Why backs hurt
Most back pain comes from muscles, joints and the way you move, not from anything seriously wrong. Long days sitting, a weekend of yard work, a new workout or an old injury that never fully healed can all set it off. The good news: this kind of pain usually responds well to hands-on, movement-based care.
How Dr. Broome treats it
- A movement exam to find what's actually driving the pain
- Chiropractic adjustments to restore motion in stiff joints
- Soft tissue work for tight, guarded muscles
- Corrective exercises so it doesn't keep coming back
When to see an orthopaedic specialist instead
If your back pain came from a fall or accident, travels down a leg with numbness or weakness, or isn't improving after a few weeks of care, Dr. Broome can bring in SROSM's spine specialists and on-site imaging without sending you somewhere new. How to tell
Common questions
How many visits will I need for back pain?
It depends on the cause and how long you've had it. Dr. Broome will give you a plan after your first exam and check progress as you go. We don't sell prepaid visit packages.
Can a chiropractor help back pain without medication?
For many patients, yes. Adjustments, soft tissue work and exercise are drug-free. If medication or other treatment is needed, SROSM's physicians are in the same practice.
