Lower Back Pain

Back pain affects the lives of over 80% of Americans at some point in their life. The causes are vast, but it’s important to understand that there is no standard treatment. It must be researched and discovered what works best for each individual patient.

If you have lower back pain it may be due to one or more causes including injury, muscle spasms, herniated disc, spinal stenosis, tumors, nerve problems or arthritis to name a few. We take the time to understand what is causing your pain so we can provide the best care possible.

This may include one or a combination of the following:
