Back Pain Treatment in League City | Lordex Spine Institute

 

Overview

Back pain is common and often improves with conservative care. Our team focuses on non‑surgical options tailored to your goals and day‑to‑day demands.

Symptoms we see

  • Aching or stiffness in the low back.
  • Pain after sitting, driving, or lifting.
  • Pain traveling into the hip or leg.
  • Morning stiffness that improves with movement.

Likely contributors (non‑exhaustive)

  • Mechanical low back pain (facet irritation, muscle strain).
  • Disc‑related pain or nerve irritation.
  • Deconditioning and prolonged sitting.
  • Post‑accident sprain/strain.

Conservative care options at Lordex

  • Chiropractic adjustments to improve joint motion and reduce irritation.
  • Spinal decompression for select disc‑related cases.
  • Targeted exercise rehab for strength, flexibility, and durability.
  • Manual therapy/soft‑tissue work for muscle and fascia.
  • Self‑care guidance: activity modification, heat/ice, ergonomics.

*Imaging is not routinely required. We coordinate X‑ray/MRI when red flags are present or if symptoms don’t improve as expected.

What to expect

  1. Visit 1: Focused history, exam, and a plain‑language explanation. If appropriate, we start a short trial of care.
  2. Weeks 1–2: 2–3 visits/week combining adjustments, decompression as indicated, and home exercise.
  3. Weeks 3–4: Re‑assessment; continue, taper, or co‑manage based on response and goals.

When to seek urgent care
Go to urgent care or the ER for new numbness in the groin, loss of bowel or bladder control, major trauma, fever with severe back pain, or progressive leg weakness.

FAQs

Coverage varies. We’ll verify benefits and discuss costs before care begins.

When is decompression considered?
For specific disc‑related presentations and after a clinician determines it’s appropriate.
