If you need back pain treatment in Germantown, WI, start by finding out why your back hurts. At Yentz Family Chiropractic we look at your spine and how you move first. Then we tell you what we found and what we suggest. You are not signing up for a package on day one.
Most low back pain comes from the joints, the discs, or the muscles in the lower back. Often it is more than one. At your first visit we ask about your history, watch how you bend and twist, and check your posture. We also look at any scans you already have. We have digital X-ray in the office, and we only take X-rays when the exam shows we need them.
Low back trouble can also show up as pain in the hip or buttock. If your pain sits there, tell us. It is often linked to the same area of the spine.
Care usually starts with chiropractic adjustments, which are gentle, specific moves that help stiff joints work better. Depending on what we find, we may add soft tissue work and simple exercises you can do at home. If a disc is part of the problem, we may suggest spinal decompression on our DOC table. Your exam decides the plan.
Some back pain is not a spine problem. If that is your case, we will say so and point you to the right provider. Read more about our back pain care.
If the pain runs down your leg, you may have a pinched or irritated nerve. See our page on sciatica treatment in Germantown. If a disc is the cause, read about herniated disc care. Pain that has lasted for months may fit chronic pain care.
An adjustment takes a few minutes. Most of your time with us is the exam at the start and a short check at later visits to see how you are moving. We may give you a stretch or two to do at home. At each stage we tell you what we see, so you know whether things are getting better.
Go to the emergency room if back pain comes with loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness between the legs, new weakness in a leg, fever, or pain after a serious fall or crash.

Yes, if the pain has lasted more than a few days or keeps coming back and you have no emergency signs. We examine you first and tell you if your problem needs care outside our office.
We go over your history and symptoms, examine your back, and explain what we found. If care is a good fit, we go over the plan before you start.
Only when the exam says they are needed. We have digital X-ray in the office. If you already have scans, bring them.
It depends on the cause and how long you have had the pain. Some people feel a change in the first few visits and others need longer. We track your progress and adjust the plan.
