Chiropractic Care for Back Pain
Back pain can interfere with daily life, from work and sleep to movement and mood. It may start with a minor ache or show up suddenly after an accident, but it often stems from a deeper issue within the spine. Many cases are connected to spinal ligament injuries, which are the number one cause of chronic back pain, especially when left undiagnosed.
Epic Life Chiropractic in Wauwatosa takes a different approach. Led by Dr. Jeff Grosskopf, our clinic focuses on the root of the problem instead of chasing symptoms. Using advanced technology, precise imaging, and neurologically based care, we offer long-term solutions that help patients heal and stay active without relying on medication or surgery.
Our Back Pain Treatment Approach
Epic Life Chiropractic is known for a care model built on precision, comfort, and results. We specialize in identifying hidden spinal injuries that often go overlooked and treating them through non-invasive methods that promote true healing. Our most commonly used technique is the Torque Release Technique, supported by MyoVision scanning and digital motion X-rays.
Torque Release Technique (TRT)
Accurate and Gentle
TRT uses the Integrator, a handheld instrument that delivers a controlled adjustment with pinpoint accuracy. It allows for comfortable care without twisting or cracking the spine.
Targets Nervous System Function
The nervous system controls nearly every function in the body. TRT supports nerve communication by correcting spinal subluxations and improving spinal alignment, which reduces stress and helps the body heal.
Safe for All Ages
This technique is ideal for those who want safe and gentle care. Patients of all ages, including pregnant women and children, benefit from its precision and light touch.
Effective for Chronic and Acute Pain
TRT is especially effective for back pain linked to herniated discs, sciatica, spinal instability, and long-term discomfort from previous injuries.
MyoVision Scanning: Pinpointing What Others Miss
MyoVision scanning is one of the most important tools we use to find what other providers often overlook. It works by measuring the electrical activity of spinal muscles. When your body is compensating for a spinal ligament injury or misalignment, the surrounding muscles react by tensing or fatiguing. MyoVision helps us document these patterns and see the effects of nerve interference in real time.
This scan gives us a baseline for your spinal health and shows how your body responds to chiropractic care over time. It is non-invasive, safe for all ages, and often provides answers when traditional tests come up short.
Causes of Back Pain
Back pain is often triggered by poor posture, lifting strain, spinal misalignments, or even car accidents. But in many cases, the real problem lies in damaged spinal ligaments or instability in the cervical or lumbar spine. These injuries can create nerve interference and lead to pain that spreads through the back, hips, or legs.
We identify the exact cause using motion-based X-rays and muscle scanning technology. This helps us create a care plan that is specific to your spine and tailored to how your body responds.
Back Pain Conditions We Treat
Lower Back Pain
This is one of the most common concerns we see. It often results from ligament sprains, disc pressure, or poor movement patterns. Our chiropractic adjustments work to restore function and reduce inflammation.
Sciatica
Pain from the sciatic nerve can travel down the leg and create numbness or weakness. We focus on realigning the spine and relieving pressure where the nerve is irritated.
Herniated Discs
A disc can press on nerves when the outer layer weakens or tears. We use gentle adjustments to reduce that pressure and help the disc return to a healthier position.
Scoliosis
This abnormal spinal curve may cause stiffness and discomfort. Our goal is to improve alignment and manage discomfort through specific chiropractic adjustments and support exercises.
Spinal Stenosis
When the spinal canal narrows, nerves can get compressed. We use targeted adjustments to improve mobility and ease symptoms linked to this condition.
Disc Bulges
Bulging discs are similar to herniations but involve less disc material moving out of place. Chiropractic care can relieve the tension and restore better motion and alignment.
Vertebral Subluxations
A subluxation occurs when a spinal bone shifts slightly out of place and places stress on nearby nerves. These misalignments are often tied to headaches, fatigue, and chronic pain. We correct them with gentle, precise adjustments.
Activities Benefiting from Our Treatment
Back pain can interfere with more than just exercise. We care for patients who spend hours at a desk, drive for work, lift heavy equipment, or chase after their kids. Chiropractic adjustments improve flexibility, balance, and movement for people in all walks of life.
