Pain Management & Relief

A Different Approach to Pain

Pain is not the problem — it is a signal. Your body is telling you that something is wrong, and masking that signal with medication doesn’t address the underlying cause. At Aloha Wellness, Dr. Clayton Clark takes a fundamentally different approach to pain management: identify what is causing the pain, correct it, and support your body’s natural ability to heal.

This approach has helped thousands of San Antonio patients find lasting relief from conditions that medication, injections, and even surgery failed to resolve.

Conditions We Treat

Dr. Clark’s integrated chiropractic and nutritional approach is effective for a wide range of pain conditions:

• Lower back pain (acute and chronic)

• Herniated and bulging discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Sciatica and radiating leg pain

How We Find the Source of Your Pain

Rather than prescribing a generic treatment plan, Dr. Clark uses a systematic diagnostic approach:

1. Detailed Health History — Understanding when your pain started, what makes it better or worse, and how it affects your daily life.
2. Physical Examination — Orthopedic and neurological tests to narrow down the specific structures involved.
3. Insight© Nerve Scanning — Advanced infrared technology that measures electrical activity along your spinal nerves, revealing areas of interference that may be contributing to your pain — even in areas where you don’t feel symptoms yet.
4. Nutritional Assessment — Chronic pain often has an inflammatory component. Dr. Clark evaluates whether nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, or metabolic imbalances are fueling your pain cycle.

Your Personalized Pain Relief Plan

Based on your examination and scan findings, Dr. Clark creates a customized treatment plan that may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments to correct spinal misalignments and restore proper joint mechanics
• Targeted nutritional support to reduce systemic inflammation
• Ergonomic and posture coaching to prevent pain recurrence
• Home exercises tailored to your specific condition
• Lifestyle modifications that support long-term healing

Why Choose Drug-Free Pain Management?

The opioid crisis has highlighted the dangers of relying on medication for chronic pain. But even over-the-counter pain relievers like NSAIDs carry risks when used long-term, including stomach ulcers, kidney damage, and cardiovascular problems.

Chiropractic care addresses pain at its source without drugs, injections, or surgery. Research consistently shows that spinal manipulation is one of the most effective treatments for back pain, neck pain, and headaches — and it does so with an excellent safety profile.
