Back Pain Relief in Libertyville

Back pain can make even the simplest activities—sitting, standing, working, or sleeping—feel impossible. It’s one of the most common problems people face, and also one of the most rewarding to fix. Many patients with sciatica also report lower back pain that radiates down the leg

At Community Chiropractic Care, Dr. Steve Segal takes a unique ground-up approach: evaluating your feet, posture, and spine mechanics to find out why you hurt, not just where. The goal? Fast, affordable relief—usually in just 1–3 visits.

Why Back Pain Happens

Your spine is the central support system of your body. When it’s under stress, pain follows.
Common causes of back pain in Libertyville patients include:

  • Prolonged sitting at desks or in cars

  • Poor posture or slouching at work/home

  • Stress-tightening muscles

  • Heavy lifting or weekend yard work

  • Sports injuries or falls

  • Foot mechanics (flat feet, worn shoes)

Just like tire wear on a car shows alignment problems, your shoes and posture often reveal why your back hurts.

How Chiropractic Helps

Chiropractic adjustments restore motion to stiff joints, calm irritated nerves, and reset your body’s balance. With over 36 years of experience (and trust from pro athletes, actors, and over 50 three-generation families), Dr. Segal knows how to pinpoint the cause and help you feel better quickly.

Our approach includes:

  • Gentle spinal adjustments

  • Soft tissue therapy for tight muscles

  • Ground-up evaluation (feet, gait, posture)

  • A personalized home healing plan (3 simple actions after your first visit)

No long-term contracts. No 12- 70-treatment packages chiropractors are famous for. Just honest, visit-by-visit care.

According to clinical research published in PubMed, chiropractic spinal manipulation is a proven, evidence-based treatment for acute and chronic low back pain.
