Back Pain
Back pain is more than just discomfort – it can interfere with daily life and prevent individuals from doing the things they love.
What Is Back Pain ?
Back pain is a common condition that affects the spine, muscles, nerves, and joints, often causing discomfort, stiffness, or limited movement. It can result from poor posture, repetitive strain, muscle imbalances, herniated discs, or nerve compression like sciatica. Back pain can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term), depending on its cause. While medication and rest may provide temporary relief, addressing the root cause through targeted movement, strengthening, and manual therapy is key to long-term recovery.
At We Got Your Back PT, Pilates, & Wellness, we recognize that back pain can be caused due to a variety of factors, often related to repetitive movement, prolonged postures, or high-impact activities. Some of the most common causes include:
- Repetitive movements such as bending, twisting, or lifting, which are common for manual workers who are constantly on their feet.
- Sedentary lifestyles, especially for office workers who spend long hours sitting without movement.
- High-intensity activities that involve running, jumping, or rotational movements, placing stress on the spine.
What Are The Symptoms Of Back Pain ?
Back pain can present in many ways, including:
- Muscle spasms – a gripping, tight sensation that restricts movement, making it difficult to bend forward or backward.
- Sciatica – pain that radiates down the leg, sometimes reaching the foot, caused by nerve compression.
- Disc issues – weakness, instability, or sharp pain triggered by certain movements.
These symptoms can severely impact daily life – from struggling to get out of bed or a chair to experiencing sudden spasms while walking. Some individuals become fearful of movement, worried that any action will trigger even more pain.
Many people experiencing chronic back pain first seek help from their physician, who often prescribes pain medication. While this may provide temporary relief, it doesn’t address the root cause of the pain or help prevent it from returning.
However, these methods often only provide short-term relief. Injections, for example, can be hit or miss, requiring precise placement to be effective – yet many patients spend significant money without achieving lasting results.
What Is Our Approach To Fixing/Treating Back Pain ?
At We Got Your Back PT, Pilates, & Wellness , we specialize in treating back pain by addressing the root causes rather than just masking the symptoms. Many people suffer from back pain due to muscle spasms that lead to misalignments in the skeletal system. These misalignments can cause your body to compensate in ways that further restrict movement and function. Our clinic focuses on identifying these imbalances and correcting them quickly and effectively, helping you regain your mobility and return to the activities you love.
One of the key methods we use is specific manual therapy, which targets the muscles responsible for holding the skeleton in improper alignment. These muscles often go into spasm, causing the body to misalign and leading to pain and dysfunction. By using advanced manual osteopathic techniques, our team resets these muscles, allowing the skeletal system to return to its proper alignment. This approach helps to eliminate the pain-causing muscle spasms, restores balance in the body, and promotes faster recovery.
What makes our approach unique is our focus on the whole body. Sometimes, the issue causing your pain may not be located where you feel the discomfort. Misalignments and muscle dysfunction on the opposite side of your body may be contributing to your back pain, and our skilled therapists are trained to identify and treat these hidden causes. By understanding the interconnectedness of the body, we can address the underlying issues rather than just treating isolated symptoms.
At We Got Your Back PT, Pilates, & Wellness , our goal is to not only provide relief but also help you live a pain-free, active life. We take the time to understand your pain and create a personalized treatment plan that helps restore function and prevent the pain from reoccurring in the future.
