Take the Pressure Off Your Back
Low back pain is one of the most common complaints we see, affecting people of all ages. Whether it’s caused by poor posture, repetitive strain, an acute injury, or nerve irritation such as sciatica, back pain can make simple tasks like bending, sitting, or lifting uncomfortable. If left untreated, it can lead to reduced mobility, poor posture, and even pain in your hips, knees, or neck as your body compensates.
Common Symptoms of Low Back Pain
-
Dull or sharp pain in the lower back
-
Stiffness or limited range of motion
-
Pain radiating into the legs or causing numbness/tingling (classic sign of sciatica)
-
Difficulty standing, sitting, or lifting for long periods
Why Low Back Pain Happens
Low back pain can develop from:
-
Muscle strains or ligament sprains
-
Poor posture or prolonged sitting
-
Overuse or repetitive movements
-
Sports, work-related injuries, or sudden trauma
-
Herniated or degenerated discs (can irritate the sciatic nerve, causing radiating leg pain)
Understanding the source of your pain is key to effective treatment.
