For those who suffer from chronic headaches and back pain, the road to finding lasting pain relief can be long and miserable. Many of our first-time patients suffered for years, relying on medications and sometimes surgery, only to have the pain continue, and even worsen. Sometimes, they have been told they would just have to endure the pain for the rest of their lives. Luckily, those patients who finally found our practice were able to find long-sought after relief through our highly-skilled chiropractic care methods.

Back and Head Pain Treated with Chiropractic Care

Our Durham and Raleigh back pain treatments can give patients a new lease on life because our pain management methods aim to treat the root cause of back and headache pain, rather than just masking them with medications. We give each patient a complete examination, including x-rays, to conclusively determine where the problem lies.

As a chiropractor, Dr. Leidich understands how the precise alignment of each vertebra affects the function of the nervous system in every area of the body. For instance, a misalignment between neck vertebrae can cause headache and migraine events. Correcting the misalignment can significantly reduce and even eliminate these painful episodes. Misalignments can also cause pain in the back, legs, arms, neck or anywhere in the body affected by nerves pinched by misaligned vertebrae.

Once we determine where the problem is, we prescribe a series of gentle, precise spinal adjustments to realign the spine and un-pinch nerves. Many patients achieve significant pain relief after the first or second adjustment appointments. We help prevent the problem from recurring by teaching our patients proper posture and corrective exercises that are designed to strengthen muscles and support the proper alignment of the spine. Our goal is to make sure the pain does not return so that our patients can go on to live healthy, pain-free lives.
