Care built around your goals
Symptoms of lower back pain
A dull ache, sharp or burning pain, and stiffness can make ordinary activities feel difficult. Tell us where you hurt, how long it has been happening, and which movements change your symptoms.
Aching, burning, or sharp pain
Lower back pain may stay in one spot or spread toward the hip or buttock. Lifting, bending, sitting, or standing can change how it feels.
Stiffness and limited movement
A stiff, aching back can make getting out of a chair, walking, or finishing a workday harder. We look at how your symptoms affect everyday function.
Symptoms that need medical care
New loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin, or severe or progressive leg weakness needs emergency evaluation. Seek prompt medical care for pain after a significant injury, fever, or unexplained weight loss.
Common causes of lower back pain
Pain may follow lifting or moving heavy objects, or appear without an obvious trigger. Muscles, ligaments, joints, discs, and nerves can all contribute.
Muscle strain and joint irritation
Overexertion, repetitive movement, and prolonged positions may strain the lower back. Sacroiliac joints connect the pelvis and spine; irritation there or in the spinal facet joints can also make movement uncomfortable.
Lumbar disc issues and spinal stenosis
Bulging or herniated discs and age-related changes may contribute to back or leg symptoms. Spinal stenosis is narrowing around the nerves and can cause symptoms with standing or walking. An examination helps determine whether further testing or medical care is needed.
New or persistent pain
Acute pain begins recently; pain lasting more than 12 weeks is commonly described as chronic. The duration and pattern of your symptoms help guide a plan. Pain alone does not mean your spine is out of alignment.

Treatment works best when it matches the source of your symptoms. The Paragon Method coordinates chiropractic care, decompression, and rehabilitation as needed. Your examination helps determine which options fit your lower back pain.
Chiropractic care for restricted spinal and pelvic movement
Best suited to: selected mechanical lower back pain associated with limited joint movement.
Chiropractic care may improve mobility and ease mechanical discomfort. Adjustments and gentler mobilization are chosen according to your condition and health history, with the goal of supporting comfortable everyday movement.
Spinal decompression for selected disc-related symptoms
Best suited to: some disc-related lower back symptoms or pain traveling into the leg.
Non-surgical spinal decompression uses controlled traction. Dr. Wiese may discuss it when the examination suggests an appropriate spinal concern. It is not needed for every sore back and does not guarantee that a disc will return to a particular position. Results vary.
SoftWave therapy for selected soft-tissue concerns
Best suited to: some persistent muscle, tendon, or surrounding soft-tissue complaints after evaluation.
Shockwave Thereapy (Softwave)may be considered when a suitable soft-tissue concern contributes to pain. It does not replace evaluation of nerve symptoms, fractures, or other medical conditions, and is often paired with appropriate exercise.
Guided exercise and daily movement advice
Best suited to: rebuilding strength, mobility, and confidence after pain or reduced activity.
Your care approach may include customized stretching and exercise. We tailor gradual movement and strengthening to your symptoms, then discuss lifting, sitting, and other daily demands so you can work toward your activity goals.
Common questions
Lower back pain chiropractic FAQs
Answers to common questions about lower back pain, movement, and chiropractic care at our West Omaha office.
Chiropractic care may help some muscle and joint-related lower back pain. At Life Source Chiropractic, Dr. Jason Wiese evaluates your symptoms before recommending hands-on care, exercise, or another next step.
Muscle strain, sacroiliac or facet joint irritation, disc problems, and spinal stenosis can contribute. Pain may begin after lifting or appear gradually. An examination helps distinguish these possibilities; pain alone cannot identify the cause.
We review your health history, symptoms, and activity goals, then assess movement and relevant muscle and nerve function. Dr. Wiese explains the findings and discusses whether chiropractic care or a referral is appropriate before you choose your next step.
Not everyone with lower back pain needs imaging. Your history and examination help determine whether X-rays or other tests are appropriate. We explain the reason if imaging or a medical evaluation is recommended.
Pain traveling from the lower back into the leg could involve a disc, an irritated nerve, or referred pain from a muscle. Symptoms alone do not confirm the cause. Further examination of your movement, strength, and sensation, together with your health history, can help identify the source and guide appropriate care.
