Low-Back Pain Relief in North York

Why Your Back Pain Keeps Coming Back

Low back pain affects millions of people, but most treatments only provide temporary relief because they’re focused on symptoms rather than causes. At Chiropractic Health Centre, Dr. David Weyrauch takes a fundamentally different approach. He doesn’t just treat your pain—he identifies and corrects the nervous system dysfunction that’s causing your pain and limiting your body’s ability to heal itself.

Here’s what most people don’t understand: the body has a remarkable capacity to heal itself, but low back pain indicates that something has compromised your nervous system in a way that both causes the pain and prevents healing. That “something” is called subluxation—a specific type of nervous system dysfunction that chiropractors are uniquely trained to detect and correct. By addressing subluxation rather than simply masking pain, chiropractic care enables your body to heal naturally and completely.

Understanding What Causes Low Back Pain

Your nervous system is affected by three primary categories of stress, and low back pain develops when your nervous system becomes unable to adapt to one or a combination of these stressors. Physical stress includes both acute injuries (lifting, accidents, sudden movements) and chronic postural issues from sitting, standing, or repetitive movements. Environmental stress encompasses chemical toxins your body is exposed to daily and electromagnetic radiation that affects nervous system function. Mental-emotional stress from work pressures, relationships, or life challenges creates nervous system tension that often manifests as physical pain.

Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach

Dr. Weyrauch uses a dual-method treatment approach that combines the best of traditional chiropractic with advanced gentle techniques. You’ll receive precise manual adjustments when appropriate, along with instrument-assisted techniques using mechanical percussion instruments that provide a gentler option for certain conditions and sensitivities. This flexibility ensures your treatment is customized to your specific needs and comfort level.

But treatment doesn’t end when you leave the office. You’ll receive a customized exercise program demonstrated by Dr. Weyrauch during your second visit. These at-home exercises—which may include breathing techniques, stretching routines, and strengthening activities—support your recovery between appointments and empower you to take an active role in your healing. Additionally, Dr. Weyrauch provides specific lifestyle guidance relevant to your condition, addressing physical stress from posture, environmental factors you can control, and mental-emotional stress management strategies.

This comprehensive approach is why patients who haven’t found relief with other treatments finally get results at Chiropractic Health Centre in North York. We’re not just adjusting your spine—we’re restoring your nervous system’s ability to regulate healing throughout your entire body.

What to Expect: Results You Can Feel

Most patients notice positive changes right after their first adjustment—whether that’s increased range of motion, decreased pain intensity, or simply feeling like their body is “working better.” These immediate results confirm that treatment is addressing the root cause effectively.

The timeline for complete resolution depends on several factors: how long you’ve had the condition, how severe it is, and what underlying stressors are still present in your life. Dr. Weyrauch will give you realistic expectations during your report of findings, including projections for both symptom relief and full correction. Then you choose which goal aligns with your priorities. Some patients are satisfied with symptom relief and maintenance care. Others want complete correction of the underlying problem. Both paths are valid, and the choice is entirely yours.

Progress is tracked through two primary methods: your symptoms (if you don’t feel better, you’re not getting better—it’s that simple) and periodic computerized postural assessments that show objective improvement in nervous system function. This combination of subjective and objective measures ensures you always know exactly where you stand.
