Many people are treated for back pain without ever being properly evaluated. They’re told it’s “just a muscle strain,” given rest or medication, and sent on their way — only to have the pain come back weeks or months later.

In this episode of Ask the Chiropractor, Dr. Brant Hulsebus explains how chiropractors in Rockford actually diagnose back pain and why missing this step is the most common reason pain becomes recurring or chronic. You’ll learn what chiropractors look for beyond symptoms, including joint motion, nerve stress, compensation patterns, and lifestyle factors — and why proper diagnosis changes outcomes.

If your back pain keeps coming back or never fully feels resolved, this episode will help you understand what may have been missed.

Learn why treating muscles alone fails — and how chiropractic care fixes the cause instead of covering up symptoms.

If your back pain never fully resolves or keeps returning, this episode will help you understand why.
