Back Pain Treatment in Pompano Beach
Dr. Michael Cohen, DC has treated hundreds of people in Pompano Beach for ongoing back pain by identifying the real cause, not just chasing symptoms.
Back pain often begins after lifting, twisting, or long hours of sitting, but when it keeps returning, there is usually an underlying spinal or joint issue involved. Without addressing that root problem, pain can linger or slowly worsen over time.
At Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic, we take the time to understand why your back hurts. Every visit starts with a detailed exam so we can pinpoint what is causing stress on your spine and create a care plan designed to support natural healing and better movement.
Dr. Cohen’s approach is precise and gentle, focused on restoring balance and motion without unnecessary strain.

Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can develop from a combination of physical stress, posture, and spinal imbalance. Common causes include:
- Poor posture from prolonged sitting or standing
- Improper lifting or sudden twisting movements
- Lack of regular movement or exercise
- Joint dysfunction in the spine
- Muscle strain or ligament sprain
- Muscle spasms
- Arthritis or age related wear
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatic nerve irritation
Often, a single activity triggers pain, but the spine may have already been under stress before symptoms appeared.
Root Cause Diagnosis of Back Pain?
At Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic, diagnosis begins with understanding the full picture of your health and movement patterns.
Your evaluation may include:
- Review of health history and daily activities
- Postural assessment
- Range of motion testing
- Muscle and joint evaluation
- Nerve involvement screening
- Digital X rays when needed to assess spinal alignment
Dr. Michael Cohen, DC reviews all findings with you and explains what is contributing to your pain. This process allows care to focus on correcting the root cause rather than masking symptoms.
When appropriate, the team may also use neurological testing and detailed imaging to remove guesswork and better understand what is driving your symptoms.
Back Pain Treatment Plan
Your treatment plan is customized based on exam findings and Dr. Michael Cohen, DC’s clinical assessment. Treatment may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal alignment
- Gentle correction to restore movement
- Therapeutic exercises to support recovery
- Posture and movement guidance
- Supportive care to reduce irritation
As Dr. Michael Cohen, DC explains, the goal is to restore stability and motion so the spine can function normally and heal naturally.
Care is designed to be specific and targeted, with adjustments aimed at reducing nerve irritation and helping the body recover as naturally as possible.

Signs Your Back Pain Will Not Resolve on Its Own
Certain signs suggest back pain needs professional attention:
- Pain continues to worsen
- Pain spreads into the legs or arms
- Episodes return more frequently
- Over the counter medications stop helping
- Daily movement becomes limited
- Stiffness persists despite rest
Early evaluation can help prevent long term spinal issues.
Understanding Acute vs Chronic Back Pain
Acute back pain often appears suddenly after an activity such as lifting or twisting. Chronic back pain develops when stress or misalignment continues over time.
When pain lasts longer or keeps returning, it may signal an underlying issue that needs evaluation. Addressing the cause early helps reduce the risk of long term discomfort.
Do I Need Imaging or X-Rays for Back Pain?
Not every patient requires imaging. X rays may be recommended when spinal alignment, joint position, or structural changes need closer evaluation.
At Graceful Pompano Beach Chiropractic, imaging decisions are based on exam findings and individual history.
Does Insurance Cover Back Pain Treatment?
Coverage varies by plan. Our staff can help verify benefits.
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
Some patients feel relief early, while others improve gradually with continued care.
Results can vary based on severity, and some people feel changes quickly while others need more time and follow-up visits.
Back Pain symptoms
Back pain symptoms can vary depending on the cause and severity. You may experience:
- Dull or aching pain
- Stiffness or tightness
- Cramping sensations
- Burning pain
- Joint discomfort
- Pain traveling into the hips or legs
- Pain spreading from the upper back into the arms
- Reduced range of motion
Symptoms may come and go or feel constant. Changes in movement, posture, or activity can make pain worse.
Home remedies for back pain treatment
At home care may help manage symptoms between visits:
- Ice during the first two days for comfort
- Gentle heat after inflammation decreases
- Light walking to stay mobile
- Gentle stretching
- Avoid heavy lifting and twisting
- Over the counter pain relievers when needed
Home care supports comfort but does not correct spinal alignment.
Long Term Effects of Ignoring Back Pain Treatment
Ignoring back pain can allow spinal stress to worsen over time. Without care, misalignments may lead to:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica
- Chronic pain
- Poor posture
- Reduced mobility
- Increased risk of future injury
Timely care supports long term spinal health and function.
