Lower back pain is the number one cause of disability globally — and Chattanooga is no exception. Tens of thousands of Tennessee Valley residents deal with back pain every day that limits their work, their outdoor activities, and their quality of life.

Knee pain affects people of all ages — from competitive athletes recovering from a torn ligament to seniors struggling with the grinding discomfort of osteoarthritis. It's one of the most common reasons patients seek care at Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics, and fortunately, it's one of the conditions where modern non-surgical treatments have achieved some of the most remarkable results.

Low back pain is one of the most common complaints that brings patients to Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics.

Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide. If you're reading this, there's a good chance you've experienced it yourself — and you know how profoundly it can disrupt your work, your sleep, your relationships, and your enjoyment of daily life. The good news is that back pain is one of the most treatable conditions in orthopedic medicine, particularly when approached with a comprehensive, individualized strategy.

. For decades, patients with painful conditions like knee osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, ligament injuries, and rotator cuff tears faced a binary choice: manage the pain with medication or undergo surgery.

A chiropractor practice that is truly equipped to solve your pain problem should begin with a thorough examination and diagnosis — not immediate treatment. If a chiropractor begins adjusting your spine at the very first visit without a comprehensive history, physical examination, and review of any relevant imaging, that is a concerning sign. Treatment without diagnosis is guesswork.
