Dr. Ryland Weum DC, a skilled and compassionate chiropractor, offered him a customized treatment plan using chiropractic techniques to address his back pain.



Background


Robert's back pain initially started as occasional discomfort but gradually worsened over time. The physically demanding nature of his job as a construction worker only exacerbated the issue.

Diagnosis


Based on the evaluation, Dr. Weum diagnosed Robert with chronic mechanical back pain, likely stemming from repetitive movements and poor posture associated with his profession.

Dr. Ryland Weum created a personalized chiropractic care plan to target the root cause of Robert's back pain and restore his functional abilities. The plan incorporated a combination of chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle modifications.
