Explore Drug-Free Solutions for Back Pain.
Back pain isn’t just inconvenient—it can be life-altering. Whether it starts with a twinge after lifting something heavy or creeps in after years of sitting at a desk, back pain is a signal from your body that something isn’t working as it should. If you’re seeking long-lasting back pain relief in San Diego, Rise Chiropractic offers a conservative, science-backed alternative to drugs and surgery.
Fun Fact: Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to live with it.
Medications like muscle relaxers and NSAIDs only dull symptoms temporarily. And while surgery is sometimes necessary, it's often rushed into—with mixed results. Spinal surgeries, especially fusions, carry higher risks and lower satisfaction rates compared to other joint procedures.
At Rise Chiropractic, we specialize in finding and fixing the root cause of your pain—not just masking it. With a combination of gentle chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, soft tissue release, laser therapy, and customized rehab, we help you reclaim your body and your life—without invasive procedures.
Stop managing back pain. Let’s fix it at the source.
You Deserve Relief From Chronic Back Pain
Many of our patients arrive after months—or even years—of bouncing between providers, popping pills, or trying physical therapy without success. Others walk in when their back "goes out," leaving them frozen in pain.
The truth? Most back pain is mechanical—not pathological. That means it has to do with how your spine moves, how your muscles fire (or don’t), and how your posture distributes pressure. Disc injuries, strains, and sprains are often just the tip of the iceberg.
Our job is to dive deeper. We use movement testing, postural analytics, hands-on exams, and real-world functional screens to uncover the true source of your pain. Then we design a plan to fix it, not just patch it up.

Common Causes of Back Pain We See Every Day
Muscle or Ligament Strain: From weekend warriors to desk jockeys, micro-tears in muscle tissue can trigger long-term inflammation and compensation patterns.
Disc Injuries: Herniated or bulging discs compress nerves and can lead to radiating pain, numbness, or sciatica.
Joint Dysfunction & Arthritis: When spinal joints lose mobility, pain and degeneration set in.
Postural Imbalances: Forward head posture, tech neck, or uneven hips overload certain areas of your spine, creating wear and tear.
SI Joint Dysfunction: These often-overlooked joints are a common culprit in lower back pain and leg discomfort.
Referred Pain: Sometimes pain in the back originates from dysfunction in your hips, knees, or even feet.
Did You Know? For every inch your head moves forward, it adds 10 lbs of extra force on your spine.
Why Drugs and Surgery Often Fall Short
Conventional care often starts with a prescription or ends with a referral to surgery. But these options usually fail to address the core dysfunctions causing your pain.
Surgery may remove part of a disc—but it doesn’t fix poor posture or weak stabilizer muscles. Medications reduce inflammation—but they don’t teach your spine how to move again.
At Rise Chiropractic, we start with non-invasive, whole-body solutions. We believe your spine was designed to move—and when it moves well, it heals well.
