Back pain is the most common reason people visit a chiropractor, and for good reason. It is also one of the most mismanaged conditions in healthcare. Too often patients are handed a prescription, told to rest, and sent home without any real understanding of what is causing the pain or how to address it. At Lagoni Chiropractic, that is not how it works.
Dr. Jay Lagoni has been treating back pain in Pendleton for nearly 20 years. His approach starts with a thorough evaluation to identify the actual source of the problem, because back pain is rarely just back pain. It can stem from disc problems, joint dysfunction, muscle imbalance, poor movement patterns, or a combination of factors that have been building for years before they became painful enough to notice.
Back pain ranges from a dull, persistent ache to sharp, debilitating pain that makes it hard to stand, sit, or sleep. It can come on suddenly after lifting something or develop gradually over time. It can stay localized in the lower back or radiate into the hips, buttocks, and legs. Whatever form it takes, it has a cause, and finding that cause is the first step toward lasting relief.
After a detailed health history and physical evaluation, Dr. Jay will determine whether X-rays are needed and review those findings with a radiologist in most cases. At your Report of Findings appointment he will walk you through your diagnosis, a specific home exercise program, and a care plan built around your situation. Care plans run in one-month blocks with no prepay and no long-term contracts required.
Treatment for back pain at Lagoni Chiropractic may include chiropractic adjustments using Gonstead, Diversified, or Thompson techniques, Arthrostim instrument adjusting for patients who prefer a gentler approach, electric muscle stimulation, low-level laser therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, and kinesiotaping. Every patient also receives a home exercise program specific to their condition because what you do between visits is just as important as what happens in the office.
