Living with Chronic Pain: More Common Than You Think
If you’ve been living with daily pain, you’re not alone. According to the CDC, more than 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience chronic pain that lasts longer than three months. Whether it’s your back, neck, shoulder, or knees, ongoing pain can start to feel like a new normal—but it doesn’t have to be.
At Vector Spine and Sport, we specialize in helping patients in the Murray and Salt Lake area find real, lasting relief—without surgery or long-term medications. Our approach combines chiropractic care, deep tissue laser, and shockwave therapy to address pain at its source and help your body heal naturally.
Why Traditional Pain Management Falls Short
Many patients come to us after trying everything—pain pills, injections, even multiple rounds of physical therapy—with little success. The problem is that most of these treatments only mask symptoms rather than addressing the root cause.
Pain medications like opioids or NSAIDs may dull discomfort temporarily, but they don’t fix the mechanical issues, inflammation, or scar tissue that keep pain coming back. Over time, this can lead to dependence, tolerance, or even worsening pain sensitivity.
That’s where chiropractic and regenerative technologies like Shockwave Therapy step in—treating the source of pain, not just the symptoms.
Chiropractic Care: Restoring Alignment, Restoring Function
Chiropractic care is more than just spinal adjustments—it’s about restoring movement, improving function, and relieving pressure on the nervous system.
Dr. Jacob Reesor uses gentle, targeted adjustments to correct joint dysfunctions that cause pain and stiffness. When your spine and joints move properly, inflammation decreases, circulation improves, and the body can heal more efficiently.
Research from the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics shows that chiropractic adjustments can improve mobility, reduce pain, and even enhance the body’s proprioception—its sense of position and balance. For chronic pain sufferers, this often means fewer flare-ups, better posture, and less day-to-day discomfort.
Shockwave Therapy: Science-Backed Pain Relief
If your pain has lingered for months or years, Shockwave Therapy (EPAT) may be the missing piece. This non-invasive treatment uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate your body’s natural repair process, increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and accelerating tissue regeneration.
Clinical studies consistently support its effectiveness. A 2023 review in Frontiers in Immunology found that Shockwave Therapy significantly reduces pain and improves function in chronic tendon and soft tissue injuries (PMC10468604).
At Vector Spine and Sport, we use both focused and radial shockwave technology, allowing us to treat everything from deep-seated tendon injuries to surface-level inflammation. Patients often notice improvement after just a few sessions—with no downtime and no side effects.
Conditions We Commonly Treat
Our integrated approach is especially effective for chronic conditions such as:
- Low back and neck pain
- Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries
- Tennis and golfer’s elbow
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Achilles tendonitis
- Hip and knee pain
- Muscle trigger points and scar tissue buildup
Whether your pain stems from overuse, poor posture, or an old injury that never healed right, we’ll tailor a plan that helps you move and feel better.
What to Expect at Vector Spine and Sport
When you visit Vector Spine and Sport, you’re not getting a cookie-cutter treatment. Dr. Reesor begins each new patient visit with a thorough consultation and exam, discussing your history, lifestyle, and goals. From there, he creates a customized treatment plan using a combination of chiropractic adjustments, shockwave therapy, laser therapy, and therapeutic exercises.
Our goal is to help you move better, feel better, and get back to doing what you love—without relying on pills or surgery.
