Low Back Pain Treatment in Roseville, CA
Comprehensive chiropractic care combined with advanced therapies for lasting low back pain relief.
If you’re dealing with low back pain in Roseville, you know how disruptive it can be. Pain in the lower back can affect your ability to sit, stand, bend, lift, and move comfortably throughout the day. It often interferes with work, sleep, and even simple daily activities.
Low Back Pain Symptoms We Commonly See
Low back pain symptoms can vary depending on the structures involved and how long the issue has been present. Some patients experience localized discomfort near the beltline, while others notice pain that affects movement or daily activities.
Common low back pain symptoms include:
-
Pain or stiffness in the lower back
-
Discomfort that worsens with sitting, standing, bending, or lifting
-
Reduced range of motion through the lumbar spine
-
Muscle tightness or spasms in the lower back
-
Pain that may extend into the hips or legs
-
Symptoms that improve or worsen with posture or activity
Symptoms may fluctuate over time, especially when underlying mechanical factors continue to place stress on the lower back.
A Different Approach to Low Back Pain Care
Low back pain is rarely caused by just one factor. In many cases, it develops over time due to joint restriction, muscle imbalance, disc stress, and repetitive loading through the lumbar spine. That’s why quick fixes and one-size-fits-all treatments often fall short.
We take a more comprehensive approach to low back pain care. Dr. Todd Bunning brings over 22+ years of chiropractic experience to identifying how lumbar spine mechanics, pelvic alignment, and movement patterns may be contributing to ongoing pain.
Chiropractic Care forms the foundation of treatment by restoring proper movement and alignment in the lower back. When appropriate, additional therapies are used to reduce inflammation, relieve pressure on irritated structures, improve circulation, and support healing.
Rather than relying solely on symptoms, care is guided by objective assessment. We evaluate how your body moves and loads through the lower back using measurable structural indicators, allowing treatment to be applied with greater precision and progress to be tracked over time.
Restore Proper Alignment
How Chiropractic Care Helps Low Back Pain
Low back pain often develops when the lumbar spine loses proper movement and alignment. When joints do not move as intended, nearby muscles tighten to compensate, stress increases on discs and joints, and irritation builds over time.
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring controlled motion to the lumbar spine and related joints. Through precise, targeted adjustments, restricted areas are guided into improved movement patterns, helping reduce mechanical stress and improve overall function.
When spinal motion is restored, forces distribute more evenly through the lower back rather than concentrating stress in one area. Many patients notice improved flexibility, reduced tension, and greater ease of movement as care progresses.
Chiropractic adjustments are controlled and intentional. They are tailored to your comfort level, condition, and how your spine responds over time, with the goal of improving function rather than masking symptoms.
How We Identify Mechanical Contributors to Low Back Pain
Low back pain is rarely caused by a single issue in one location. In many cases, it develops due to the way the body moves, loads, and compensates through the lumbar spine and pelvis.
As part of the evaluation process, we assess how your body moves through the lower back, hips, and surrounding joints using objective structural indicators. This allows us to identify deviations from normal movement patterns that may be placing excess stress on the lumbar spine.
For patients with low back pain, this often reveals:
-
Uneven loading through the hips or pelvis
-
Restricted lumbar or pelvic motion
-
Compensatory movement patterns increasing lower back strain
-
Stability deficits that place ongoing stress on spinal joints and discs
This information provides a clear baseline and allows care to be customized with greater precision as structure and movement improve.
Integrated Treatment Options for Low Back Pain
Low back pain can involve multiple contributing factors, including disc stress, muscle tension, inflammation, and nerve irritation. Because of this, effective care may involve more than chiropractic adjustments alone.
At Back On Track 2 Wellness, chiropractic care may be supported by advanced, in-house therapies when appropriate.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy delivers targeted acoustic waves into chronically stressed tissues to help break up scar tissue, improve circulation, and support mobility in the lower back.
Spinal Decompression
For patients whose low back pain involves disc pressure or nerve irritation, spinal decompression may be used to gently reduce spinal loading and support more comfortable movement without surgery.
Laser Therapy
Class IV Laser Therapy uses targeted light energy to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support cellular repair in irritated tissues surrounding the lower back.

What to Expect During Your Low Back Pain Care
Initial Evaluation
Your first visit begins with a thorough evaluation to understand what’s contributing to your low back pain. Dr. Todd Bunning will review your health history, discuss your symptoms, and perform orthopedic and neurological assessments to evaluate how your spine and surrounding tissues are functioning. If imaging is needed, recommendations will be made to ensure care is appropriate and safe. When appropriate, movement and structural assessment may also be used to better understand how your body is functioning and contributing to your symptoms.
Personalized Care Plan
Based on your evaluation, a personalized care plan is created to address the underlying cause of your pain. This plan is never one-size-fits-all. Some patients experience relief quickly, while others with more complex or long-standing issues may require a more gradual approach. Care is always tailored to your condition, comfort level, and goals.
How Care Progresses Over Time
Most treatment plans begin with more frequent visits to restore proper movement, reduce irritation, and stabilize the spine. As your condition improves, visit frequency typically decreases. The focus is not on endless appointments, but on restoring function, reducing pain, and helping you maintain results long-term. As care progresses, treatment is adjusted based on how your body responds, with the goal of improving movement, stability, and overall spinal function over time.
Ongoing Monitoring & Progress
Progress is monitored throughout care, and treatment plans are adjusted based on how your body responds. Clear communication and measurable improvement guide each phase of care, with the goal of helping you move better, feel better, and maintain your results. Progress is monitored not only by changes in symptoms, but also by improvements in movement, balance, and overall spinal function as care continues.
