Back Pain
We don’t just look at your symptoms; we assess your entire movement pattern to identify any restrictions, weaknesses, or imbalances that may be contributing to your pain.
What Is Back Pain?
Back pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders affecting people of all ages and walks of life. It is often cited as a leading cause of disability, limiting individuals from performing routine work tasks and engaging in activities of daily living. In many cases, back pain can be linked to normal wear and tear of the musculoskeletal system, but it can also be the result of more complex and serious underlying conditions. Common causes of back pain include muscle strains, sprains, or more serious issues such as a herniated disc, degenerative arthritis, and lumbar stenosis.
As we age, it’s normal for our spine to undergo changes. The majority of people experience some degree of spinal degeneration as they get older, and with each passing decade, managing back pain becomes increasingly difficult for many. Some may also develop conditions like arthritis in the spine, which can cause discomfort, stiffness, and restricted movement. These conditions can interfere with daily activities, such as walking, sitting, standing, and even sleeping.
What are the symptoms of Back Pain?
Back pain symptoms can manifest in a variety of ways, depending on the underlying cause. In general, back pain can cause discomfort, stiffness, and an inability to perform normal activities. For some people, the pain might be localized to a specific area of the back, while for others, it might radiate down the legs or cause weakness in the lower body.
Some common symptoms of back pain include:
- Localized pain in the lower or upper back
- Radiating pain down the legs, which may be a sign of sciatica
- Stiffness or tightness in the back muscles
- Weakness in the legs, making it difficult to walk or stand
- Pain while sitting or standing for prolonged periods
- Difficulty bending or lifting objects
These symptoms can range from acute pain that occurs suddenly, perhaps after an injury, to chronic discomfort that persists for months or even years. Whether the pain is acute or chronic, it can significantly impact a person’s ability to live a full and active life, preventing them from enjoying simple activities like walking, gardening, or spending time with loved ones.

At Park Rehab, we understand that back pain can be complex, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why our approach to treating back pain is holistic, comprehensive, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs. When you come to us for treatment, you can expect a thorough examination that includes a full hour of assessment. We don’t just look at your symptoms; we assess your entire movement pattern to identify any restrictions, weaknesses, or imbalances that may be contributing to your pain.
Once we have a clear understanding of your condition, we create a personalized treatment plan designed to address both the immediate pain and the underlying causes of the issue. At Park Rehab, we combine advanced therapies and hands-on manual techniques to help relieve pain and restore function. Some of the treatments we use include:
- Shockwave Therapy: A non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and promote blood circulation to the affected area.
- Cold Laser Therapy: A cutting-edge treatment that uses low-level lasers to stimulate cell regeneration, reduce inflammation, and promote healing in injured tissues.
- Manual Therapy: Techniques such as joint mobilization and soft tissue manipulation to improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and relieve muscle tension.
- Spinal Balance Techniques: Many spinal disorders arise from imbalances in the spine, which can exacerbate pain and dysfunction. We focus on realigning the spine and improving posture to reduce stress on the back.
One of the key elements of our treatment plan is empowering our patients to take control of their own recovery. We don’t just treat the symptoms – we teach you how to care for your spine and body, ensuring that you remain independent and proactive in managing your health.
