Back pain that keeps coming back?
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people walk through our door. Often it has been settling and flaring for months or years. We look past the sore spot to understand how your spine is moving, loading and adapting.
Common signs we see
- Lower back pain that flares after sitting, lifting or sleeping
- Stiffness first thing in the morning
- Pain that settles with stretching or massage, then returns
- Tightness across the mid back or between the shoulder blades
Looking beyond the symptom
Most back pain isn’t random and it isn’t only tight muscles. It is usually a pattern your body has adapted to over time: some areas of the spine stop moving well and others work overtime to compensate.
Stretching and rest can ease symptoms, but if that underlying pattern isn’t measured and addressed, the same pain tends to return.
Why back pain overflows: the bucket analogy
Dr Josh explains how everyday stress builds up in your spine, and the three things we check to find what’s really going on.
We measure first, then build your plan
Every new patient starts with a comprehensive assessment, followed by a report of findings where we explain exactly what we found and the path forward.
