Causes of Back Pain

Up to 80% of the population will experience back pain during their lives. While most cases aren’t linked to serious conditions, it can still have a major impact on day-to-day functioning.

Most back pain stems from irritation or dysfunction in the bones, joints, ligaments, or muscles. Vertebral dysfunction is a frequent cause, where spinal vertebrae compress the delicate nerves of the lower back.

  • Why it has happened
  • What treatment you require
  • Provide you with a treatment plan with milestones to help measure your progress

Treatment

Osteopathic treatment for back pain focuses on enhancing spinal joint movement, reducing muscle tension, and building muscle strength, leading to better movement, less pain, and reduced nerve irritation.

Your treatment will be personalized, typically involving spinal and soft tissue mobilization, core stabilization advice, strengthening exercises, stretching, and heat/cold therapy. Call us today to schedule a detailed lower back consultation and start your journey to recovery!
