Low-Back Pain
The most common reason people see us — and one of the most treatable. Most low-back pain responds to movement and strength, not a scan.
Symptoms
- Aching or sharp low-back pain
- Stiffness, worse in the morning
- Pain bending, sitting, or lifting
- Occasional leg symptoms
Common causes
- Movement-pattern overload
- Weak core & hips
- Long sitting & deconditioning
- A specific lifting or sport event
How we’d approach it
- Find the directional preference that eases it
- Manual therapy + guided movement for relief
- Build core, hip & posterior-chain strength
- Teach safe lifting & a flare-up plan
Common questions
Your first visit is a full-hour evaluation with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. We take a history, screen your movement and strength, find the real driver of the problem, map it to a goal-based program, and start hands-on treatment that same day. You’ll leave with a clear plan and a home program on the app.
Usually not. Most musculoskeletal pain — including the majority of low-back pain — is diagnosed clinically and responds to movement and strengthening, not imaging. If your evaluation suggests imaging or a physician is warranted, we’ll tell you and help coordinate it. This is educational, not a substitute for a medical diagnosis.
