Back Pain
Understanding back pain
Back pain can be sudden and sharp after lifting something heavy, or a dull ache that builds up over months. It is one of the most common reasons adults miss work and daily activities.
The lower back carries much of the body’s weight, so muscles, joints and discs in this area are easily strained by long hours sitting, heavy lifting, extra weight or injuries.
At our clinic, we focus on finding what may be causing your pain — not just covering it up — and on helping you get back to moving with more confidence.
Common symptoms
- Aching or stiffness in the lower or middle back
- Sharp pain when bending, lifting or twisting
- Pain that gets worse after sitting or standing a long time
- Muscle spasms
- Pain that travels into the buttock or leg
- Trouble standing up straight
Common causes
- Muscle or ligament strain
- Bulging or herniated discs
- Poor posture and long hours sitting
- Heavy lifting or physically demanding work
- Car accidents, falls and sports injuries
- Age-related wear and arthritis
