Treatment for back pain

If I ignore it will it go away? 

  • Back pain is not a disease in and of itself, but a sign of a more serious condition. (Think “check engine” light in your car.) The light is not the problem but the reason the light came on.
  • If you try and cover up or just plain ignore the pain, the condition will likely worsen until it becomes permanent and spread to other areas of the body.

A large percentage of back pain issues can be addressed and corrected through  chiropractic adjustments.

Back Pain Treatment Client Testimonials

I have had lower back problems for about 35 years. As I aged, they were getting worse. I also noticed I was over weight. I came to Susquehanna Spine & Rehab because Dr. Lee could address both issues as part of a unified plan. The diet regimen, chiropractic, and personalized exercises worked! One aspect of Dr. Lee’s care that I really appreciate is his thorough explanation of what is going on and why it is happening. He also explained how the treatment(s) will work. Lastly, I find the friendly, patient-centered environment very refreshing!

I began seeing Dr. Lee after noticing severe tenderness and pain in my left hip region. I scheduled an appointment and on my first visit he took x-rays but after noticing that there was a problem and it wasn’t showing on the x-ray, he sent me for an MRI. Dr. Lee continued to adjust me and see me as a patient to manage the pain I was having. I was lucky to find Dr. Lee when I did, not only did he help me discover that the pain in my hip was actually related to a mass growing uncontrollably but he also gave me the comfort I’d been searching for with chiropractic. I’d recommend Dr. Lee to anyone who wants to be pain-free!
