Get Lower Back Pain Relief Close to Home
If you have lower back pain, you’re not alone. It’s not uncommon to have lower-left back pain, lower-right back pain or pain on both sides of your lower back. Lower back pain is one of the main reasons people see their doctor. There are many lower back pain causes, including injuries, a herniated disc (ruptured disc), osteoarthritis (cartilage breakdown) or spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal).
Most people who have lower back pain don’t need surgery. In most instances, medicine or physical therapy can offer lower back pain relief. Our physical therapists can show you stretches for lower back pain and develop personalized exercise programs to help relieve pain and prevent back injuries. Our spine team offers the latest approaches to give you relief from lower back pain.
