Back Pain

Back pain affects millions of people every year—but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp stabbing sensation, or stiffness that makes it hard to move, pain is a signal that something deeper is going on.

At Regenerative Health Institute, we specialize in getting to the root cause of back pain and delivering lasting relief through chiropractic care and non-surgical therapies.

If you’re tired of relying on pain medications, heating pads, or temporary fixes, our team is here to help you heal—naturally, safely, and effectively.

Lower Back Pain

Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a chiropractor—and it’s also one of the most frustrating conditions to treat if you’re only targeting symptoms.

Our chiropractor, Dr. Derek Smith, takes a root-cause approach to relieving low back pain in Fishers to provide lasting relief.

He assesses the alignment of your pelvis and spine, the health of your discs and nerves, and the balance of your muscles and connective tissue.

Then, using chiropractic care, spinal decompression, and trigger point injections, he can help restore balance and relieve pain at the source.

Common causes of low back pain he treats include:

• Lumbar disc bulges and herniations
• Sciatica and nerve compression
• Facet joint inflammation
• Muscle spasms and strain
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal arthritis

Whether your low back pain started suddenly or has been building for years, Dr. Smith can help you reclaim mobility, function, and freedom from pain—without relying on surgery or daily medications.

Chiropractic Care for Back Relief

Our first priority is to restore proper alignment and function to your spine. Many back pain issues stem from misalignments, compressed nerves, muscle imbalances, or restricted movement patterns. At our pain management clinic, we offer a powerful combination of spinal adjustments, spinal decompression, and trigger point injections to address these issues directly.

Spinal Adjustments
Our gentle, targeted chiropractic adjustments help realign your spine, reduce nerve pressure, and improve mobility. By restoring balance to the musculoskeletal system, we relieve pain and help your body function at its best.

Spinal Decompression
For patients with disc-related issues like bulging discs, herniated discs, or sciatica, spinal decompression therapy can create space between the vertebrae—relieving pressure and improving circulation to the affected area. This treatment is non-surgical, comfortable, and highly effective.

Trigger Point Injections
Tight, painful muscle knots—called trigger points—can contribute to or worsen back pain. Our trigger point injections use natural or anti-inflammatory solutions to release tension, reduce inflammation, and improve range of motion quickly.

Each chiropractic care plan is personalized to your unique condition, history, and lifestyle. Our goal is not just to reduce pain but to restore alignment, function, and strength—so you stay pain-free for the long term.

Back Pain FAQ’s

Q: What causes chronic back pain?
A: Common causes include disc herniations, sciatica, muscle strain, spinal arthritis, and poor spinal alignment.

Q: How does chiropractic care help back pain?

Q: What is spinal decompression therapy?
A: It’s a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves, helping conditions like herniated discs and sciatica.

Red Light Therapy as Supportive Care

For back pain involving muscle soreness, stiffness, or recovery from activity, red light therapy may be considered as a complement to chiropractic care, decompression, or rehabilitation. Photobiomodulation uses specific wavelengths of red or near-infrared light and may provide temporary relief of minor muscle or joint discomfort with certain devices.

Red light therapy does not correct a herniated disc, spinal instability, or nerve compression. We first identify the likely cause of your back pain and then determine whether this supportive option fits the larger treatment plan.
