Get back pain relief through non-invasive treatment methods.
Back pain can be crippling, making it difficult to drive, work, and exercise. It is a common problem that can reduce your mobility and impact your day-to-day activity. Thankfully, most back pain improves with rest and conservative treatment.
If you suffer from regular back pain or have recently been injured, it is important to consult a healthcare professional so that they may guide you in proper treatment.
At his Brentwood practice, Dr. Sheps offers a range of therapies that are designed to treat back pain for Los Angeles patients, reduce associated inflammation, and support you in your recovery.
Common back pain often results from muscle strain, poor posture, prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, or awkward movements during daily activities. It can affect the upper, middle, or lower back and may range from a dull ache to sharp, intense discomfort.
In many cases, early intervention with non-invasive therapies can help alleviate symptoms, improve mobility, and prevent the pain from becoming chronic.
Every body is different, so injuries and conditions can affect people in unique ways. After evaluating your condition, Dr. Sheps will recommend a personalized treatment plan. As a certified McKenzie practitioner, he also provides at-home care techniques to support your recovery.
Depending on your needs, Dr. Sheps may recommend one or more treatments.

Make an appointment with Dr. Sheps if your back pain doesn’t improve with at-home treatments like ice, rest, and activity changes. That’s especially true if your pain gets worse and affects your ability to work or do other routine activities.

Dr. Sheps treats various causes of back pain, including:

Dr. Sheps reviews your medical records and asks about your symptoms, including where the pain is, what it feels like, and if it gets worse when you stand or drive. Dr. Sheps examines your spine from your lower back to the base of your skull, checking for redness, bruising, and swelling. He gently presses on your spine to identify sensitive places and assesses your posture, muscle strength, and flexibility. Dr. Sheps orders X-rays to see your vertebrae. He might also do an ultrasound to examine your intervertebral discs, spinal tissues, and nerves.
Dr. Sheps takes a conservative, noninvasive approach to treating back pain. He could suggest:
Most back pain responds to a combination of two or more treatments. Dr. Sheps monitors your symptoms at regular checkups and adjusts your care as needed.
Back pain can’t be prevented, but you can do various things to reduce your risk. Dr. Sheps recommends exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and practicing good posture. If you regularly lift things at work, bend your knees and keep your back straight. Call the office of Michael Sheps, DC, today to schedule back pain treatment, or book your visit online.
