About this treatment

Neck & Back Pain Care

Chiropractic spinal care remains the cornerstone of everything we do at Valencia Chiropractic. Dr. Trapasso blends several evidence-based techniques to restore proper spinal alignment, reduce nerve interference, and return pain-free movement to patients dealing with neck pain, upper back tension, mid-back discomfort, and lower back dysfunction. High-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) chiropractic adjustments are the hallmark technique - delivering a precise, controlled force to a vertebral joint that has lost its normal range of motion, restoring mobility and reducing the mechanical irritation on adjacent nerves. For patients who prefer a gentler approach, instrument-assisted techniques such as Activator and Cox Flexion-Distraction provide equally effective results without the audible joint cavitation. Soft-tissue therapies including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) address the muscular component of spinal pain that adjustments alone cannot resolve. Dr. Trapasso prescribes individualized therapeutic exercises for home use between visits to reinforce spinal stability, improve postural endurance, and prevent early recurrence. The goal is never to create dependency on regular adjustments but to restore the spine to a self-supporting state.

What to expect at your session

Your first visit includes a full history, orthopedic and neurological exam, postural assessment, and review of any imaging. Dr. Trapasso will explain his findings and present a written care plan before any treatment begins.

Adjustments take 10 to 20 minutes. You may hear a pop - this is normal. Mild post-treatment soreness lasting 12 to 24 hours is common and typically resolves quickly.
