Magnolia Natural Health Provides Back Pain Help

Lower back pain help begins with an evaluation. At your free consultation, we identify the primary condition causing you pain and strategize the best treatment options for you.

Treatment for Back Pain & Other Symptoms Begins With Dialogue

We won’t begin treating you without talking to you first.

If you just want immediate relief for your pain, there are other, long-term and not necessarily efficient methods of back treatment.

Burbank chiropractor Dr. Alfred Sadanaga employs a completely different method, one that identifies the root source of your problem. And that begins with a dialogue about your secondary pain symptoms and what you’ve done in the past to find relief for those symptoms.

This is an initial consultation—an opportunity for you to describe your pain, what you think is causing it, and your medical history. Are you concerned about your weight and how it affects your lower back? Were you involved in a work place injury or auto accident? Were you in relatively good health until you felt something “pull,” and now need help getting back to “normal”?

The answers to all of these questions and seemingly unrelated symptoms like frequent headaches and migraines, sciatica flare-ups, chronic high blood pressure and more are important details that should be addressed.

Dr. Sadanaga will then explain the treatment options that best fit your case. If you feel he can help you, you will be scheduled for a complete examination before treatment for back pain or neck injury actually begins.

Remember, the initial consultation is simply a way for you and the doctor to decide if you are a good fit for chiropractic care at Magnolia Natural Health. And there is no charge for this “getting to know you” session.

If you are a good candidate for structural correction or other treatments, Dr. Sadanaga will then explain the chiropractic or nutritional options that provide the best remedies for you. If you feel he can help you, you will be scheduled for a complete examination before treatment for back pain actually begins.

At your examination, Dr. Sadanaga will give you a full work-up to truly identify the primary condition that triggers your pain. This will involve X-rays, and visual evaluations of your posture—along with range-of-motion or stress tests. Once he pinpoints the root problem of your condition, Dr. Sadanaga can begin the proper course of treatment.

A great majority of the back and neck symptoms that we see at Magnolia Natural Health are caused by Anterior Head Syndrome (AHS), a structural problem in the spinal column that is usually caused by repetitive stresses. If you spend too much time sitting in front of a computer or have a very long commute, you may very well suffer from AHS. Others who have this condition get it from spending too much time reading or watching television in odd positions.

As we get older, it becomes more and more important to maintain proper sitting and sleeping positions to avoid AHS in the future. Our joints and bones wear down, or they get “locked” into unhealthy and habitual arrangements. If you already have AHS, you may not know it, but you will definitely feel it. Dr. Sadanaga can correct your primary condition, and advise you on how to avoid AHS in the future.
