“Why is This Happening to Me?” or “Why Am I Still Suffering With Back Pain After Putting Up With It For 6 Months (Maybe More)?"
Most people think that when they get Back Pain, it’s just going to go away on it’s own.
That they’ll wake up one morning and like “magic”, it’ll be as if back pain never happened… But then 6 months later you’re still living with back pain – often even worse than it was when it came on.

how else can back pain affect people?
Let’s face it, back pain isn’t just about the physical discomfort. Those suffering with back pain understand that the constant aggravation can take a toll on your day-to-day life.
Individuals might struggle with completing everyday tasks and daily activities. Simple affairs such as sleeping, sitting for prolonged periods of time, driving, and working in front of the computer can become difficult challenges when the back isn’t cooperating. These can all have a severe impact on daily life, which is why the right treatment and strategies for pain management are essential.
Back pain is closely related to sciatica pain. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the human body and consists of nerve roots in the lower back, running through the buttock and down the back of each leg. Portions of this nerve branch out to the thigh, calf, foot and toes.
Sciatica pain is often the result of a medical back problem, and can cause debilitating pain in the back and lower extremities.
why does back pain require a personalized approach?
We understand that each person is different, hence the personalized approach to care. The staff take the time to truly understand the individual’s unique situation, identifying any underlying back pain contributors like poor posture or muscle imbalances that need to be addressed in order to get relief.
Treatments are then tailored to address those specific needs, ensuring that patients get the personalized care necessary to find relief, and get back to their active lifestyles and doing the things they love. No matter how severe the pain may be, our physical therapists will help you get on the road to recovery as quickly as possible.
