Back pain has a way of stopping you in your tracks—whether it’s a dull ache that lingers or a sharp pain that makes even simple movements a challenge. At Kocken Chiropractic in De Pere, Dr. Alex Kocken helps patients find relief and get back to living without constant discomfort holding them back.
Why Back Pain Happens
Back pain can come on suddenly from lifting something the wrong way or build slowly over time from poor posture, stress, or repetitive movements. Common causes include:
- Muscle strain or tension
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Joint irritation in the spine
- Nerve compression or sciatica
- Sports or work-related injuries
Sometimes the pain stays in the lower back. Other times, it can spread into the hips, legs, or even up toward the shoulders.
How Chiropractic Helps
Dr. Kocken takes a hands-on, drug-free approach to care. Using gentle spinal adjustments, he works to restore proper alignment, reduce pressure on irritated nerves, and improve the way your body moves. This not only helps relieve pain but can also address the root of the problem so it doesn’t keep coming back.
Along with adjustments, your care plan may include stretching or strengthening exercises, lifestyle tips, and ways to improve posture at work or home. The goal is to give your body the best chance to heal and prevent future flare-ups.
A Personalized Approach
No two cases of back pain are exactly alike. That’s why every patient at Kocken Chiropractic gets a personalized care plan based on their specific needs, activity level, and health goals. Whether your pain is new or something you’ve been dealing with for years, Dr. Kocken will work with you to find a path forward.
