Lower back pain is the worst. It messes with your sleep, your mood, and sometimes even your ability to get out of the car without groaning like you’re 90. The good news? You don’t have to live with it. At Shippy Chiropractic in Plano, we help people feel better fast—without meds, surgery, or weird gadgets from late-night infomercials.
Why Is My Back Like This?
Fair question. Most of the folks I see in the office are dealing with back pain from things like:
- Sitting too long at a desk (hi, WFH people)
- Disc issues like bulges or herniations
- Sciatica (aka that nerve pain shooting down your leg)
- Auto accidents
- Lifting things that were clearly too heavy (we’ve all done it)
Sometimes the pain creeps in slowly. Sometimes it shows up out of nowhere.
Either way, we’ve got options.
What a Chiropractor Actually Does (Besides Crack Backs)
Spoiler: it’s not just “popping” things.
Here’s how we treat back pain in our Plano office:
1. Gentle Adjustments
This is what we’re known for. Adjustments restore motion to stuck joints and help your body stop overreacting to every little thing.
2. Class IV Laser Therapy
Think of this as light therapy for deep inflammation. It helps your body heal faster and just feels good. No needles, no heat—just results.
3. Spinal Decompression
Got a disc problem? Nerve pain? We’ve got a table for that. This therapy gently stretches your spine, which takes pressure off the discs and nerves. It’s a fan favorite.
4. Muscle & Nerve Therapies
We also use electric stimulation, light stretching, and other tools to help your body reset and relax.
“How Many Visits Do I Need?”
You’re not alone—this is the question everyone asks. And honestly? It depends.
Here’s a general idea:
- Early relief: 2-4 visits/week for a couple of weeks
- Rebuilding phase: 1-2 visits/week while we add rehab exercises
- Maintenance: Monthly check-ins to keep things running smoothly
Some people bounce back fast. Others take more time. We’ll tailor it to you and check in as we go.
“I’ve Had This Pain Forever… Can You Still Help?”
Yes. Chronic back pain is stubborn, but we see it all the time. If you’ve already tried physical therapy, pain meds, or just toughing it out—chiropractic might be the missing piece.
Got old X-rays or an MRI? Bring them in. Don’t have any? No problem. We can take spinal X-rays here if needed.
Insurance, Costs & All That
We accept most major insurance plans. Our team will check your benefits and explain everything up front. No surprise bills, no pressure. If you don’t have coverage, we’ve got affordable cash options too.
Real Talk From Plano Patients
Here’s what I hear all the time:
- “I slept through the night for the first time in months.”
- “I didn’t think anything would help my sciatica—then I came here.”
- “It’s just nice to have a chiropractor who actually listens.”
(These are real quotes—just cleaned up a bit for the internet.)

Or just won’t go away…
