Back Pain

Low back pain (LBP) comes in 2nd only to the common cold in terms of physician office visits, with LBP causing more people to struggle with its effects than any other orthopedic condition. LBP causes a very rapid loss of muscle strength leading to a high risk of recurrence. As a result, starting therapy sooner than later becomes crucial to gain control over your LBP.
Low back pain can seriously affect your day to day activities and your overall enjoyment of life. The longer it is present the more difficult it is to relieve.

The majority of LBP sufferers have what is known as mechanical low back pain that can involve muscles, joints or discs, that may or may not affect leg nerves (known as sciatica). Regardless of the cause of your LBP, it is best to treat the problem in order from it getting worse, where cascade effects can result in hip, knee and foot pain.

Mid-Upper back/neck pains – the back blends in to the neck and therefore cannot be separated when discussing issues related to pain, injury and treatment. Whiplash injuries, rib problems, scoliosis, disc decay and ergonomic issues are some of the effects on this region of the body.
