Why Resting And Chiropractic Won’t Fix Your Chronic Back Pain (And What Will)

Chronic back pain can feel like a never-ending cycle. You’ve tried the usual approaches, rest, painkillers, maybe even a few adjustments, but the pain keeps coming back. Sound familiar? If you live in Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, or any of the surrounding towns in the Chippewa Valley, you're not alone.

Many people in the area struggle with back pain that doesn’t seem to go away despite trying various treatments.

But here’s the good news: Resting and waiting for pain to go away doesn’t work long-term. The key to overcoming chronic back pain lies in movement-based rehab, strengthening your body, and addressing imbalances that lead to injury.

The Problem with Traditional Treatments:

When you go to a chiropractor for back pain, what often happens? You get an adjustment, feel temporarily better, but the pain returns. Why?

Because adjustments alone don’t address the root cause

they’re a quick fix, not a long-term solution.

Similarly, resting and avoiding movement can sometimes seem like a good option, but over time, it weakens the muscles and structures that support your spine. You might get short-term relief, but the pain can return when you’re back to normal activities.

So, What Actually Works?

At Chippewa Valley Movement, we take a different approach. Instead of just managing your pain, we focus on restoring movement, building strength, and teaching you how to move safely.

Our philosophy combines movement-based rehabilitation, strength training, and patient education—something traditional chiropractic care often misses.

Here’s what our approach looks like:

1. Movement Assessments:We start by identifying the underlying causes of your pain through detailed movement assessments. This allows us to create a customized plan that targets the root issues instead of just masking symptoms.

2. Strength & Stability Training:Chronic back pain often stems from weak muscles or poor posture. We design specific strength-building exercises to stabilize your spine and improve core control, giving you the long-term stability you need to stay pain-free.

3. Breathwork & Core Control: Breathwork and core engagement are vital for maintaining spinal health. We teach you how to properly activate your core, ensuring your spine stays supported throughout the day.

4. Patient Education:We believe education is power. We empower you with the tools to take control of your body and prevent future injuries. Our goal is to make you less reliant on quick fixes and more confident in your ability to manage and prevent pain on your own.
