What is Segmental Dysfunction?
Segmental dysfunction is a chiropractic term for a localized misalignment or incorrect movement of one of your vertebrae. These spinal segmental dysfunctions can be cervical (from the neck), thoracic (mid-back), or located in the lower back (lumbosacral).
They can result from improper posture, poor sleeping positioning, repetitive movements, car accidents, abrupt trauma, and even simple displacement due to working out your back through the years.
Constrictions from surrounding muscles and ligaments can also exacerbate the situation and increase the pain you feel. The misalignment of the specific vertebrae induces pressure and stress on the spinal nerves, adjacent muscles, and blood vessels surrounding the affected joint.
Types of Treatment Available
Rarely does a segmental dysfunction require the need for surgery, but otherwise, the treatments we offer to help alleviate your discomfort include:
- Osteopathic manual therapy - to realign and manipulate the affected or weakened soft tissues via trigger point releases, along with muscular exercise techniques to strengthen and stretch out the restricted regions.
- Medications - are not recommended following manual treatment, but if needed, NSAIDs like Ibuprofen for swelling and acetaminophen drugs can be recommended for minor pain relief. If the severity of your pain will not withstand these aforementioned types of medications, muscle relaxants are also a possible option for more sedative effects to the body, but remember it is always best to have your body heal by itself as much as it possibly can for overall enhanced wellness.
We are ready to treat your spine alignment without needing the use of surgical procedures for the safest and most minimally invasive process. Rest assured you’ll be in the hands of great care because manual hand therapy is what we do best!

Lewis Pain & Physical Medicine Reviews
Exceptional Pain Management Care – Highly Recommend! I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Lewis and the outstanding care I have received at their clinic. From my very first appointment, Dr. Lewis took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, thoroughly assess my condition, and develop a personalized treatment plan that has truly improved my quality of life. Dr. Lewis is not only highly knowledgeable and skilled but also compassionate and dedicated to patient well-being. They take a holistic approach to pain management, exploring all possible options before resorting to more invasive treatments. Their expertise has made a significant difference in my pain levels and mobility. The entire staff is professional, courteous, and efficient, making every visit a positive experience. Scheduling is easy, and they ensure that wait times are minimal. If you're looking for a pain management specialist who truly cares and delivers results, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lewis. Thank you, Dr. Lewis, for your dedication.
Dr. Lewis is the most efficient, kindest person to have helping you when you are the worst pain. Also, his staff were running ahead of schedule- I’ve never seen that in a doctors office before. I’d recommend this practice for anyone that wants to be able to trust their doctor. You are in the greatest hands if you come here.
My PA Erica has been absolutely amazing in the last 4 years of treatment of my chronic pain. The office staff are great, and the entire team is a pleasure to work with. I know seeing all excellent reviews seems "fake" but they truly are great and caring. They listen to your concerns, help evaluate medical tests together with you, and most importantly (again) LISTEN to you. My previous pain management doctor were judgmental and made me feel bad for being in pain at my age. I'm glad I was referred to Lewis Pain.
Best staff to work with and all are so efficient at helping you.
Dr Lewis is the best pain management Dr I have ever seen. Back injections by other Drs only lasted about a week and the pain returned. My last injection by Dr Lewis was 3 months ago and still no pain. He is the best and his bedside manner is also top notch. And the entire staff is friendly and efficient, office runs very smoothly. They even provide leather power recliners for their patients in every exam room!
