LOW BACK OR NECK PAIN:

LOW BACK OR NECK PAIN:  Low back and neck pain are the two most common pain issues seen in the office.  The key to helping neck or low back pain is to identify three things: 1) the specific nerves affecting the pain, 2) whether there is a muscle imbalance causing chronic over use of muscles with daily activity, 3) if there are some damaged or degenerated tissues (discs or ligaments).  The vast majority of these are nerve dysfuntion followed by muscle imbalances or both together.  Degeneration and disc issues are more common with age.  Typically, pain is reduced or eliminated rapidly and correcting the muscle imbalances gives lasting results.  Dr. Pierce's expertise with sports injuries and spinal rehabilitation are key factors for his results.
