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.

Some backstory about me: I was essentially able to do nothing without pain. I have back and knee issues and both were exacerbating each other. I came to Airrosti with the intent to treat my lower back, which has several desiccated discs and due to my knee making me unable to walk or stand much, I was in constant pain. My first visit was lovely. Dr. Robinson is a wonderful human being and truly deserves so much credit for her amazing communication, clear action plans and magic hands. I left my first visit feeling relief and knew I could trust Dr. Robinson with my care. I thoroughly enjoyed the pace at which she had me working things. She explained that the muscles in my lower back needed to be broken down before building them back up, whi...+ show morech makes total sense when you think about it. There are no words to explain how effective this treatment plan was or how eternally grateful I am for Dr. Robinson's attention to my other issues, which she noted and worked around the entire time. I have other issues I need to address, so I will be returning as soon as possible! I recommend this style of therapy for anyone thinking they'll never find relief from their pain again. I felt that way for so long, but not anymore. Thank you so much, Dr. Robinson. You are amazing!
