The human spine is a complex structure of bones supported by muscles, nerves, ligaments, and tendons. The segments of our spine are cushioned with cartilage-like pads called discs. Injuries or dysfunctions with any of these components can lead to back pain.
Back pain can come from a traumatic injury or develop into a chronic condition over time, lasting for months or even years. Chronic back pain can cause long-term restrictions in your overall mobility and quality of life.
Several injuries commonly associated with back pain include:
Discomfort in the upper and mid back pain is commonly caused by overuse, muscle strain, injury, poor posture, or herniated discs. One of the most common culprits of upper and mid back pain is a musculoskeletal condition called Upper Cross Syndrome.
Problems in the lower back can be caused by a variety of injuries and imbalances in the complex structure of the spine. Many people experience a low back injury from improper lifting techniques or after sitting with an excessive arch in the low back. Nerve entrapment and muscular imbalances in the hips can also contribute to low back pain. These issues often develop into painful conditions like sciatica and Lower Cross Syndrome.
Although the causes of back pain may be different depending on location and type of injury, most back injuries share similar symptoms, including:
Pain symptoms are more common the older you get, and your risk of long-term injury is increased by lack of physical activity or by carrying extra weight. Certain repetitive activities may also affect your recovery time, such as lifting, pushing, or sitting for extended periods of time.

I have an old back injury that flares up on me now and again out of nowhere, which usually puts me out of commission for about a week or more. Usually, I just deal with the pain and do some stretches and yoga poses I find online. Although this usually helps, it doesn’t really solve the problem. I’ve never really gone to anyone to get help but this time it was really bad. When I got to the office, I was only in the waiting room for a few minutes. Once I was one-on-one with the doctor, we went over the issue I was having and what causes it to flare up. He quickly came up with a plan for me and we got right to it. The plan included some muscle and tissue work and a list of exercises I could do to get more relief once I got home. The doc...+ show moretor was easy to talk to, a super nice guy, and very knowledgeable in his profession. I felt like I was having a conversation with a friend. He made me feel comfortable and didn’t push me too hard or rush me during the visit. He also followed up with me after the visit and went over any concerns I might have had. Second visit, he did some more muscle and tissue work and gave me more exercises to do, which he loaded up on my Airrosti app that I had downloaded during the first visit. The app was also very convenient and very detailed. When selecting the exercises, there was a demonstration for every exercise and a timer. I was very impressed with this company and especially the doctor. I would recommend this place to anyone, and have recommended this place to many of my friends.
