Back pain is one of the most common reasons people miss work. It can come from lifting, poor posture, sitting too long, injuries or disc problems.
Chiropractic care is one of the most researched non-drug options for back pain. At our Kent office, Dr. Pfeiffer finds the source of the problem and treats it directly.
Common causes of back pain
- Lifting or twisting injuries
- Long hours sitting or standing

Frequently asked questions
When should I see a chiropractor for back pain?
If pain lasts more than a few days, keeps coming back, or limits your work or sleep, it's a good time to get checked. Seek emergency care for loss of bladder or bowel control, or severe weakness.
