Lumbar spine injuries — from disc herniations after a car accident to chronic degenerative disc disease — are among the most common and disabling conditions we treat at Champion Chiropractic & Spinal Injury in Clive, IA. Dr. Justin Luneburg, DC, FPSC(C), Iowa's only Fellowship-trained primary spine care chiropractor, diagnoses and treats the full spectrum of lumbar spine dysfunction. Common conditions we treat:
Lumbar disc herniation or bulge compressing nerve roots and causing radiating leg pain
Lumbar disc injury from auto accidents — including acute disc rupture and annular tears
Facet joint syndrome causing localized low back pain and referred buttock pain
Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction from impact forces during motor vehicle accidents
Post-traumatic lumbar strain from car accidents, work injuries, or falls
At Champion Chiropractic & Spinal Injury, back pain treatment is diagnosis-driven, not protocol-based. Dr. Justin Luneburg, DC, FPSC(C) — Iowa's only Fellowship-trained primary spine care chiropractor — identifies the structural source of your pain and builds a treatment plan around it. Our treatment methods include:
Lumbar spinal adjustment and mobilization targeted to specific dysfunctional segments
Flexion-distraction therapy for disc herniation and nerve root compression
Soft tissue treatment for muscle and ligament injury from trauma or overuse
Spinal decompression to reduce intradiscal pressure and relieve radicular symptoms
Functional rehabilitation to restore lumbar stability and prevent recurrence

Back injuries are among the most litigated injuries in personal injury cases — which means documentation matters. At Champion Chiropractic & Spinal Injury, Dr. Luneburg provides both expert treatment and the clinical records that hold up in court:
Personal injury documentation: AMA Guides-compliant impairment ratings, CRMA reports, causation and proximate-cause narratives — the records attorneys and adjusters need
Lumbar instability analysis: Stress-view radiographs interpreted with CRMA to quantify ligament damage and angular dysmotion not visible on standard imaging
Disc injury documentation: MRI correlation with clinical findings and causation analysis linking disc pathology to the accident mechanism
Ongoing case collaboration: Dr. Luneburg works directly with personal injury attorneys from initial evaluation through final impairment rating
Whether your back pain started after a car accident or has been building for years, here's what your evaluation and care at Champion Chiropractic & Spinal Injury looks like:
Comprehensive Lumbar Examination: Dr. Luneburg performs a thorough history and physical examination, including orthopedic and neurological testing to identify the exact source of your pain. Imaging studies (X-ray, MRI review) are ordered when clinically indicated.
Computerized Radiographic Mensuration Analysis (CRMA): For post-accident cases, Dr. Luneburg performs CRMA analysis to quantify lumbar ligament instability, angular dysmotion, and translational defects — documentation critical for personal injury claims.
Diagnosis-Driven Treatment: Every treatment decision is based on clinical findings — not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Lumbar adjustments, flexion-distraction, spinal decompression, and rehabilitation are selected based on your specific diagnosis.
Impairment Rating & Documentation: At maximum medical improvement, Dr. Luneburg provides AMA Guides-compliant impairment ratings and causation narratives — the documentation attorneys and adjusters need to resolve your case.
If you've been injured in a car accident and need a spine specialist who can both treat your injury and document it thoroughly, call (515) 777-1014 or request an appointment online.
