Low back pain is one of the most common health complaints among adults in Mandarin and Jacksonville. It can make simple activities like bending, lifting, or even standing a challenge.
Some people develop low back pain suddenly after an injury, while others find that it builds slowly over time due to posture, repetitive movements, or an old injury that never fully healed.
​
Low back pain can come from many sources — strained muscles, herniated or bulging discs, joint irritation, arthritis, or spinal misalignments. When left untreated, it can limit your mobility and affect your quality of life.

How can an upper cervical chiropractor help with low back pain?
It may seem surprising, but the position of your neck significantly impacts your lower back. When the top two bones in your neck (the Atlas and Axis) are misaligned, your head sits unevenly on your spine. This causes your entire body to overcompensate, often leading to a tilted pelvis or uneven weight distribution that triggers chronic low back pain. Dr. O addresses these "top-down" misalignments to provide more stable, lasting relief for our patients in Mandarin.
Does San Jose Chiropractic offer a non-surgical alternative for herniated discs?
Yes. Many patients in Jacksonville seek out Dr. O because they want to avoid invasive surgery or long-term medication for disc issues. By using precise, gentle adjustments—including the Thompson Technique—Dr. O helps restore proper spinal mechanics and reduce the mechanical pressure on bulging or herniated discs.
Is your low back pain treatment safe for seniors with arthritis or osteoporosis?
Absolutely. Dr. O specializes in low-force techniques that do not require aggressive twisting or "cracking" of the spine. For our senior patients in Mandarin and San Jose, she often utilizes a specialized drop-table system (Thompson Technique) that uses gravity to assist the adjustment, making it incredibly gentle and safe for those with delicate health concerns.
Can chiropractic care help with sciatica and leg pain?
Yes, sciatica is frequently caused by a misalignment in the lower spine or pelvis that irritates the sciatic nerve. Dr. O performs a thorough neurological and postural evaluation to find exactly where the nerve is being compressed. By restoring alignment, she helps reduce the inflammation and shooting pain commonly associated with sciatica.
