Pain Management
A different approach to pain management
Pain changes everything. It disrupts sleep, limits activity, strains relationships, and makes everyday tasks feel overwhelming. If you have been dealing with pain — whether it started after an injury, developed gradually, or has persisted for months despite other treatments — you deserve a clear path forward.
At Chiropractic Solutions of Denver, we take a non-invasive, drug-free approach to pain management. Rather than masking symptoms with medication, we focus on identifying the source of your pain and treating it directly through a combination of hands-on therapies, advanced technology, and structured rehabilitation.
Why pain persists — and what we do differently
Chronic pain is rarely caused by a single problem. A herniated disc may irritate a nerve, but the surrounding muscles compensate, joints stiffen, and inflammation builds. Treating only one piece of that chain leaves the others unresolved — which is why pain often returns after a round of medication wears off or a single treatment modality plateaus.
Dr. Baldwin's approach addresses multiple contributors simultaneously. A typical treatment plan may combine several of the following, depending on your specific condition:
- Chiropractic adjustments — restore joint mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and improve spinal alignment
- Acupuncture — disrupt pain signaling pathways and promote the body's natural anti-inflammatory response
- Class IV laser therapy — accelerate tissue repair at the cellular level by increasing ATP production and blood flow
- Shockwave therapy — break down scar tissue and calcifications in chronic tendon injuries
- Massage therapy — release myofascial tension, reduce muscle guarding, and improve circulation
- Spinal rehabilitation — strengthen weakened muscles so corrections hold and pain doesn't return
Conditions we treat
Our pain management approach is effective across a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions:
- Back pain — disc injuries, facet joint irritation, muscle strains, degenerative changes
- Neck pain — cervical disc problems, forward head posture, whiplash injuries
- Sciatica — radiating leg pain from nerve compression in the lumbar spine
- Headaches and migraines — cervicogenic headaches, tension headaches, migraine management
- Joint pain — shoulder impingement, knee pain, hip pain, arthritis
- Auto accident injuries — soft tissue damage, whiplash, post-collision pain syndromes
- Sports injuries — overuse injuries, sprains, strains, tendinopathy
- Post-surgical pain — recovery support after orthopedic procedures
- Neuropathy — numbness, tingling, and burning pain in the extremities
What to expect at your first visit
Your initial consultation includes a thorough history, orthopedic and neurological examination, and — when indicated — diagnostic imaging review. Dr. Baldwin's goal on the first visit is to answer four questions: what is causing your pain, what it will take to resolve it, how long recovery should take, and what it will cost. From there, he builds an individualized treatment plan that draws on the specific combination of therapies your condition requires.
Most patients begin to notice meaningful improvement within the first few visits. Acute conditions often resolve within weeks, while chronic pain that has persisted for months or years typically requires a longer corrective care plan to fully stabilize.
Is pain management covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans cover chiropractic care, and many cover additional therapies like acupuncture and rehabilitation. Our team verifies your benefits before treatment begins so there are no surprises. We also offer affordable self-pay options for services not covered by your plan.
