Back Pain/Sciatica

Learn more

Back pain is a common musculoskeletal condition that can affect the upper, middle, or lower back. It may result from muscle strain, ligament sprain, poor posture, disc problems, arthritis, or injury. Symptoms can range from a dull, constant ache to sharp, localized pain that limits movement and daily activities.

Sciatica refers specifically to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. It is typically caused by compression or irritation of a nerve root in the lumbar spine, often due to a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease.

Neck/Shoulder Pain

Neck and shoulder pain are common complaints that can arise from poor posture, muscle strain, injury, or underlying conditions such as arthritis or nerve impingement. These areas are closely connected, and dysfunction in one often affects the other, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited movement. Physical therapy provides a non-invasive, effective approach to treating neck and shoulder pain by addressing the root cause and restoring function.
