Back Pain

Back pain may show up when you get out of bed, bend to pick something up, or sit through a meeting. Some people feel a steady ache, while others notice sharp pain with a particular movement.

At Boost Integrated Medical Center, we offer personalized back pain care in Reno to help you understand your symptoms and explore appropriate treatment.

Our approach may include chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, massage therapy, or trigger point injections for an identified muscular pain source.

We tailor recommendations to your history, examination, and goals rather than assuming every sore back needs the same treatment.

Lower Back Pain and Everyday Movement

Lower back pain may become noticeable during tasks you once did without thinking:

• Getting into or out of a car.
• Bending to pick up laundry or carry groceries.
• Standing long enough to prepare a meal.
• Sitting through a workday or a drive.

Tell us which activities you have started avoiding.

Care focuses on finding a manageable starting point. Depending on your condition, this may mean adjusting how you lift, breaking up prolonged sitting, or gradually rebuilding strength.

Recommendations should fit your symptoms and capabilities, rather than pushing through sharp or worsening pain.

We also want to know whether discomfort stays in your back or travels into your buttock, thigh, or foot. Radiating pain, tingling, or numbness may indicate nerve involvement and can change the evaluation and treatment approach.

What May Be Behind Your Back Pain

Back discomfort can involve muscles, joints, discs, or nearby nerves. Lifting, repetitive tasks, and long periods in one position may contribute to symptoms. Arthritis and other age-related changes can also affect how your back feels and moves.

The location of pain does not always reveal its source. Tight muscles may develop around an irritated joint, and a disc problem may produce symptoms that travel into a leg. An assessment helps distinguish these patterns and identify when further medical evaluation is needed.

Our starting process connects your history with everyday function:

1. Describe previous injuries and treatments you have tried.
2. Explain which activities increase or ease your discomfort.
3. Identify the movements you most want to regain.

These details help guide a practical care plan.

Chiropractic Care for Back Pain

Chiropractic care may help some patients manage musculoskeletal back pain and improve movement. Before recommending adjustments, we assess whether manual treatment is appropriate for your condition and discuss the options available.

Your plan may use chiropractic care alongside active rehabilitation. Treatment should support your ability to move and function, with recommendations adjusted as we learn how you respond.

If your history includes osteoporosis, spinal surgery, or other significant medical conditions, tell us before treatment. Those details influence which techniques may be suitable and whether another evaluation is needed first.

Physical Rehabilitation for Strength and Mobility

Physical rehabilitation gives you a way to participate in your recovery. Exercises may address trunk strength, hip movement, flexibility, and the coordination needed for daily tasks.

For someone whose back hurts during lifting, the plan may emphasize movement control and gradually increasing capacity. For someone who becomes uncomfortable while sitting, mobility work and regular position changes may be more relevant.

Massage and Trigger Point Treatment

Massage therapy may be useful when muscle tightness or soreness contributes to back discomfort. It can complement an active care plan by making movement more comfortable for some patients.

When an examination identifies painful muscle trigger points, trigger point injections may also be considered. These injections address muscle-related pain; they do not correct a herniated disc or treat every source of lower back pain. Your provider will explain whether they fit your situation and discuss potential benefits and risks.
