What causes back pain?
Back pain can stem from herniated or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, muscle strains, ligament sprains, facet joint dysfunction, and scoliosis. Poor posture, sedentary lifestyle, repetitive movements, and workplace ergonomics also play significant roles. At OC Wellness, our physicians perform thorough diagnostic evaluations to identify the root cause rather than simply masking symptoms.
What treatments are available for back pain at OC Wellness?
Our multidisciplinary approach includes chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy and rehabilitative exercise, acupuncture and dry needling, spinal decompression therapy, massage therapy, and interventional pain management including epidural steroid injections and trigger point injections. This integrated model means you receive coordinated care from multiple specialists rather than fragmented treatment.
Is chiropractic care effective for back pain and spinal stenosis?
Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the most evidence-supported conservative treatments for back pain. For spinal stenosis, chiropractic adjustments help reduce pressure on compressed nerves, improve spinal alignment, and restore mobility. Our chiropractors use diversified, Gonstead, and flexion-distraction techniques — choosing the method best suited to your diagnosis and comfort level.
Do you accept personal injury liens for back pain from auto accidents?
Yes. OC Wellness accepts personal injury liens, meaning you can receive full treatment for accident-related back pain with no out-of-pocket cost until your case settles. We work with personal injury attorneys throughout Orange County and document your injuries thoroughly to support your claim.
How long does back pain treatment take?
Acute back pain from a recent injury may resolve in 4-8 weeks with consistent care. Chronic conditions such as spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease typically require a longer-term management plan. After your initial evaluation, our team provides a personalized treatment timeline with clear milestones.
Does OC Wellness accept insurance for back pain treatment?
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Medicare, and many others. Our team verifies your benefits before your first appointment. New patients benefit from our $37 new patient special.
What should I expect at my first back pain appointment?
Your first visit includes a comprehensive intake consultation, orthopedic and neurological examination, postural analysis, and a review of any existing imaging. If additional imaging is needed, we facilitate referrals. Based on your exam findings, our team develops a personalized multidisciplinary treatment plan and can begin care the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Back Pain
Can back pain be treated without surgery?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. More than 90% of back pain patients achieve significant relief through conservative care including chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture, and pain management. Surgery is typically considered only after conservative treatments have been exhausted.
Is it safe to exercise with back pain?
Appropriate exercise is generally beneficial — complete bed rest is not recommended for most back pain. Our physical therapists prescribe a customized exercise program that strengthens supportive muscles without aggravating your condition.
What is spinal stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. It most commonly occurs in the lumbar and cervical regions and can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. Conservative treatment including chiropractic, decompression therapy, and physical therapy can effectively manage stenosis symptoms.
Does acupuncture help with back pain?
Yes. Acupuncture is recognized by the American College of Physicians as an effective treatment for chronic low back pain. Our licensed acupuncturists integrate needling techniques with our overall treatment plan to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and modulate pain signals.
How is OC Wellness different from a single-specialty clinic?
OC Wellness provides chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, and interventional pain management under one roof with coordinated care plans. This means faster results, better communication between providers, and one convenient location for all your needs.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor for back pain?
No referral is needed. Call us directly at (714) 735-0313 or book online. We will verify your insurance benefits before your visit.
What is the $37 first visit special?
Our $37 new patient special includes a comprehensive consultation and initial examination — a full evaluation and diagnosis for $37. It applies to new patients at all OC Wellness locations.
