Back pain can take over your life — from morning stiffness to sharp discomfort that makes even simple movements hard. The good news? Most back pain can be relieved without surgery.
At Journey Spinal Care in Sanford, FL, we specialize in non-surgical, holistic, and conservative approaches to spine health. Our team combines chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic massage, and custom stretching programs to help you move, heal, and feel your best — naturally.
Understanding Non-Surgical Back Pain Relief
“Non-surgical” doesn’t mean “no treatment.” It means addressing the root cause of your pain through methods that help your body heal on its own.
Common conservative therapies include:
Chiropractic Adjustments: Gentle realignment of the spine to relieve pressure on nerves and restore mobility.
Therapeutic Massage: Hands-on work to release tension, improve circulation, and support recovery. (Read our Massage Blog for more on this approach.)
Assisted Stretching & Myofascial Release: Reduce stiffness and break up adhesions that limit motion.
Cupping & Vibration Therapy: Encourage blood flow and reduce inflammation.
Home Exercise Guidance: Learn movements that strengthen and protect your back between visits.
Each of these methods focuses on restoring balance — not masking symptoms — so your spine can function the way it’s meant to.

Holistic and Conservative Care: What’s the Difference?
“Holistic” care treats the whole person, not just the area that hurts. “Conservative treatment” means using safe, low-risk options before considering surgery or injections.
At Journey Spinal Care, these two ideas work hand-in-hand. We look at posture, muscle tension, stress, and daily habits — everything that contributes to back pain. Then we design a care plan that fits your lifestyle and recovery goals.
This blend of chiropractic adjustments, bodywork, and stretching techniques helps patients with:
Chronic lower-back or mid-back pain
Sciatica and nerve irritation
Postural imbalances from desk work
Pain after auto injuries or physical strain.
Exploring Non-Surgical Options
There are many ways to treat spinal pain without surgery — and most patients find that conservative care offers effective, lasting relief. At Journey Spinal Care, we use a variety of techniques to restore movement, reduce pressure, and support natural healing.
Some of the most effective non-surgical options include:
Intersegmental Traction Table: A gentle, rolling traction system that helps stretch the spine, improve flexibility, and promote disc and joint health.
Flexion-Distraction Technique: A form of spinal mobilization that helps relieve pressure from discs and nerves, especially in cases of herniation or sciatica.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS): Delivers mild electrical currents to relax tight muscles, decrease pain, and improve circulation.
Massage Therapy & Myofascial Release: Reduces tension, improves range of motion, and complements chiropractic adjustments.
Home Exercise Guidance: Helps you strengthen your spine between visits for long-term results.
Some patients may also benefit from spinal decompression therapy — a specialized traction system available in select clinics. While we don’t currently offer decompression in-office, we often co-manage cases and refer out when it’s appropriate. Our goal is always to help you find the right combination of treatments that align with your body’s needs and recovery goals.
Why Choosing the Right Provider Matters
Not all spinal care is the same. You deserve a provider who listens, explains your options clearly, and treats you like a person — not a number.
At Journey Spinal Care, you’ll work directly with Dr. Sammer Yacoub and Marcus Gonzalez, LMT. Together, they blend chiropractic and manual therapy for complete care.
Our patients often tell us that they appreciate the one-on-one attention and consistent results — especially when recovering from auto accidents, surgery, or chronic conditions.
