Real Relief for Lower Back Pain — Not Just a Quick Fix
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people stop doing the things they love. It disrupts sleep, limits movement, and makes everyday tasks — sitting at a desk, picking up your kids, getting out of bed — feel harder than they should.
Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp pain, or sciatica that shoots down your leg — Dr. Natalie finds the cause and builds a plan that actually works.
This is not a clinic that cracks your back and sends you home. Dr. Natalie Lopez at Tip Top Health assesses your posture, movement patterns, and history to understand why your pain is happening. Your treatment plan is specific to your case — and it includes the rehab work that prevents it from coming back.
Most patients notice real improvement within the first few visits. You will leave your first appointment knowing exactly what is causing your pain and what the plan is to fix it.
- Dull ache in the lower back that comes and goes
- Sharp pain when standing up, bending, or twisting
- Sciatica — radiating pain down the leg or into the buttock
- Muscle tightness or spasms that restrict movement
- Back pain that started after lifting something heavy
- Back pain from sitting all day at a desk
- Back pain during or after pregnancy
How Dr. Natalie Treats Back Pain
A combined chiropractic and rehabilitation approach — built around your specific case.
Lower back pain can come from multiple sources: tight muscles, restricted joints, disc irritation, weak core stability, or movement patterns that load the spine incorrectly. Dr. Natalie assesses all of it.
Chiropractic adjustments
Restore joint mobility and reduce nerve irritation. If a joint is not moving properly, the surrounding muscles compensate and the pain cycle continues. Adjustments break that cycle.
Soft tissue therapy
Releases tight muscles and fascia contributing to pain. This is often where most of the discomfort originates, especially in cases of chronic tension or guarding.
Rehabilitation exercises
Strengthen the supporting structures so the pain does not return. Rehab is what makes the adjustment stick — without it, the problem often comes back.
Acupuncture
Reduces inflammation and pain for cases that need it. Used as a support tool within your treatment session when appropriate.
Posture and movement coaching
Corrects the patterns that caused the problem in the first place. If you sit at a desk for hours a day or have movement habits that overload your spine, Dr. Natalie works with you to change them.
The combination matters. Adjustments alone may give temporary relief. Rehab alone takes longer without addressing joint restriction. Together, they produce faster and more durable results.

Back Pain FAQs
Is chiropractic care the same as physiotherapy for back pain?
They overlap significantly. Chiropractors and physiotherapists both assess movement, treat soft tissue, and prescribe rehab exercises. Dr. Natalie’s approach at Tip Top Health incorporates elements of both — joint work, soft tissue release, and rehabilitation — under one roof. Many patients come to Tip Top specifically because they want the combined approach without having to see multiple providers.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on your case. Acute back pain (recent onset) often resolves in 4–8 visits. Chronic pain that has been building for months or years typically takes longer. Dr. Natalie will give you a realistic timeline after your first assessment — she will not keep you coming back longer than you need.
Can you treat back pain that started at work or from sitting all day?
Yes — postural back pain from prolonged sitting is one of the most common things we see. Dr. Natalie will treat the pain and work with you on the posture and movement habits that are driving it.
Do I need a referral?
No. Book directly with Tip Top Health. You do not need a referral to get started.
What if my back pain started after an accident?
Dr. Natalie has experience with motor vehicle accident injuries and can coordinate your care with any insurance requirements. Assessment comes first, and she will walk you through what the plan looks like.
Does treatment hurt?
Not typically. Treatment is targeted and controlled. You may feel mild soreness afterward, especially early on, but this usually settles quickly. Dr. Natalie always explains what she is doing before she does it.
