Low Back Pain Relief in Orem

Get to the Root of Your Low Back Pain

If your low back pain is interfering with work, exercise, or simply enjoying time with your family, you know how frustrating it can be to not find real answers. At Timpview Chiropractic, Dr. Spencer Erickson understands that back pain isn’t just about discomfort—it’s about your quality of life. The truth is that low back pain rarely appears out of nowhere.

Even when you can point to a specific event—lifting something heavy or that car accident weeks ago—the real problem usually existed long before that triggering moment. Dr. Erickson uses diagnostic X-rays to look deeper than your symptoms, identifying old injuries in your spine that have been present for years or even decades, just waiting for the right stress to push them into pain.

Why Your Body Finally Said “Enough”

Your body is remarkably good at keeping you out of pain for as long as possible. It compensates, adjusts, and works around problems to keep you moving. But by the time you actually feel back pain, significant underlying issues often exist. Those degenerative changes visible on your X-rays didn’t happen overnight—they represent your body slowly moving from self-healing to self-destructive patterns.

Dr. Erickson often tells patients there’s frequently a “time disconnect” with back pain. You might have been in a fender bender three weeks ago and only now started experiencing pain. The triggering event didn’t cause the problem—it simply stressed an already-injured area past your body’s ability to compensate.

The Right Diagnosis Leads to Real Solutions

At Timpview Chiropractic in Orem, you won’t receive guesswork or one-size-fits-all treatment. Dr. Erickson uses X-rays to identify the specific injured segment in your spine, then adjusts that exact location repeatedly to rehabilitate the injury. This precision is why his patients often experience results where other treatments have failed.

Most patients notice symptom improvement relatively quickly when the correct spinal segment is identified and treated. However, Dr. Erickson believes in honest communication about the difference between feeling better and being healed. Full rehabilitation requires commitment to multiple visits per week over several weeks because you’re not just chasing pain relief—you’re changing patterns established for years.

Experience Care That Respects Your Time

Dr. Erickson’s practice is built on efficiency, warmth, and genuine connection. From your paperwork sent via text to your streamlined appointments, every aspect respects your busy schedule. When Dr. Erickson sits down with you, he sets his iPad aside, makes eye contact, and truly listens to your story.

You’ll see your own X-rays, understand exactly what’s causing your back pain, and know why your personalized treatment plan will work. Many patients say they finally feel like someone took the time to really figure out what was wrong instead of just offering temporary symptom relief.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take to feel better?

Many patients experience symptom improvement relatively quickly once Dr. Erickson identifies and begins adjusting the correct spinal segment. However, symptom relief and complete healing are different. While you may feel better within days or weeks, fully rehabilitating an old injury requires several weeks of consistent care.

Do I really need X-rays for back pain?

X-rays are essential for identifying the precise location and severity of the injury causing your pain. Without them, treatment is essentially guesswork. The X-rays also show degenerative changes that indicate how long the problem has been developing, helping Dr. Erickson create an appropriate treatment plan for your specific condition.

How often will I need appointments?

Initially, most patients with chronic issues need multiple visits per week for several weeks. This frequency is necessary because you’re changing patterns that have been established over years. Dr. Erickson will show you your X-ray findings and explain exactly why a specific care schedule is recommended. The goal is complete rehabilitation, not just temporary symptom management.
