Low Back Pain in Fairbanks
Years of abusing your back makes the back prone to injury. Most low back pain in Fairbanks comes from a few common causes. Car accidents, poor posture, or jobs that require a lot of sitting are common starting points for back problems. All of these situations can lead to decreased motion of the bones in the lower back and neck. Decreased motion leads to stiffness and eventually to decay of the bones and discs of the spine. This progressive stiffness and decay leads to chronic pain and a decreased quality of life as we age, preventing us from doing the things we love to do. This is a shame because it is largely preventable! Chiropractic restores the normal movement and alignment in your spine, bringing health back to sick joints.
Facet syndrome (back sprain) is most often brought on by a sudden movement or injury, often following years of back neglect, and results in pain and stiffness and difficulty moving. You may find yourself bent off to one side.
Sacroiliac syndrome occurs from a sudden injury or movement and is felt as a sudden pain in the hip area. You have difficulty changing positions and the pain can be excruciating. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate from a facet syndrome or disc herniation. This is the most commonly misdiagnosed back problem, usually called a muscle pull.
Herniated (slipped) discs are brought on by a sudden movement, often lifting, on top of general wear and tear and may cause severe pain in the back and legs. It takes quite a while to build up and may take quite a while to get better.
Muscle and ligament Strain is most often caused by poor posture or an old untreated back injury. Symptoms are chronic backaches with occasional spasms.

Hailey Gundersen2024-11-15I have been seeing Dr. Berg since the middle of my second trimester and it has helped subside all lower back pain throughout my pregnancy. I’m now at 35 weeks and feeling great! Could not recommend his care more.
Angela Holland2024-07-12Great chiropractors. Amazing massage therapists.
Caitlin Schnaidt2024-06-07I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Berg and the entire teqm at Spaulding. I am pregnant and have been suffering from bad sciatica which made doing most basic things throughout the day extremely challenging. After starting to see Dr. Berg I am finally able to get through the day without being in a constant state of pain. He also sees my special needs toddler and we have seen great improvements in his physical movements and comfort level since beginning to see Dr. Berg. He is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, warm, and overall an amazing chiropractor. Everyone in the office is friendly, warm, and welcoming. I was very hesitant about starting to see a chiropractor while pregnant and have been nothing but pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the results of both my own, and my son's, experiences. If you're looking for a chiropractors office I highly recommend Dr. Berg and Spaulding chiropractic.

Meghan Hoffman2024-05-20I've been seeing Dr. Wyatt Berg throughout my entire eight months of pregnancy so far, and I can't recommend him enough! He is incredibly understanding and knowledgeable about the specific needs of pregnant women. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns and adjusts my treatments accordingly. His adjustments have helped to alleviate my lower back pain and improve my sleep. Most recently, my baby went from being in the breech position to head down after a couple of adjustments. Thanks to Dr. Berg's care, I’ve felt much more comfortable and mobile throughout my pregnancy. I highly recommend him to any pregnant women or any individual who is looking for a natural and effective way to manage aches and pains. Alisha Greenberg (Massage Therapist) and Teresa Grotkopp (Acupuncturist) I would also highly recommend. The cherry on top is that the office staff at Spaulding Chiropractic is always friendly and helpful.
Nigel Morton2024-05-20Dr. Berg truly cares about his craft and his patients. His care shows in the form results from appointment to appointment.
Cody Whiteley2024-05-09I took my 6 week old baby to see DR. Berg for hard to pass gas, excessive fussiness and instantly he was able to ease my baby. Over just a couple visits we noticed a huge difference and baby was much happier. We took him back again at 4 months because he was constipated - google told us it was normal to have inconsistent bowel movements around his age but it made him extremely fussy and uncomfortable. Within a couple hours after seeing DR Berg our baby began making regular bowel movements again and his mood improved drastically. My wife also saw Dr Berg after giving birth and having multiple complaints of pain and unusual sensations. He helped realign her pelvis, hips and relieve upper back/neck pain associated with breastfeeding/ holding baby. Dr Berg is incredibly knowledgeable, holistic and personable. He has a baby of his own so he is very gentle and intuitive. We cant recommend his expertise enough, he truly takes the time to listen, notice, and fix the problem or recommend resources or other specialists. To say the least, Chiropractic care with Dr Berg has been a game changer for both baby and momma. Fairbanks is truly lucky to have this high quality care.
Is low back pain in Fairbanks a serious problem?
First of all, if it makes life more difficult for you, that’s serious in itself. Even if the pain goes away within a few days, unless you correct the underlying condition (usually stiffness and/or poor alignment) the pain will come back again and again as you get older, and all the while the joint will be deteriorating. What starts off as mild and occasional pain can suddenly become a serious and life-altering back problem if left untreated. Get to the root of it today before it gets any worse. Many of the patients we see wish they had taken care of their back at the first sign of trouble.
Lower back pain can also be accompanied by a variety of symptoms, some of which indicate very serious problems. Do you currently have or have you ever had:
Leg pain with numbness, tingling and/or weakness?
Back or leg pain with coughing or sneezing?
Difficulty standing up after sitting for any period of time?
Morning stiffness?
Pain after extended walking?
Pain in the hip, buttock, thigh, knee or foot?
If you’ve answered “yes” to any of these symptoms, it’s time you got help from a doctor. A doctor of chiropractic. If you have low back pain in Fairbanks, call us at 907-456-4234. We have been serving Fairbanks for over 50 years!
