Chiropractic Pain Management

Mission Chiropractic Care provides chiropractic pain management in Hayward, CA, for people living with persistent musculoskeletal pain, using drug-free, non-surgical methods rather than medication or surgery. Founded in 2004 by Dr. Hanh Tran, the clinic has spent 22 years treating patients with pain across the East Bay with individualized, appointment-based care.

Living With Chronic Pain

Chronic Pain Wears Down Daily Function

Chronic musculoskeletal pain rarely stays in one place. Stiffness can limit how far you reach, how much you lift, and how long you can sit through a workday. Sleep suffers too, since discomfort makes it hard to settle into a position and stay there. For many patients, this pain has built up over months, not days, and it keeps chipping away at ordinary routines.

Most people call us after trying over-the-counter medication or simple rest and finding that relief does not last. Left unaddressed, ongoing pain tends to limit movement even further over time. That pattern is a good sign it's time for a professional evaluation rather than another round of guesswork.

How Treatment Works

Non-Invasive Care Targets the Source of Pain


We manage chronic pain with drug-free, non-surgical methods, including spinal adjustment, dry needling, electrical muscle stimulation, mechanical traction, and massage therapy. These aren't applied as a fixed package. We combine them based on what an evaluation finds, so your plan fits the pain you actually have, including cases where chiropractic care for sciatica pain overlaps with a broader pain management plan.

Dr. Hanh Tran evaluates every patient individually before building a treatment plan, drawing on 22 years treating chronic pain patients in Hayward. Appointments are required for every visit, which keeps each session unhurried and focused on your progress.

Patients often ask what to expect before their first pain management visit.

Answers for Patients Considering Pain Management Care

  • How long does it usually take to notice relief from chronic pain treatment?

    Timelines vary depending on the condition and how long the pain has been present. Some patients notice looser movement within a few visits, while others need several weeks of care. Dr. Tran discusses a realistic timeline with you at the first evaluation instead of promising a fixed number of visits.

  • What non-drug treatments do you use for ongoing pain?

    We use spinal adjustment, dry needling, mechanical traction, electromuscle stimulation, and massage therapy. The mix we recommend depends on what your evaluation finds, not a standard package applied to every patient.

  • How often will I need to come in for pain management care?

    Visit frequency is usually higher early on and tapers off as your function improves. Dr. Tran adjusts the schedule visit by visit based on your progress, rather than locking you into a fixed plan from day one.

  • What payment methods do you accept for pain management visits?

    We accept Visa, MasterCard, cash, and check. If you have any billing questions, feel free to call (510) 888-9460 ahead of your first visit.

Start Managing Your Pain Differently


Pain that hasn't responded to rest or medication is a reasonable enough reason to call. Mission Chiropractic Care sees pain management patients by appointment only, Monday through Friday 10:00 am to 7:00 pm and Saturday 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.
