Back Pain Chiropractor in Surprise, AZ

Looking for real back pain relief in Surprise, AZ? Dr. Derek Legg finds the cause of your low back pain, not just the symptom, and treats it in one focused visit with chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, and dry needling. Your first visit is $49 and includes the exam, digital X-rays if needed, your first adjustment, and your first acupuncture and dry needling treatment.

Why Back Pain Happens, and Why It Gets Worse

Research shows 8 out of 10 people deal with low back pain at some point, and it is the leading cause of disability in the world. Here in Surprise, Dr. Legg sees it every day. Think about your teeth: brush, floss, and see your dentist, and they last for decades. Your spine works the same way. When back pain is ignored and the real cause goes unaddressed, the joints slowly break down into degeneration and arthritis, and left unaddressed it tends to progress. That is why we find the source, correct the problem, and help you keep the results.

Common Back Pain Problems We Treat in Surprise, AZ

We treat the full range of low back conditions at our Surprise office, including bulging and herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, muscle strain and trigger points, sciatica and radiating nerve pain, SI joint dysfunction, and spinal subluxation. Your exam and digital X-rays tell us which one is driving your pain, so your care is built around your cause.

How We Treat Back Pain From Every Angle

Most back pain is more than one problem at once. The chiropractic adjustment frees the stuck joint and takes pressure off the pinched nerve. Acupuncture and dry needling release the knotted muscle and calm the inflammation. Most clinics do only one. Dr. Legg does both in the same visit, so many patients find relief comes faster and lasts longer. When your case calls for more, we add electrical stimulation, spinal decompression, and therapeutic exercise.
