What Is Back Pain?
Back pain is a very common problem and will affect many of us at some point during our lives. It occurs anywhere along the spine, but it is most often felt in the lower back. This pain can be classified into two main types: acute and chronic. Acute back pain is short-term and lasts for a few days to a few weeks, typically resulting from an injury, muscle strain, or lifting something heavy. In contrast, chronic back pain persists for 12 weeks or longer, even after the initial injury or underlying cause has been treated. The good news is that in most cases it isn’t an irreversible problem, and it can be successfully defeated with physical therapy.

What Are The symptoms of Back Pain?
Back pain manifests through a variety of symptoms that can significantly impact daily life. One of the most common symptoms is a dull, aching sensation in the lower back. This type of pain can sometimes extend to the buttocks, thighs, and even down to the feet, indicating potential nerve involvement.
Another symptom is sharp, shooting pain that can radiate from the back to other parts of the body. This is often experienced in conditions such as sciatica, where the pain travels along the path of the sciatic nerve. Muscle spasms and tightness in the lower back, hips, and pelvis are also frequent symptoms, often causing stiffness and difficulty in moving or standing up straight.

What Is Our Approach To Back Pain treatment?
If you’re suffering from back pain, and you’re looking for back pain treatment, you’ve probably already tried pain medications, injections, and potentially considered surgery – likely visited multiple clinicians who all have different explanations as to what’s going on. But these treatment approaches rarely give you long-term relief. Back pain can have a profound impact on your life and can affect the many activities that you love doing, such as socializing, exercising, going to work, traveling, and spending time with family. We know that you’re probably feeling the emotional and mental toll that this pain can have on you as well as its physical effects. You might be in distress, likely frustrated, and maybe have already consigned yourself to defeat – but there is always hope!
