What Causes Back Pain?
Back pain can come from many sources, and finding the right treatment starts with understanding why it hurts. The most common causes we see at our Newberg clinic include:
-
Muscle and ligament strains — the most frequent cause, often from lifting, overuse, or a sudden awkward movement
-
Disc herniation or bulge — when spinal discs press on nearby nerves, causing localized or radiating pain
-
Sciatica and nerve compression — pain, numbness, or tingling that travels down the leg from a pinched nerve in the lower spine
-
Facet joint irritation — inflammation in the small joints between vertebrae, often felt as stiffness or a sharp pain with movement
-
Poor posture and workplace ergonomics — prolonged sitting, screen work, or repetitive movements that stress the spine over time
-
Injuries from accidents, sports, or work — auto accidents, falls, and work-related incidents that strain or damage spinal structures
Understanding the source of your pain is the first step. Our chiropractor will complete a full orthopedic and neurological exam at your first visit so treatment addresses the actual cause, not just the symptom.
How Chiropractic Care Treats Back Pain
Chiropractic care works by restoring normal movement and alignment to the spine and surrounding joints. When joints are restricted or misaligned, surrounding muscles and nerves are affected, contributing to pain and slowed recovery. Correcting that movement is the foundation of what we do.
At Weber Chiropractic, we use a range of techniques depending on what your back needs:
-
Chiropractic adjustments — hands-on or instrument-assisted corrections that restore normal joint movement and reduce mechanical stress on the spine
-
Myofascial release and Graston technique — soft tissue work that breaks down scar tissue, relieves muscle tension, and improves blood flow to injured areas
-
Ultrasound and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) — therapeutic tools that help reduce inflammation and support tissue recovery
-
Kinesio taping — supportive tape applied to muscles and joints to aid recovery and reduce strain between visits
-
Rehabilitation exercises and home care guidance — specific exercises you can do at home to support your recovery and prevent recurrence
One of the advantages of our Newberg clinic is that chiropractic care does not stand alone. Massage therapy and acupuncture are available in the same office, and many patients find that combining these approaches addresses both the structural and soft tissue components of back pain more effectively than any single treatment.
Conditions We Treat
Our back pain patients come in with a wide range of conditions. Common ones we address include:
-
Low back pain — acute and chronic, from disc issues, muscle strain, posture, or unknown origin
-
Sciatica — nerve pain that radiates from the lower back into the hip, leg, or foot
-
Disc herniation — a bulging or ruptured disc pressing on spinal nerves
-
Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain — dysfunction at the joint connecting the spine to the pelvis, often felt as low back or hip pain
-
Upper back and thoracic pain — stiffness and soreness in the mid-back, often linked to posture or prolonged sitting
-
Neck and back pain from auto accidents or work injuries — whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and spine strain from crashes or on-the-job incidents
-
Sports-related back injuries — strains, overuse injuries, and impact injuries in athletes and active patients
-

What To Expect At Your First Visit
Your first visit at Weber Chiropractic is focused on understanding your situation fully before any treatment begins.
-
Thorough case history — we ask about your pain, when it started, what makes it better or worse, your activity level, and your health history
-
Orthopedic and neurological exam — physical testing to identify which structures are involved and rule out conditions that need a different kind of care
-
Written treatment plan — after the exam, Dr. Weber explains what he found and what he recommends, including realistic expectations for your care
-
Hands-on treatment may begin the same day — if it is appropriate based on your exam findings, your first treatment can start at that first visit
-
Coordination with other providers when needed — if your condition calls for imaging, specialist referral, or co-management with another provider, we will tell you and help coordinate that care
Most patients leave their first visit with a clear understanding of what is going on and a concrete plan for addressing it.
Back Pain FAQs
Can a chiropractor help with chronic back pain? Chiropractic care is commonly used for chronic back pain. Many patients with long-standing back pain find that regular adjustments, combined with soft tissue work and home exercises, help reduce pain and improve function over time. Results vary by individual and condition. We will give you an honest assessment after your exam.
How many visits will I need? It depends on how long you have had the pain, what is causing it, and how your body responds to care. After your first visit, Dr. Weber will give you a specific recommendation. Some patients feel meaningful improvement in a few visits; others with chronic or complex conditions benefit from a longer course of care. We do not recommend ongoing treatment beyond what your condition warrants.
Is chiropractic safe for back pain? Chiropractic care has a strong safety record for musculoskeletal back pain. At your first visit, we complete a full exam to identify any conditions where a standard adjustment would not be appropriate and to choose the technique that fits your situation. If you have a specific health concern, let us know when you call.
Will my insurance cover chiropractic for back pain? Weber Chiropractic accepts Providence, Moda, Pacific Source, Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, ASH Network, Aetna, First Choice, Multiplan, Kaiser, and Medicare. We also accept workers' compensation and Oregon personal auto insurance. If you are not sure whether your plan covers chiropractic, call us at 503-538-7338 and we can help you check before your visit.
What is the difference between a chiropractor and a physical therapist for back pain? Both work with musculoskeletal conditions, but their approaches differ. Chiropractors focus on spinal and joint alignment, using adjustments and manual therapy as primary tools. Physical therapists typically focus on rehabilitation exercises and movement retraining. Some patients benefit from one, some from both. At Weber Chiropractic, we include rehab exercises as part of care, so you get elements of both in one office.
Can I see a chiropractor if I have had back surgery? Possibly, depending on the type of surgery and how long ago it was. We work with post-surgical patients and are careful about which techniques are appropriate near a surgical site. The exam at your first visit will determine whether and how we can help. If chiropractic is not suitable for your situation, we will tell you.
Does chiropractic help sciatica? Sciatica caused by a spinal misalignment or joint restriction often responds well to chiropractic care. When the source of nerve compression is addressed, many patients experience a reduction in radiating pain, numbness, or tingling. We will assess your sciatica specifically at the first visit and let you know what to realistically expect.
What if my back pain is from a car accident or work injury? We treat both. Weber Chiropractic accepts Oregon personal auto insurance (PIP) and workers' compensation insurance, so coverage for accident and work-injury care is typically available. If you were in an accident, it is best to be evaluated as soon as possible — many injuries from accidents are not immediately painful but worsen without early treatment. Call 503-538-7338 to schedule.
