Back Pain Chiropractor in Dallas, TX

A back pain chiropractor treats the cause of your pain rather than masking it. At Longhorn Injury and Rehab Centers we examine your spine, identify what is generating the pain, and treat it with adjustments, soft tissue work and rehab exercise. No drugs, no surgery. We see patients at our Garland Road clinic in Dallas and our Hebron Parkway clinic in Lewisville, often the same day.

Most people wait too long. They ice it, stretch it, take something over the counter and hope it settles. Sometimes it does. When it does not, the muscles around the injury start compensating, and by the time they call, a simple problem has spread into the hips, the neck, or down one leg.

Low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting 619 million people in 2020 according to the World Health Organization. It is also one of the most treatable when it is caught early.

We find the joint or tissue that is generating the pain, then restore normal movement to it.

That starts with an exam. We check how your spine moves, where it does not, which muscles are guarding, and whether any nerve is involved. If your history or symptoms point to something that needs imaging, we order it or refer out. We do not adjust a spine we have not examined.

Treatment is hands on. Spinal adjustments to restore joint motion, soft tissue therapy for the muscles that have been compensating, and a rehab program so the same injury does not come back in six months.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Most lower back pain comes from one of four things: a joint that has stopped moving properly, a muscle or ligament strain, a disc pressing on a nerve, or wear in the spine that has built up over years.
 
Cause What it feels like How long it usually takes to respond
Joint restriction Stiff, sharp with certain movements, better after moving around 2 to 4 weeks
Muscle or ligament strain Dull ache, tender to touch, worse at the end of the day 2 to 6 weeks
Disc pressing on a nerve Shooting pain, numbness or tingling down the leg 6 to 12 weeks
Degenerative wear Stiff in the morning, worse after standing or walking a long time Ongoing management

These are typical ranges, not promises. Your case depends on your exam findings, how long you have had the problem, and whether an accident was involved.

Yes, and sooner than most people do. Back pain from a crash often does not show up for two or three days, after the adrenaline has worn off and the inflammation has set in.

There is a second reason to come in early. If you delay care, an insurance adjuster will use that gap to argue your injury did not come from the crash. Getting examined and documented in the first few days protects both your recovery and your claim.

We treat auto accident patients at both locations and we document injuries properly for insurance and attorney purposes.

When is back pain an emergency?

Go to an emergency room, not a chiropractor, if you have any of these.

  • Loss of bladder or bowel control
  • Numbness through the groin or inner thighs
  • Progressive weakness in one or both legs
  • Back pain with fever, or after a fall from height
  • Severe pain that will not ease in any position

These can indicate a serious condition that needs immediate medical attention. Everything short of that list, we can usually help with.

FAQs

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in Texas?

No. Texas is a direct access state, so you can book a chiropractic appointment without a referral from a medical doctor. If your case needs imaging or a specialist, we arrange that referral ourselves after the exam.

How many visits will I need for back pain?

It depends on what the exam finds. Simple joint and muscle cases often improve within two to six weeks. Disc related pain takes longer. You get a written plan with an expected number of visits at your first appointment, not an open ended commitment.

Does chiropractic treatment hurt?

Most patients feel relief rather than pain during an adjustment. Some feel mild soreness for a day afterward, similar to how you feel after a workout. Tell your provider if anything is uncomfortable and the technique gets adjusted.

Can a chiropractor help if I already had back surgery?

Often yes, but the approach changes. We use lower force techniques around a surgical site and focus on the joints above and below it. Bring your surgical records to the first visit so the plan is built around what was done.
