AS SPORTS CHIROPRACTORS

our treatment goes far beyond the simple chiropractic adjustment, working into the muscles, fascia, ligaments, and tendons that are affected. Our goal is to find out why it hurts and not just to treat what hurts. Let's get to the root of your problem together.

BACK PAIN SUFFERERS

Are you struggling with chronic back pain, or have you recently been injured & can't perform the activities you're passionate about?

Your back provides mobility for everyday activities, such as twisting, bending, and supports the pelvis and hips during movements like walking.

The most common reason patients come to us:
  • Sports-related injuries

  • Sciatica and other nerve injuries

  • Bulging, or herniated discs

  • Neck pain and headaches

  • Pregnancy

NECK PAIN INJURIES & DISCOMFORT

Around 80% of adults experience neck pain, and half of these individuals experience chronic neck pain.

Are you experiencing painful & uncomfortable symptoms such as:

  • Aching in the neck and upper back

  • Pain or numbness in the upper back or arms

  • Tightness at the base of the skull

  • Sharp, electric-like sensations down the arm

  • Tightness in the sides of the neck into the shoulder

  • Headaches

JH Backcountry Health Chiropractic Services

If neck pain interferes with your ability to hit the trails, slopes, and roads or simply work and engage in your usual routines and leisure activities, we strongly recommend scheduling an appointment. During your visit, we diagnose and treat your pain so you can get back to your daily routine. Whether it’s sharp or dull, aching, severe, or just annoying, put an end to the discomfort today!

OUR APPROACH TO BACK PAIN RELIEF

Adjusting the low back and pelvis can help greatly with the nerve root impingement that causes sciatica. Addressing the muscles and fascia using Active Release Techniques and other muscle work can free up the sciatic nerve as it travels down the leg. As sports chiropractors, we also look at your posture and movement patterns to find out what caused the irritation and give you exercises and stretches so you can avoid having it occur again. 

HEADACHES

Headaches can be debilitating and prevent you from performing at your best. Understand the cause of your migraines or headaches and steer clear of them. We diagnose the triggers and set a consistent routine of treatment so you can check that painful feel off your list. Our chiropractors have the tools and tests available to diagnose and treat the root cause of your pain.

Chiropractic Care vs. NSAIDS for Headaches

NSAIDS sometimes do the trick for reducing pain quickly, however they do little to address the cause of the headache. If you get headaches once in a blue moon, you are less likely to see a chiropractor for a headache. If you are getting headaches daily or several days a week, it is time to see a chiropractor who can help you figure out why you have repeated headaches, work to alleviate them, and can help you learn what to do so the headaches do not return as often.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEADACHES

  • Joints of the cervical (neck) spine

  • Jaw/TMJ related headaches

  • Sinus related headaches

  • Nerves of the head and neck

  • Neck and head muscles

  • Areas of the brain

  • Migraine

  • Tension-Type Headaches

WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING:

I highly recommend Dr. Wright. He not only cares about his patients and work, he diligently listens to the patient to determine the best courses of action for healing. Dr. Wright has worked with me on some neck/upper spine issues with great success. He has provided exercises for me to continue my therapy between appointments. I am very impressed with Dr. Wright.

JOEL V.

Dr Tyler and Dr Laura are amazing! I didn’t really know what I was doing when I went in for lower back pain, so I was a little nervous. He explained everything so well throughout the entire session and made me feel so comfortable. He really knows what he is doing and I’m so excited to work with him! Highly recommend this place

KASSIE H.

Received a fabulous, precise adjustment today. Started with a bit of muscle work (reminded me of myofascial) and ended with some exercises to help maintain the adjustment. My uncle and cousin have been my chiropractors since birth, so I was picky/nervous about finding care out here. Glad I found JH Backcountry Health
