STOP TOLERATING BACK PAIN IN CHARLOTTE

Nearly 80% of Americans have suffered from significant back pain at some point in their life, ranging from dull aches to herniated discs. Some of these back pain issues may resolve themselves, while others cause constant discomfort or, in extreme cases, leave sufferers bedridden and unable to function.

Back pain may be the result of a wide variety of problems, such as structural spine issues, degenerative conditions and sudden injury.

Proactive Chiropractic and Rehab Center offers advanced therapeutic services to help alleviate and prevent back pain. Our Charlotte chiropractor, Dr. Khlebopros, has a solid record of successfully treating back pain, whether it’s caused by sports injury, accident, improper posture or the stress and strain of daily life. For those seeking effective chiropractic Charlotte services, our clinic provides expert care tailored to your specific needs.

WHERE IS BACK PAIN FELT?

Chronic back pain can be debilitating. The most immediate pain is often felt in the soft tissue of the back. People can experience limited range of movement and acute, sharp aches when in certain postures. Nearby muscles and connective tissue can be affected, which can cause stiffness, inflammation, numbness and weakness.

Because the spine carries nerves from the brain to the rest of the body, other areas can feel the effects of back issues. Without treatment, these issues can lead to such conditions as repeated migraine headaches, shooting pains down the leg or reduced strength and mobility in the hands.

TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN

Often back pain sufferers are prescribed painkillers or muscle relaxers. While these medications will provide temporary relief, the prescriptions do not address the cause of the pain. Surgery is sometimes recommended for severe back pain, but this course of action carries other risks.

When you visit a chiropractor, you receive personalized, non-invasive care dedicated to long-term improvement. A skilled chiropractor can properly diagnosis and treat your back pain, returning your spine to its natural alignment through gentle manipulation. Once the spine is realigned, the surrounding structures can relax, which will reduce inflammation and allow the joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and cartilage to heal on their own.

Proactive Chiropractic and Rehab Center treats Charlotte residents through our conveniently located outpatient clinic. After diagnosis, Dr. Khlebopros will design a personal recovery regiment that places pain reduction as the initial priority. The treatment plan will help resolve the underlying source, or sources, of your back issues. If you are struggling with chronic back pain, consider exploring our specialized spinal decompression treatment as part of your path to recovery. Once you are able to move with greater ease, lifestyle changes such as exercise, stretching techniques, nutrition and proper posture will be recommended to allow your body heal and maintain its natural function and mobility.

PATIENT SUCCESS STORY: OVERCOMING LOW BACK PAIN WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND DRY NEEDLING

When a patient came into our office experiencing severe low back pain after lifting his child, he was in visible distress. The sudden movement had triggered intense muscle spasms, leaving him with a pronounced lateral spinal listing—his posture noticeably tilted to one side—and sharp, excruciating pain rated 8 out of 10 on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Simple movements like walking, bending, and lifting had become incredibly painful.

Upon examination, we identified a significant misalignment in the lumbar region. Our treatment plan began with targeted chiropractic adjustments to address the lumbar dysfunction, followed by dry needling to release muscle tension and reduce spasms. To specifically address the lateral listing, we incorporated lateral wall glides—a technique designed to improve spinal mobility and correct postural imbalances.

With each visit, the patient experienced steady improvement. His posture began to realign, and he reported decreasing pain levels and improved mobility. By the eighth visit, his symptoms had resolved completely. He was once again able to lift, bend, and move freely—without pain.

Today, this patient continues to visit our office monthly for maintenance care, keeping his spine healthy and helping to prevent future flare-ups.

PATIENT SUCCESS STORY: RELIEVING LOW BACK PAIN FROM SITTING ALL DAY

A 33-year-old female patient came to our office with chronic low back pain that worsened after any form of physical activity. Once an active athlete, she now works a corporate desk job that keeps her sedentary for most of the day. As a result, she experienced daily soreness and stiffness in her lower back—especially after playing basketball or exercising.

During her initial visit, orthopedic and neurological evaluations were performed, and she was diagnosed with lumbar facet arthralgia, a condition commonly linked to joint irritation and inflammation in the lower spine.

To help relieve her symptoms, we developed a customized treatment plan that included chiropractic adjustments, electrical stimulation, flexion-based therapeutic exercises, and targeted muscle work using a massage gun.

After just three visits, the patient reported a significant reduction in pain—from 7/10 to 2/10 on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). She was able to return to her workouts with improved comfort and less post-activity soreness.

This is a great example of how chiropractic care can effectively address chronic low back pain and restore active lifestyles—even for patients who spend long hours at a desk.

PATIENT SUCCESS STORY: FAST RELIEF FROM STABBING MID-BACK PAIN

A 32-year-old male patient came to our office with sharp, stabbing pain on the left side of his mid-back. Despite trying to relieve the discomfort through stretching, the pain persisted and began interfering with his daily life.

Following a detailed orthopedic and neurological examination, we identified the cause: a misaligned rib, which can often mimic muscular back pain and lead to intense, localized discomfort in the thoracic region.

To relieve the pain and restore proper function, we administered a focused treatment plan that included chiropractic adjustments to the thoracic spine, dry needling, and electrical stimulation. This multi-modal approach helped reduce muscle tension, restore mobility, and support the realignment of the rib.

After just two visits, the patient reported significant improvement and relief from the stabbing mid-back pain that had been bothering him for days.

This case is a strong example of how chiropractic care can quickly and effectively address back pain—even when it stems from less obvious causes like rib misalignment.
