Back Pain Care in Sturgis

When back pain makes it hard to work, sleep, or care for your family, life takes more effort than it should. At Key City Chiropractic & Acupuncture, Dr. Al Gunderson, Dr. Jerrid Goebel, and our team focus first on calming your pain so you can get through the day, then look for what’s actually causing the problem.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Back Pain

Chiropractic care restores normal motion in joints and muscles that aren’t working the way they should. Gentle spinal adjustments improve movement in stiff joints so your back can move more freely and comfortably. Muscle stimulation uses mild electrical currents to relax tight muscles and calm irritated nerves. Soft tissue therapy uses precise hands-on or instrument-assisted work to release muscle knots and adhesions. Together, these approaches reduce pain, improve flexibility, and support long-term healing.

Back Pain Issues We Commonly See

Before building a plan, we take time to understand how your back pain affects work, sleep, and daily activities. Problems we frequently help with include:

Sudden back pain that seemed to come “out of nowhere”
Ongoing aching or stiffness in the low or mid back
Pain tied to long days at a desk, driving, or physical work

Back pain related to herniated or irritated discs
Pain that limits bending, twisting, or lifting

What to Expect From Back Pain Care

Most new patients receive their history, exam, and first session in the same 30-45 minute visit. Some feel relief after that first visit, while others notice more change within the first few. On average, we expect patients to see clear improvement somewhere in the 3-6 visit range. As your pain improves, we’ll add simple home exercises to build core strength and help your results last. If we suspect something more serious, we follow accepted imaging guidelines and can coordinate X-rays through nearby providers.
