Comprehensive Lower Back Pain Treatment in Rhode Island
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. Whether the pain is caused by a herniated disc, muscle strain, or poor posture, DeCrescenzo Chiropractic offers personalized, non-invasive treatments tailored to your specific needs. As part of our Spine Injury care, we focus on addressing the root cause of your pain and developing a treatment plan that delivers long-term results.
What Causes Lower Back Pain?
Lower back pain can arise from various causes, including muscle strain, spinal misalignments, herniated discs, or degenerative conditions like arthritis. Some of the most common causes include:
- Muscle or ligament strain: Overexertion, improper lifting, or repetitive movements can cause strain on the muscles or ligaments, leading to pain.
- Herniated Discs: When the discs between the vertebrae become damaged, they can compress nearby nerves, causing lower back pain.
- Poor Posture: Sitting or standing with poor posture for extended periods can put extra strain on the lower back, leading to discomfort.
Chiropractic Care for Lower Back Pain in Rhode Island
At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we specialize in chiropractic treatments that address the underlying causes of lower back pain. Our skilled chiropractors will evaluate your condition and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs, whether your pain is acute or chronic. Our goal is to relieve your pain and restore your function so you can return to your daily activities without discomfort.

Spinal Manipulation
Spinal manipulation, or chiropractic adjustment, is a hands-on technique to realign the vertebrae in the spine. By restoring proper spinal alignment, it can reduce nerve compression and irritation, a common contributor to lower back pain. This technique may help alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall back function.

Decompression
Decompression therapy gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This can help reduce pressure on the nerves in the lower back, alleviating pain and promoting healing.

Class IV Hot Laser Therapy
Class IV Hot Laser Therapy uses high-intensity laser energy to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in the affected lower back area. The laser energy increases blood circulation and promotes cellular regeneration, which can help reduce pain, numbness, and tingling associated with lower back pain.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy utilizes high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce lower back pain. The sound waves trigger the body's natural healing response, helping to break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote the growth of new blood vessels for long-term pain relief.

Electro Muscle Stimulation
Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions in the lower back. This can help strengthen lower back muscles, providing support and stability to the lower back, improving posture, and reducing pain. EMS can also improve blood circulation and reduce muscle spasms for additional pain relief.
Symptoms of Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain can present in different ways depending on the cause. Common symptoms include:
- Dull, aching pain in the lower back
- Sharp, shooting pain that radiates down the leg (sciatica)
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion
- Difficulty standing, walking, or sitting for long periods
- Numbness or tingling in the legs or feet
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, DeCrescenzo Chiropractic can help. Our chiropractors will assess your condition and develop a treatment plan to alleviate your pain and restore mobility.

So my story:
I had a bad car accident back in 2017 that fractured my left wrist, one of my ribs, my neck seized up and couldent move it to the left, and did something to my lower back where later on it went out where it was consistently going out of alignment. Think of you back as an upside down T, as the ( --- ) is the hips/waist and the ( | ) as the spine. My Spine is a (《 ) and my hips is ( / ), higher on one side then the other. This has caused excessive pain at some points. 8 years later I'm still going for monthly maintenance to keep everything in check. My neck can move after a few treatments and I still get the "rice crispy cereal popping sound" but I don't think that'll ever go away but it's jot as loud and I can move my neck. My lower back is the stubborn problem at this point.
They started doing the shockwave therapy maybe a few years ago at this point and I was a difficult patient to get to try it with all the adjustments and the money I was spending when my back would flare up and really be out of alignment and sometimes have 3 visits a week. I gave in and started the shockwave which made them so happy, and myself after. It was night an day difference. Now I know if I have a flairup that option is there. Due to how well the shockwave treatment works, I have not had many flairups because it works. It breaks down the swelling, inflammation, scar tissue, increases blood flow...etc. My muscles are not pulling my waist as tight in one direction anymore.
Now my most recent issue which one would think why the Chiropractor for this. I woke up the other week and couldent walk on my foot. Thought I stepped wrong at work and pulled a muscle. Over a few days it swelled and got worse. I ended up calling the office to get in for Shockwave knowing it helped my back before. I had, and have, Edema in my right foot, ankle, and calf. It was swollen. Like a balloon. They did the shock and Dr Chris told me to still see my primary which I did and found the reason for it and treating that as well. The Shockwave therapy REMOVED AND DRAINED THE EDEMA!!!! It's not a one time fix due to the cause of the Edema but just had another treatment and still a few more to go. The progress is amazing. I'll upload the before and after pic and you can determine yourself. It's just WOW!
Like i said, I love the treatment, the staff, and I'll continue to come here because if it wasn't for them, I'd be falling apart more then I am now. They keep me tuned up.
(Sorry the after pic of my un swollen foot doesn't show much of the ankle)
You’re not just another appointment on their schedule—they make you feel seen, heard, and cared for. After experiencing the level of care here, I can confidently say I will never go to another chiropractic office again. This team has set the bar incredibly high, and I’m so grateful to have found them.
