If you’ve been dealing with back pain that just won’t quit, you’re not alone. Dr. Cobb spent eight years managing chronic back pain himself, trying everything he could think of. The temporary relief was great, but it always came back. Sound familiar?
Here’s what we’ve learned after years of treating patients: most back pain isn’t actually coming from your spine alone. It’s coming from the connective tissue surrounding your muscles, tendons, and joints. When your body experiences trauma—whether it’s from lifting something wrong, an old car accident, or just years of poor posture—your connective tissue tightens up to protect you. Problem is, it stays tight, causing restrictions that lead to pain.
The Missing Piece Most People Don’t Know About
Think of your connective tissue like a full-body spider web. When one area gets tight, it pulls on everything else. Your muscles can’t move freely, your joints get stuck, and no amount of stretching or quick adjustments will fix it because the underlying restriction is still there.
This is why so many people get adjusted, feel better for a day or two, then end up right back where they started. The adjustment helps temporarily, but if the connective tissue is still tight, your body just pulls everything back out of alignment.
What Actually Works for Lasting Relief
After Dr. Cobb’s own back pain journey led him to discover Connective Tissue Release (CTR), everything changed. CTR works differently—it releases that tightened tissue, allowing your body to actually heal instead of just masking the pain. Most of our patients are amazed when they realize they don’t even want an adjustment after a CTR session because their body finally has the space to move freely again.
Our approach takes longer than a quick crack—we’re talking 30 to 60-minute sessions instead of 5 to 10 minutes—but the results speak for themselves. Within three treatments, most patients report real pain relief and improved mobility that actually lasts.
