Back Pain Treatment
Find the Root Cause and Get Back to an Active Life
Back pain is one of the most common health issues people face, and it’s one of the top reasons people come see us. Whether it’s in your lower, middle, or upper back, our team is here to help you find the root cause and get back to a healthy, active life.
What Causes Back Pain?
Back pain almost always has a root cause, and finding it is the first step toward real relief. It can come from something as simple as a postural strain, muscle imbalance or strain, or something more involved, like a herniated disc or nerve irritation. Common conditions include:
- ✓Low back pain or injury
- ✓Middle or upper back pain
- ✓Sciatica (lumbar radiculopathy)
- ✓Facet joint syndrome
- ✓Myofascial pain syndrome
- ✓Degenerative disc disease
- ✓Herniated discs
- ✓Kyphosis or scoliosis
- ✓Spinal stenosis
- ✓Spondylolisthesis
- ✓Spinal arthritis
- ✓Muscle spasm
- ✓Piriformis syndrome
- ✓Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- ✓Thoracic or lumbar sprain or strain
Understanding where your pain is coming from helps us build the right plan and can help prevent it from getting worse over time.
When Should I See Someone About Back Pain?
If your back pain persists, it can be a sign of a larger underlying issue. If that’s the case, it’s a good idea to reach out and schedule an evaluation.
How Is Back Pain Treated?
Your treatment should be as individual as you are, whether your pain is in your lower, middle, or upper back. We’ll take the time to understand your symptoms and the root cause of your pain, then build a plan around it together.
Your treatment plan may include physical therapy, manual therapy, dry needling, activity modification, and education to help manage your pain, whether it’s acute from a recent accident or chronic from an ongoing condition like arthritis. Depending on your situation, your physician may also discuss medication, muscle relaxers, or injections alongside your therapy plan.
