Lasting Relief from Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care — and one of the most treatable. Dr. David W. Polley, DC offers gentle, effective care to relieve pain, restore mobility, and help you get back to the life you love.
Understanding Back Pain
Back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to sudden, sharp pain that makes it hard to move. It may stem from muscle strain, poor posture, spinal misalignment, disc problems, or the wear and tear of daily life. Whatever the cause, ignoring it often leads to bigger problems down the road.
How We Address the Root Cause
Instead of simply masking pain, chiropractic care targets the underlying spinal misalignments and muscle imbalances behind your discomfort. Through gentle adjustments and therapeutic massage, Dr. Polley helps relieve pressure, reduce inflammation, and restore healthy movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a chiropractor for back pain?
If your back pain lasts more than a few days, keeps returning, or interferes with daily activities, it's worth seeing a chiropractor. Early care often prevents minor issues from becoming chronic problems.
Is chiropractic care effective for lower back pain?
Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the most well-established, non-invasive approaches for lower back pain. Gentle adjustments address the root cause rather than just masking symptoms with medication.
Will the adjustment hurt?
Most patients find adjustments comfortable and often feel immediate relief. Dr. Polley tailors each adjustment to your comfort level and specific condition, and offers gentle techniques for sensitive patients.
How many visits will I need for back pain?
It depends on the cause and severity of your pain. Some patients feel better after a few visits, while chronic conditions may need ongoing care. Dr. Polley will create a personalized plan during your first visit.
