Hey everyone, welcome back to Crystal Clear Chiro, the podcast that helps you take control of your health. I’m Dr Henricksen from Crystal Grove Chiropractic, and today, we’re tackling one of the biggest complaints we hear in the office—lower back pain.
Now, if you’ve ever dealt with lower back pain, you know how frustrating it can be—especially when it keeps coming back. But why does that happen?
For most people, lower back pain isn’t just from one big injury—it’s from small, repetitive stress over time. That could mean a lot of things.
It could be from sitting too much, which weakens your core and tightens your hip flexors.
It might be lack of movement. Your spine needs motion to stay healthy.
Or maybe it’s misalignment—if your spine isn’t in the right position, it puts uneven pressure on your back.
So how do we fix it?
Chiropractic adjustments can help. They correct spinal misalignments to relieve pressure and pain.
Core strengthening is also important. A strong core supports your lower back and prevents future pain.
Daily movement is a big one. Getting up and stretching regularly makes a big difference.
If you’re still feeling twinges of pain, you should start thinking about stress—and how it affects your body more than you realize.
We often think of stress as just mental, but it actually causes physical tension in your muscles, joints, and nervous system. Ever notice how your shoulders feel tight when you’re overwhelmed? That’s stress at work.
When stress builds up, your body goes into “fight or flight” mode, leading to:
The good news? Chiropractic care can help your body process stress more effectively by reducing nerve tension and improving circulation. A few things that help:
If you’ve been feeling constantly tense, achy, or just “off,” your stress levels might be showing up in your body. At Crystal Grove Chiropractic, we help release that built-up tension so you can feel your best. Give us a call, and let’s get you back to feeling great. See you next time!
I visited Crystal Grove Chiropractic today and had the best experience! Dr. Jacob did a great job with the adjustments and took the time to go over my X-rays with me. I also really enjoyed using the neck and lower back stretchers. Savanah is the best, super helpful and nice made sure I was comfortable the entire visit. I felt so relaxed afterwards and my back feels so much better! Cant wait to come again!
had a great experience at this chiropractic office! Everyone was super welcoming and friendly, and the doctor took the time to explain everything and make sure I was comfortable. I really enjoyed my visit and felt like I was in good hands. Definitely recommend coming here if you’re looking for a great chiropractic office!
Both my husband and I have nothing but a positive review for Crystal Grove. Dr. Jacob is very personable, caring, and truly loves getting to the root cause of our problems and creating a plan to make us feel better. We don't feel like just another number or chart in his file. Savannah is a gem too!
I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Hendrickson and his staff. He has very informative information on his tv set up. The Dr. explains exactly what is causing you pain and goes over your x-rays with you. I highly recommend him as a professional.
Love this place. Compassionate, friendly staff and Dr. Hendricksen is just the best. I've been a patient of his for about 3 + months and my back and posture is so much better. Would recommend Dr. Hendricksen to anyone that wants to feel better about themselves.
Very clean professional and pleasant. First rate Chiropractic care followed by very friendly atmosphere.
5* Highly Recommend Crystal Grove Chiropractic I don't usually write reviews, but Crystal Grove Chiropractic deserves every bit of this 5-star rating. I'll admit, I'm naturally skeptical when it comes to medical treatments and procedures. In fact, I'm one of those people who avoids going to the doctor whenever possible. After years of sports-related injuries, combined with the wear and tear of everyday projects around the house, I developed severe lower back pain. The pain became so intense that I experienced muscle spasms that made it difficult to walk, sit comfortably, or even drive. Initially, I followed my family doctor's advice and hoped the pain would go away with aspirin and time. Unfortunately, it didn't. After stubbornly suffering for more than a week, I heard an ad for Crystal Grove Chiropractic and decided to give it a try. I can't say enough good things about the team. Dr. Jacob is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about his patients. Savannah at the front desk is always welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Most importantly, they encouraged me to trust the process. The results didn't happen overnight, but after a few sessions, I noticed a significant improvement and the pain gradually disappeared. Today, I continue going for maintenance and stretching, and I feel better than I have in a long time. Thank you, Dr. Jacob, Savannah, and the entire team at Crystal Grove Chiropractic. You've turned a lifelong skeptic into a believer. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with back pain or looking for quality chiropractic care. Trust the process. It works!
I genuinely don't have the words to express how life-changing this experience has been. Walking into this office felt like carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. Walking out felt like I had been completely reborn. The level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care is beyond anything I've ever experienced in healthcare. The doctor’s assistant is so lovely that I’d almost consider throwing my back out again just to come back and visit. The attention to detail was exceptional. Every question was answered with care, every concern was addressed patiently, and each visit left me feeling better than the last. It’s rare to find someone who combines such skill with genuine compassion. If this place was a person, I’d be asking them to be my emergency contact. Five stars is simply not enough. I’d give 52 stars, a standing ovation, and the keys to my house if that were an accepted review format. Do yourself a favor: BOOK THE APPOINTMENT!!!Worst case, your spine gets an upgrade. Best case, you’ll start recommending this place to complete strangers in the grocery store like I apparently do now.
Been using them quite a while since a traffic accident February 2025. Great place, Great Staff
I have had chronic neck pain for over a decade. I came to Crystal Grove after a neck injury with 10/10 pain. I couldn't move my neck at all pretty much. After just one session, I had significant relief. Now after a few months, I don't have pain in my neck, just stiffness from holding my stress there if anything. To be able to move without significant pain is liberating. Dr. Henricksen never forces anything and makes sure you feel comfortable with the adjustments before administering them. I recommend for anyone to come here who is experiencing any type of spinal discomfort.
I can’t recommend Dr. Jacob at Crystal Grove Chiropractic enough! From the very first visit, I felt welcomed and genuinely cared for. Dr. Jacob is knowledgeable, attentive, and takes the time to make sure you understand your treatment. I always leave feeling so much better than when I arrived. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who truly cares about helping you feel your best, Dr. Jacob is the one to see!
