Services & Treatment Options at Barber Chiropractic
Our office believes chiropractic should find and pinpoint the cause of a patients pain. See our wide range of services that we provide below.
General Chiropractic Care
There are hundreds of tissues in your spine, including bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, nerves, and fascia. Any one of these tissues can become irritated or damaged, either as a result of an acute injury, an underlying disease or illness, or degenerative changes over time.
Back & Neck Pain Treatments
There are hundreds of tissues in your spine, including bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, nerves, and fascia. Any one of these tissues can become irritated or damaged, either as a result of an acute injury, an underlying disease or illness, or degenerative changes over time.
Cold Laser Therapy Treatments
Cold Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and is thought to help accelerate the healing process. It can be used on patients who suffer from a variety of acute and chronic conditions in order to help eliminate pain, swelling, reduce spasms and increase functionality.
Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT)
Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) is a mechanical stimulation that encourages natural healing processes in the body. Sound waves are used to inspire natural, safe reactions within tissue that helps to return that tissue to its optimal and homeostatic state.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompress therapy, a non invasive, drug free alternative to back surgery. Decompression therapy has proven effective for low back and neck pain associated with a wide range of conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Chiropractic Services & Treatments
Some of the most common types or underlying diagnoses of neck pain and back pain conditions include osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, muscle spasms, tech neck, sciatica, pinched nerves, bulging or herniated discs, and stenosis.
You might be more at risk for developing neck pain or back pain if you:
- Are older than 35
- Sit for long periods of time
- Have poor posture
- Have a family history of back pain conditions
- Are overweight
- Smoke cigarettes
- Have a lot of stress
- Have a physically demanding job
- Do a lot of lifting, bending, or repetitive movement (especially overhead)
- Were in an acute accident, like a car crash or sports injury
In addition to dull achy pain, other common symptoms associated with neck pain and back pain include stiffness, reduced range of motion, and pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in an arm or leg. Pain can get better or worse depending on things like the time of day, your activity level, and even your stress level or sleep quality.
At Barber Chiropractic in Jeannette, we also find that many of our patients with neck pain and back pain have weak or dysfunctional core muscles. This makes sense, because we need the muscles in our core to have good strength and endurance in order to support our spines as we move about our day. In many cases, improving the strength, coordination, and stamina of your core muscles can dramatically help improve neck and back pain.
Research suggests that conservative approaches like physical therapy are effective for alleviating acute and chronic back pain. In fact, the CDC recommends physical therapy—along with exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, patient education, weight loss, and anti-inflammatory medications—as a first-line of treatment for back pain conditions over opioids.
