Back pain hits differently when it starts taking away the sport, training, or movement you love.
Ariel missed an entire dance competition season because of severe back pain. She had already seen multiple doctors and therapists, but the pain kept affecting her ability to move the way she needed to.
At Brain & Spine Upper Cervical Chiropractic in West Jordan, Dr. Harrison Salisbury looked beyond the back and evaluated whether her upper neck was creating a tension pattern through the spine.
That detail matters for dancers, athletes, and active people across West Jordan, South Jordan, Sandy, Taylorsville, and the Salt Lake Valley who keep dealing with back pain even when the neck does not hurt.
