Back Pain Overview

My back is so tight – it just aches!”   Sound familiar?  According to the National Institute of Health, back pain is one of the most common medical problems, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point during their lives.  Medical research has shown that Grandma’s advice of bed rest is not the answer to back pain.  In fact, staying in bed for more than a day or two can make it worse.

Back pain is the primary reason so many people seek chiropractic care.  Modern chiropractic is scientifically proven to safely help most types of back pain.  Most patients with back pain rate chiropractic to be highly effective.

Back pain comes in many forms – lower back, upper back and chronic or not – and is caused by any number of reasons such as strains, tension or structural problems to name just a few.  Back pain cannot be treated until the cause of the pain is discovered; once the underlying cause is detected treatment can begin.

The medical team at Frye Chiropractic treats hundreds of residents from Lancaster and Antelope Valley annually for back pain.   When you make an appointment we will perform a thorough examination, including X-Rays, to determine the cause of your back pain.  Next we develop a customized treatment plan for your specific needs and walk you through it step-by-step.

If you have severe back pain and have been diagnosed with a herniated, bulging, ruptured or degenerative disc, You should inquire about our Non-Surgical Disc treatment Center.  This program has helped many back pain sufferers recover, even after they’ve tried injections, therapy or even surgery.

Chiropractic has an extremely high success rate in treating and eliminating back pain.  Call today for an appointment.

If you're like most patients we see at the Non-Surgical Disc Treatment Center at Frye Chiropractic, you have suffered from back, leg, neck or shoulder pain for many years.
Most of our patients have tried most treatments. Their doctor started them with bed rest or told them to take it easy and then gave them over-the-counter pain medications, followed by prescription pain killers and muscle relaxers. Most of our patients have tried all the conventional treatment: physical rehab, epidural injections, acupuncture, traction and maybe even surgery. But they are still in pain.

For many years, we have been researching and studying difficult to treat back pain. We looked at the causes of back pain. We studied the standard treatments to begin to understand why they didn’t work. Since then we have been on a mission…

A mission to help patients who suffer from back and neck pain.

We have discovered that most patients who suffer from back pain get better with treatment like chiropractic care. In fact we estimate that 80% of patients get better with a little bit of care from a professional who knows what they are doing.  And every day we help many people with their back pain.  But if you are one of those people who have had MRI's, have been given injections, have been told they need surgery or even had surgery and yet still suffer, we may be able to help.  We've helped many who thought they could not be helped.

"Four years ago I started having pain in my low back and was told I had arthritis.  The pain was so bad I was not able to work without pain.  I was not able to help around the house or work on my car.  The doctor gave me Cortisone injections (epidurals) that didn’t help.  Then doctors told me I had to have surgery.  I had surgery on my lumbar spine with plate and screws.  The pain continued and went back to the doctor and had x-rays and was told the screws were loose and they needed to be removed.  I had another surgery to remove the plate and screws.  After two months of therapy that was ordered for me, I did not feel any improvement.   Now after doing six weeks of DRX treatment and Therapy I feel 85% better.  Now I only have stiffness in the morning but then can go about my duties.  Now I can wash my car and do maintenance on my car.  My wife is happy because I can help her wash dishes and clean around the house."

“I thought I had to live with my back pain forever. I once collapsed at home holding my grandson.  911 came.  The hospital gave me a shot and sent me home. 

Christmas this year I picked up my grandsons and the pain was so intense I pleaded for help.  My husband found Dr. Frye. I was in so much pain on Christmas Day.  They saw me immediately.  God Bless! 

Within weeks my Internist reduced my blood pressure medicine to half, stopped my water pills, and the depression left.  I lost 6 lbs. and I am now walking on my treadmill.  A surprise result was sinus relief too.  I didn't know so much relief from pain could help change my life so much.  I am eternally grateful to you!  Thank you! “

Pain Pills Couldn’t Help Me Get Dressed

I was suffering from pain in my lower neck. It was almost impossible to move my neck or my left shoulder. I couldn’t sleep very well, and somebody had to help me get dressed.

I tried pain pills, but the pain would come back every few hours. My mom suggested AV Spinal Care since they had helped her headaches.

Now I can move my shoulder and neck. I feel much better. Thanks a million, you guys are great!

How Do You Spell Relief?

I woke up one day and couldn’t bend over or walk normally. I went to work, barely made it. I called Dr. Fryes office because I knew they could help me.

They set up an appointment for me on the way home. I was in constant pain. My range of motion became less throughout the day. I just wanted to make it to Dr. Frye’s office. I was desperate by the time 5:00 pm… Dr. Frye gave me my adjustment for my lower back. Instantly, I felt relief. I cam back for a few more adjustments and was back to normal.

Now I know that when I need relief, I can count on Dr. Frys’s office.

Chiropractor Helps Bowler

One day I woke up with an achy back and I went to bed with the same pain. Over time the pain got worse. I was in constant pain all the time. Worst of all, it was affecting my bowling game. I was taking tylenol continuously. Thanks to Dr. Frye, I am bowling my highest scores this year. 131 –141- 151- 423

Lifting Injury

I damaged my lower back by lifting a box incorrectly. As a result I was not able to walk long distances and unfortunately my job required a lot of walking. My doctor sent me to physical therapy, but the pain just kept coming. I was on vicodin and soma. I needed to try something else, so I went to Dr. Frye’s office.

Thanks to the chiropractors I no longer have severe back pain and I can enjoy walking again.

Mom Is Always Right

I had back pains one day, and from that day on, I had had pain every day. The pain started in my neck and traveled down my mid back into my lower back. I tried over the counter pain pills, I tried resting, but the pain kept coming back. My wife and mother both referred my to Antelope Valley Spinal Care. The results were magnificent. The pain in my back went away.

The staff and doctors were great. I would refer anybody to Dr. Frye’s office.

Back Pain and Dancing

I had excruciating low back pain. For a week I could not stand, sit bend. I had to lay on my side to sleep. I stopped my dancing career. I thought I would never dance again. I tried prescription medicines and pain pills, but they didn’t help.

Today I’m able to dance again.
