Back Pain & Sciatica
Each year, millions of Americans are adversely impacted by back pain. At one point or another, nearly 80% of the U.S. population experience back pain.
While there are a lot of treatment options available, many of these only address the symptoms and don’t target the actual cause of your pain or handle it for the long term.
The three main causes of low back pain and sciatica are:
- Herniated Discs
- Arthritis
- Pelvis issues
Without identifying the correct cause of your pain there is no way to develop the proper treatment plan. (For more on Sciatica treatment, see our Sciatica Treatment page.)
Our physical therapists will find the actual cause of your back pain. The goal of effectively resolving your low back pain or sciatica includes…
- Identify the true cause
- Create a unique plan for your specific condition
- Relieve your pain
- Restore your normal motion, flexibility, mobility
- Strengthen the supporting muscle
