What customers say about our Back pain
“Best Chiropractor and staff! Dr. Chatfield has helped heal my body on numerous occasions. Pinch nerve in neck, scoliosis, tailbone out of place from sitting on my feet, SI joint injury, and back pain. I have ventured to other chiropractors closer to where I live with no luck. I always ended up going back to Dr. Chatfield. He is well worth the drive to get my body back in alignment and pain free. Blessed to have found a gifted, kind, caring Chiropractor.”

FAQ
Back pain treatment in Bedford, TX questions
Still have questions? Call us any day and ask.
When should I see someone for back pain?
MedlinePlus says to call your health care provider if back pain is severe or does not improve after three days, and to get medical attention for back pain that follows an injury. Loss of bladder or bowel control, or new weakness or numbness in a leg, needs care right away.
Should I rest in bed?
Not for long. MedlinePlus notes that staying in bed for more than one or two days can make back pain worse. Gentle movement, and the home exercises and stretches we give you, usually help more.
Can you help with sciatica?
Sciatica is a symptom of pressure on or damage to the sciatic nerve, often from a herniated disc or narrowing of the spinal canal. We look for the cause at your exam. Care may include adjustments and spinal decompression. Read our sciatica basics article for the warning signs.
