Get Fast, Lasting Relief at High Amplitude Health
If you’re dealing with lower back pain, you’re not alone. According to the American Chiropractic Association, over 80% of Americans will experience back pain at some point—and it’s one of the leading causes of missed work and reduced quality of life.

Whether your pain is new or chronic, our personalized chiropractic and soft tissue treatments are designed to get you moving and pain-free again.
Common Causes of Lower Back Pain
Low back pain doesn’t have a single cause—it can result from injury, poor movement patterns, or even stress. Some of the most common contributors include:
Repetitive Motion & Overuse
Athletes, laborers, and even desk workers often experience muscle strain and joint irritation from repetitive movements. This can lead to inflammation and persistent discomfort.
Improper Lifting or Sudden Movements
Lifting without proper form—or even a quick twist or bend—can strain muscles and ligaments in the lower back.
Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated. Symptoms can range from hip and low back pain to burning, numbness, and sharp shooting pain down the leg.
Poor Posture from Prolonged Computer Use
Spending hours at a desk without changing position can create postural imbalances, tight muscles, and lower back pain.
Trauma from Accidents or Falls
Accidents can overstretch soft tissues, tear ligaments, or compress spinal joints, often resulting in pain and limited mobility.
Poor Core Muscle Activation
Weak or inactive core muscles can lead to instability in the spine, making it more vulnerable to injury or strain during everyday movements.
Stress-Related Muscle Tightness
Chronic stress and anxiety can cause your back, neck, and shoulders to tighten involuntarily. This tension restricts movement and contributes to ongoing pain.
Chiropractic & Soft Tissue Treatments for Lower Back Pain
Unlike painkillers, which only mask the symptoms, our approach at High Amplitude Health focuses on correcting the underlying problem. We use a combination of chiropractic adjustments, Active Release Therapy, and targeted myofascial techniques to reduce pain, restore function, and help prevent flare-ups.
Spinal Manipulation (Chiropractic Adjustments)
Gentle, precise spinal adjustments help restore alignment and improve joint mobility. These adjustments relieve pressure on nerves and reduce inflammation, especially effective when no serious disc injuries are present.
Active Release Therapy (ART)
ART is a specialized form of myofascial therapy that targets scar tissue, tight muscles, and soft tissue adhesions. This hands-on technique improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and restores normal movement patterns.
Muscle Activation & Stretching Guidance
We’ll show you how to safely activate and stretch the right muscle groups so you can support your spine and stay pain-free between visits.
