    Chronic Lower Back Pain: Breaking the Cycle

    If your lower back pain has lasted more than 12 weeks, it's chronic — and the approach needs to change. At Indian Trail Chiropractic & Rehab, Dr. Cameron Gentile addresses the structural and neurological factors that keep chronic back pain cycling.

    Why Chronic Back Pain Persists

    1. Structural misalignment creates repetitive stress
    2. Muscle guarding patterns become habitual
    3. Central sensitization — the nervous system becomes hypersensitive
    4. Deconditioning — avoiding movement creates weakness

    The Indian Trail Protocol

    • Spinal adjustments to restore joint mechanics
    • Spinal decompression for disc-related chronic pain
    • Progressive corrective exercises to rebuild core stability
    • Biomechanical retraining to address perpetuating patterns
