Low Back Pain

Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions and can result from a variety of factors, including muscle strain, joint dysfunction, disc injuries, repetitive stress, poor movement patterns, or age-related changes. In many cases, more than one structure contributes to a person's symptoms. A thorough examination helps identify the tissues involved and determine how joint mobility, muscle function, movement patterns, and nerve involvement may be contributing to your pain so that treatment can be tailored to your individual needs.
