Common causes of back pain:

1. Muscle Strain or Sprain: Overuse, improper lifting techniques, sudden movements, or poor posture can lead to muscle strains or sprains in the back, causing pain and discomfort.
2. Herniated Disc: The cushions (discs) between the vertebrae can bulge or rupture due to wear and tear or injury, leading to nerve compression and back pain, often accompanied by sciatica.
3. Osteoarthritis: Degenerative changes in the spine, including the breakdown of cartilage and the formation of bone spurs, can lead to inflammation and pain in the joints of the spine.
4. Spondylolisthesis: A condition where one vertebra slips forward over the adjacent vertebra, often due to a stress fracture or degenerative changes, resulting in back pain and nerve compression symptoms.
5. Traumatic Injuries: Falls, car accidents, sports injuries, or other traumatic events can cause fractures, dislocations, or soft tissue injuries in the spine, leading to acute or chronic back pain.
6. Poor Posture and Ergonomics: Prolonged sitting, standing, or repetitive movements with improper posture or ergonomics can strain the muscles and ligaments of the back, contributing to pain and discomfort.
7. Sciatica: Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, often due to a herniated disc or spinal stenosis, can cause sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg.

Other Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions such as infections, tumors, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, or inflammatory diseases can also cause or contribute to back pain.

Following your initial assessment, a personalized treatment plan will be devised based on the factors contributing to your back pain, including its origin, specific location, and your medical background.

Our therapists will collaborate with you to alleviate any areas of tightness, thereby enhancing your range of motion; acupuncture may be employed for this purpose.

The objective is to swiftly alleviate your discomfort while concurrently fortifying your core muscles to deter future injuries.

Moreover, we will demonstrate how to implement ergonomic principles to safeguard your spine during routine activities such as driving or working at a computer. Completing the entire course of therapy sessions is crucial to prevent re-injury to your back!

Wondering what the difference is between back pain and sciatica?

Back Pain

The sciatic nerve begins at your lower back and then splits at the base of your spine to extend further down to your buttocks, legs, and finally to the bottom of each foot. The sciatic nerve can After becoming compressed or irritated, the nerve will cause a “shooting,” “stinging,” or “burning” sensation in your lower back, buttocks, legs, or feet.
