What Causes
Most back pain is multifactorial. Common contributors include:
Sprain/strain:
sudden load or awkward movement
Disc irritation:
often worsened by prolonged sitting or heavy lifting
Facet joint irritation:
stiffness and pain with specific movements
Nerve irritability/sciatica:
leg pain, tingling, or weakness
Posture and load:
long sitting, deconditioning, sudden training spikes
Lifestyle factors:
stress, poor sleep, and pacing
Good news: Most back pain responds well to a combination of movement, exercise, and targeted hands-on care.

Clinical Approach Backed by Guidelines
  • Keep moving: graded activity helps recovery more than bed rest
  • Exercise is key: mobility, core, and hip strength reduce recurrence
  • Mind-body matters: stress, sleep, and pacing influence symptoms
  • Imaging when indicated: most back pain improves without scans
We follow current evidence and tailor it to your lifestyle, goals, and comfort.
