender knots form near muscles and can cause sharp or shooting pain, muscle spasms, and twitching.
