Overview
Understanding back pain
The back is a complex structure of vertebrae, discs, joints, muscles and nerves working together. Pain can arise from any of these, and often from a combination — which is why a careful assessment matters more than a quick label.
Some back pain settles quickly, while some becomes persistent or keeps returning. Understanding the pattern of your symptoms, what aggravates them and what eases them helps us recommend care that targets the likely source rather than only the symptom.
Common symptoms
- Aching, stiffness or sharp pain in the back
- Discomfort that worsens with certain positions or movements
- Pain that radiates toward the buttock or leg
- Reduced flexibility or difficulty standing upright
Possible causes
- Muscle or ligament strain
- Disc bulges, herniation or degeneration
- Joint irritation and poor movement patterns
- Posture, prolonged sitting and repetitive load
How we help
Treatments we may consider
After an assessment, we discuss which of these options — alone or combined — may be appropriate for your back pain.
We use evidence-based approaches and never promise cures or guaranteed results. If care with us isn't appropriate, or medical evaluation is needed first, we'll tell you.

Back Pain questions
If your pain is severe, persistent, worsening or accompanied by symptoms such as numbness, weakness or changes in bladder or bowel control, seek care promptly. For ongoing or recurring back pain, an assessment can help identify the cause and appropriate options.
The best next step is an assessment. We review your history and examine how you move, then discuss which options — chiropractic care, spinal decompression, laser therapy or a combination — may be appropriate. If care with us is not suitable, we will tell you.
