Back Injuries and Pain

​”Sore today. Strong tomorrow.”

Back pain is one of the world’s largest health problems that people will experience during their lives. Sadly, it is the number one cause of disability worldwide.  Injuries, overuse, chronic diseases, and pre and post-surgery are reasons we see back pain in people. Back pain patients are often advised to seek out physical therapy for four weeks as an initial conservative (nonsurgical) treatment option before considering other more aggressive treatments because the success rate is so great.

54% of people who experience back pain, sit the majority of their day.
