Have you ever dealt with pain that seems to disappear for a while, only to return again and again? Maybe it’s neck stiffness, back pain, headaches, or joint discomfort that improves temporarily with rest or medication—but never fully goes away. For many people, recurring pain is frustrating and exhausting, especially when it feels like nothing truly fixes the problem.
At Cornerstone Chiropractic in Greeley, Dr. Darin Busse takes a different approach. Instead of simply treating symptoms, chiropractic care focuses on identifying and correcting the root cause of pain so your body can heal and function properly.
Why Temporary Pain Relief Isn’t Enough
Many common treatments focus on masking pain rather than addressing what’s causing it. Pain medications, for example, may reduce inflammation or dull discomfort, but they don’t correct joint misalignments, muscle imbalances, or nerve irritation. Once the medication wears off—or the body is stressed again—the pain often returns.
The same can be true with rest alone. While rest can calm symptoms temporarily, it doesn’t resolve underlying structural or movement issues that led to the pain in the first place.
This cycle is common because pain is often the result of a deeper problem, not the problem itself.
The Real Cause Behind Recurring Pain
Many chronic or recurring pain issues stem from:
- Spinal misalignments (also called subluxations)
- Joint dysfunction that limits proper movement
- Muscle imbalances or compensation patterns
- Poor posture or repetitive daily stress
- Nerve irritation affecting how the body communicates
When joints aren’t moving correctly, surrounding muscles have to work harder to compensate. Over time, this creates tension, inflammation, and irritation—eventually leading to pain. If these issues aren’t corrected, the body continues to fall back into the same dysfunctional patterns.
How Chiropractic Care Addresses the Root Cause
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper alignment and movement so the body can heal naturally. At Cornerstone Chiropractic, Dr. Busse performs a thorough evaluation to determine what’s actually contributing to your pain.
Here’s how chiropractic care helps stop the cycle of recurring pain:
1. Restoring Proper Alignment
Gentle chiropractic adjustments help correct misalignments in the spine and joints, reducing stress on surrounding tissues and nerves.
2. Improving Joint Function
When joints move the way they’re designed to, muscles can relax and function more efficiently, reducing tension and strain.
3. Supporting Nervous System Health
The spine protects the nervous system, which controls how your body heals and responds to stress. Removing interference allows better communication between the brain and body.
4. Preventing Future Flare-Ups
By correcting the underlying cause—not just treating symptoms—chiropractic care helps prevent pain from returning again and again.

Dr. Busse takes time to understand each patient’s history, lifestyle, and movement patterns. Care plans are tailored to the individual, whether the issue involves the spine, shoulders, hips, wrists, or other joints. The goal is not just relief today, but better function and comfort long term.
Break the Cycle of Recurring Pain
You don’t have to accept pain as something you’ll “just live with.” If your discomfort keeps coming back, it’s likely your body is asking for deeper correction—not another temporary fix.
