Treatments for Back Injuries with our Chiropractor in Lincoln

Our chiropractor in Lincoln can help you find relief for your back pain with chiropractic care.  Your treatment program will be tailored to your specific injury and your overall health goals after our chiropractor performs a complete physical evaluation that may include a referral to receive digital images of your spine.  Common treatment options include chiropractic or spinal adjustments, cold laser treatments, corrective exercises and lifestyle advice. 

  • Spinal Adjustments - Spinal adjustments help heal subluxations and can reduce pain and help heal herniated discs, sciatica, and pinched nerves.
  • Cold Laser Therapy - Cold laser therapy is used to heal soft tissue injuries, like sprains and strains, and reduce muscle pain while stimulating the injured area to heal on a cellular level. 
  • Lifestyle Advice - While you heal, our chiropractor may recommend safer ways to perform everyday tasks so that you do not reinjure your back while it is healing. 

Corrective Exercises and Stretches

Once you start feeling better, we may recommend corrective exercises and stretches to help improve your muscle strength and flexibility to give you the best possible outcome.
