Effective, evidence-based chiropractic care for lower back pain, disc issues, and spinal problems in Ponte Vedra Beach — with Saturday hours available.
If you're dealing with back pain in Ponte Vedra Beach, you're not alone. Back pain is the leading cause of disability in adults under 45, and most cases — whether from a muscle strain, a disc problem, or years of sitting at a desk — respond very well to chiropractic care.
At TeleChiro Florida, Dr. Branden Race, DC performs a thorough evaluation on your first visit to identify the specific cause of your back pain. Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Your care plan is built around your condition, your goals, and your schedule — including same-week appointments and Saturday hours for working patients.
Not all back pain is the same. Dr. Race identifies the underlying cause before developing a treatment plan.
Muscle or ligament strain from lifting, twisting, or overexertion is the most common back pain cause. Chiropractic care reduces inflammation, restores range of motion, and helps the injury heal properly instead of compensating in ways that cause chronic problems.
A herniated or bulging disc can press on spinal nerves, causing local back pain and pain that radiates into the leg (sciatica). Spinal manipulation and decompression techniques reduce nerve pressure and support the disc's natural healing process.
The facet joints connect vertebrae and guide spinal movement. When they become restricted, stiff, or irritated — often from poor posture or repetitive motion — you get sharp, localized pain that worsens with bending or twisting. Targeted manipulation restores normal joint function.
Prolonged sitting, especially with poor ergonomics, loads the lumbar spine in ways it isn't designed to sustain for hours. This is increasingly common in remote workers. Treatment addresses both the joint dysfunction and the muscular imbalances that develop over time.
Car accidents commonly cause lower back injuries even at low speeds. Florida's 14-day rule means you should seek evaluation as soon as possible after an accident to preserve your PIP and personal injury rights. Dr. Race documents injuries properly for PI cases.
The SI joint connects the pelvis to the spine and is a frequently overlooked cause of lower back and buttock pain. It is often misidentified as a disc problem. Specific SI joint manipulation and stabilization exercises are very effective for this condition.
A structured, evidence-based process — not cookie-cutter care.
Your first visit includes a health history, orthopedic and neurological testing, range of motion assessment, and postural analysis. Dr. Race determines the specific structure causing your pain — not a guess.
You'll receive a clear explanation of your diagnosis, how long treatment typically takes for your condition, what services are recommended, and what your costs will be. No surprises.
Treatment typically includes spinal manipulation, manual therapy to address soft tissue restrictions, and targeted therapeutic exercise. Some cases also include electrical muscle stimulation. Each session focuses on measurable improvement.
Outcomes are tracked throughout your care plan. If you're not progressing as expected, the treatment approach is re-evaluated. Dr. Race coordinates with your primary care physician or specialists when appropriate.
Same-week appointments available. Call, text, or book online. Saturday hours available for working patients.
