Real Help for Real People
Are you tired of waking up every morning with that nagging ache in your lower back? Or maybe you've been living with chronic back pain for so long that you've almost forgotten what it feels like to move freely?
You're not alone. Back pain is one of those things that seems to affect just about everyone at some point: and if you're reading this in Jacksonville, you've probably already realized that finding real back pain relief Jacksonville locals can trust isn't always as simple as it should be.
Here's the thing: you don't need to travel across town to some big, impersonal medical center. You don't need to wait weeks for an appointment. And you definitely don't need to feel like just another number in a system that doesn't really see you. At Ortega Chiropractic Clinic, Dr. Read and our team take a different approach. We're your neighbors, right here in Jacksonville, and we're committed to helping real people get real relief.
Why Back Pain Happens (And Why It Sticks Around)
Back pain can show up for a hundred different reasons. Maybe you lifted something heavy at work. Maybe you've been hunched over a desk for years. Maybe you slept wrong, or you were in a fender bender months ago and the pain never quite went away. Whatever the cause, your back is trying to tell you something. And ignoring it? That usually makes things worse.
The spine is complicated: it's got bones, discs, nerves, muscles, and ligaments all working together. When something gets out of alignment or a muscle gets too tight, the whole system can start to break down. And that's when the pain starts to interfere with your life.
You can't pick up your kids. You can't sit through a movie. You can't sleep through the night. It affects everything.
What Makes Jacksonville Care Different?
Look, you've got options in Jacksonville. There are plenty of places advertising back pain treatment. But here's what we've learned after years of serving this community: people want care that feels personal. They want to walk into a clinic and be greeted by name. They want a doctor who actually listens to their story and doesn't rush them out the door. They want treatment that's tailored to their specific situation: not some cookie-cutter approach that treats everyone the same way.
That's what Dr. Read provides at Ortega Chiropractic Clinic
Dr. Read isn't just going through the motions. He takes the time to understand what's going on with your back, what's causing your pain, and what your goals are. Because getting you out of pain isn't just about adjustments: it's about getting you back to living your life.
The Ortega Approach to Back Pain Relief
When you come to see us, we start with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Read will ask about your history, examine your spine, and work to identify the root cause of your back pain. Not just where it hurts, but why it hurts. From there, we create a personalized treatment plan. This might include:
Chiropractic Adjustments: Gentle, precise adjustments to realign your spine and take pressure off irritated nerves. This is what chiropractic care is known for: and it works.
Spinal Decompression: For certain conditions like herniated discs or sciatica, we may use spinal decompression techniques to gently stretch the spine and create space for healing.
Lifestyle Guidance: Sometimes back pain is related to how you move, sit, or sleep. Dr. Read can give you practical advice on how to protect your back in your everyday life.
The goal isn't just to get you feeling better for a few days. It's to help you heal and stay healthy for the long term.
We Treat All Kinds of Back Pain
Back pain comes in many forms, and we've seen just about all of them here in Jacksonville. Some of the most common conditions we treat include:
Lower Back Pain: By far the most common complaint. Whether it's dull and achy or sharp and stabbing, we can help
Sciatica: That shooting pain down your leg that makes it hard to stand or walk? That's often sciatica, and chiropractic care can provide real relief.
Herniated or Bulging Discs: When the cushions between your vertebrae get damaged, they can press on nerves and cause significant pain. We specialize in non-surgical treatment for disc issues.
Muscle Strain and Spasms: Sometimes your back pain is muscular. We can help those tight, painful muscles relax and heal.
Degenerative Disc Disease: As we age, our spinal discs naturally wear down. While we can't turn back the clock, we can help manage the pain and keep you mobile.
Chronic Back Pain: If you've been dealing with back pain for months or even years, don't give up. Many of our patients have found relief even when other treatments failed.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Chronic Back Pain: If you've been dealing with back pain for months or even years, don't give up. Many of our patients have found relief even when other treatments failed.
Here's how a typical visit works at Ortega Chiropractic Clinic:
First, you'll meet with Dr. Read for a consultation. He'll ask about your symptoms, your medical history, and how your back pain is affecting your daily life. This is your chance to tell your story and ask questions.
Next, Dr. Read will perform a physical examination. He'll check your posture, range of motion, and spine alignment. He may also do some neurological and orthopedic tests to get a complete picture of what's going on.
Once Dr. Read understands your condition, he'll explain his findings in plain English: no confusing medical jargon. He'll walk you through a recommended treatment plan and answer any questions you have.
If you're ready to start treatment that same day, we can usually accommodate that. If you need time to think about it, that's fine too. We're here when you're ready.
