Back Pain

Dealing with back pain and unsure where to turn next?

Back pain can be frustrating, exhausting, and disruptive. At Advanced Physical Medicine Center, our doctors and physical therapists take a thoughtful, personalized approach to care. We listen closely, explain what may be happening, and work with you to create a plan that supports real improvement, not just short-term relief.

We see patients with back pain related to long workdays, physically demanding jobs, sports activity, old injuries, and recovery after surgery. Through hands-on care and guided treatment, our providers help you rebuild strength, improve mobility, and return to everyday activities with greater ease.

Why Am I Experiencing Back Pain?

Back pain rarely comes from one single issue. In some cases, it starts after a sudden injury. In others, it develops slowly due to posture, repeated movements, or changes in the spine over time. Muscles, joints, discs, and nerves can all play a role.

Our doctors and physical therapists focus on understanding what is contributing to your pain so treatment can address the source, not just the symptoms. Common reasons for back pain include:

Sports-related strain

Overuse or muscle strain from activities such as running, lifting, twisting, or repetitive training.

Spinal narrowing

Personalized recommendations that reduce stress on the spine during daily activities and work routines.

Disc-related issues

Targeted exercises that strengthen supporting muscles, improve posture, and restore safe movement patterns.

Nerve compression

Minimally invasive treatments that reduce inflammation and support relief for persistent or nerve-related pain when appropriate.

Disc bulges

Hands-on techniques that release muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce strain in surrounding tissues.

Traumatic injury

Guided movements that support flexibility, reduce stiffness, and encourage healthier spinal movement.

Age-related spinal changes

Hands-on techniques that release muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce strain in surrounding tissues.

Inflammatory joint conditions

Guided movements that support flexibility, reduce stiffness, and encourage healthier spinal movement.

Sacroiliac joint irritation

Hands-on techniques that release muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce strain in surrounding tissues.

Post-surgical effects

Guided movements that support flexibility, reduce stiffness, and encourage healthier spinal movement.

Spinal alignment concerns

Hands-on techniques that release muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce strain in surrounding tissues.

Posture and core weakness

Guided movements that support flexibility, reduce stiffness, and encourage healthier spinal movement.

Sciatic nerve irritation

Hands-on techniques that release muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce strain in surrounding tissues.

Prolonged sitting strain

Guided movements that support flexibility, reduce stiffness, and encourage healthier spinal movement.

Back pain treatment at Advanced Physical Medicine Center is designed to address the source of pain, not just the symptoms. Our doctors use proven techniques to reduce pressure on the spine, improve movement, and strengthen the body to prevent recurrence.

  • Chiropractic Care to improve spinal alignment and joint mobility
  • Physical Therapy to restore strength, flexibility, and movement control
  • Spinal Decompression or IDD Therapy to relieve disc and nerve pressure
  • Active Release Technique and Graston to reduce muscle tension and scar tissue
  • McKenzie Method to address disc-related and posture-based pain
  • Shockwave or Cold Laser Therapy to support tissue healing and reduce inflammation
  • Corrective exercises to improve posture and core stability

Medical services support both symptom relief and long-term outcomes.
