It’s common to experience spinal pain or occasional stiffness. Over 80% of people experience back pain at some time in their life. The bones, muscles, and ligaments surrounding the spine support our bodies in almost every movement that we do. Because of this, back and neck pain can impact every facet of daily life and can be severely limiting. The pain may come on after a recent muscle strain or be the result of an old injury. Symptoms can present in any variety of format, from a limitation during physical exercise to a pain that restricts your ability to sit down at work. The pain may be present in just the spine or may refer to other limbs and joints. Regardless of how the pain impacts you, we hope to help you manage these symptoms with active interventions that emphasize the functional activities that matter in your life. Physical therapy is a less invasive first step before considering medication, injections, or surgery.
