Low Back Pain in Waunakee

Kee Health treats mechanical low back pain in Waunakee for adults in Madison, Sun Prairie, and Dane County. A visit can include chiropractic care, spinal decompression, soft-tissue work, and rehab when the exam supports them — not a one-size adjustment.

New patients: please call to schedule your first visit.

What we see most

Sitting and lifting

Desk days, driving, and lifts that leave the low back stiff by evening.

Disc pressure

Ache that tracks with sitting, bending, or a heavy day on your feet.

Stiffness

Morning tightness or a back that will not loosen with stretching alone.

After a flare

Pain that eased, then came back the next time you lifted or sat long.

How Kee Health treats it

Low back pain here is usually mechanical: a stiff joint, loaded disc, or muscle that keeps guarding. The exam decides the tool. An adjustment restores motion when a joint is restricted. Decompression unloads disc pressure when sitting or bending is the trigger. Soft-tissue work and rehab are added so the change holds after you stand up.

Not every visit uses every tool. First physical medicine visits are about 90 minutes. Follow-ups are about 30–45 minutes. Serving Madison, DeForest, Sun Prairie, and Middleton from Waunakee. We are out of network and accept credit cards, HSA, and FSA.

What a first visit looks like

The first visit is a history and an exam, not a preset adjustment. We ask what sitting, lifting, driving, or sleep does to the pain, and whether it stays in the back or travels. Then we watch how you bend, stand, and load the low back. A stiff joint, a loaded disc, and a guarding muscle can look similar in the waiting room and need different tools.

If the joint is restricted, chiropractic care can restore motion that day. If sitting and bending are the trigger, spinal decompression may unload the disc. Myofascial release is used when the tissue will not let the joint move. Active rehab is the piece that keeps the change: a few drills so the next lift or desk day does not reload the same spot. Not every tool is used on visit one.

Plan on about 90 minutes for a new physical medicine visit and about 30–45 minutes for follow-ups. New patients call to schedule. Related pages: chiropractic, spinal decompression, myofascial release, and active rehab.

Questions

Do I need a referral?

No. New patients call to schedule the first visit.

Is every visit an adjustment?

No. An adjustment is used when the exam supports it. Some visits are decompression, soft tissue, or rehab.

Is decompression surgery?

No. It is controlled traction to unload the low back, not a surgical procedure.

How soon can this change?

Some people notice easier motion after a visit. A flare that keeps returning usually needs follow-up and rehab, not one treatment.
