Back pain treatment is a holistic approach designed to relieve discomfort and improve mobility for individuals experiencing pain in their mid-back, lower back, or related areas. At Optimize Chiropractic in Gilmer, TX, Dr. Kyle Hurst specializes in addressing back pain caused by various conditions, including muscle tension, spinal misalignment, and nerve-related issues like sciatica. Through personalized care plans that may include spinal adjustments, dry needling, or other therapies, the goal is to target the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms, to help you feel your best.
Mid-back pain is often caused by poor posture, muscle strain, or issues with the thoracic spine. This area of the back plays a key role in supporting your upper body and facilitating movement. Pain in the mid-back can range from a dull ache to sharp discomfort, often impacting daily activities like sitting, lifting, or twisting.
Low back pain is one of the most common complaints and can stem from a variety of sources, including muscle tension, disc problems, or improper lifting techniques. The lumbar spine supports much of your body weight, making it particularly prone to injury and wear over time. Without proper treatment, this pain can become chronic.

Sciatica refers to pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the legs. This type of back pain often causes a sharp, shooting sensation in the lower back, buttocks, and legs, sometimes accompanied by tingling or numbness. Sciatica can significantly limit mobility and quality of life.
Scoliosis, a condition where the spine curves abnormally, can lead to chronic back pain. The uneven distribution of weight and strain on the muscles and joints causes discomfort, particularly in severe cases. Chiropractic care can be an effective way to manage pain and improve spinal alignment in patients with scoliosis.
Through precise, gentle adjustments, spinal manipulation targets misaligned vertebrae in the thoracic spine. By restoring proper alignment, this treatment alleviates pressure on surrounding tissues and nerves, improving posture and reducing pain.
Dry needling is an effective way to relieve tension in the mid-back. By targeting specific trigger points within tight muscles, this therapy promotes relaxation, increases blood flow, and accelerates healing. It’s an excellent option for individuals experiencing persistent muscle knots or spasms.
Soundwave therapy delivers targeted sound waves to affected areas in the mid-back, encouraging tissue repair and reducing inflammation. This cutting-edge treatment not only alleviates pain but also improves mobility, helping patients get back to their daily routines faster.
For mid-back issues caused by muscle strain, manual therapy techniques focus on releasing tension in the affected muscles. This hands-on approach helps reduce stiffness, ease discomfort, and restore flexibility to strained areas.
Incorporating regular stretches and exercises into your routine can significantly reduce mid-back pain. Simple movements, tailored to your needs, help strengthen muscles, improve posture, and prevent future discomfort. These exercises are easy to maintain as part of a daily routine.
