Do You Have Lower Back Pain?

Unfortunately, you are not alone.  

 

Almost 80% of our population will experience some form of back pain throughout their lifetime.

 

Although causes vary, back pain can take on different forms as well.

 

Some people deal with constant pain, and others can have pain when the back has been aggravated. Some pain is tightly defined and in one location and at other times, pain can feel tense in a larger region.  

 

One interesting observation about pain is the source of the pain may stem from another area of your body, or symptoms can travel further if not alleviated.

 

Regardless if you are experiencing back pain, our clinic offers various forms of both treatment and prevention for your back.
