Don't let back pain limit your life any longer. Our expert team is ready to help you on your journey to recovery.
Back pain varies significantly in type, location, and severity. Understanding the nature of your specific back pain is crucial for effective treatment and long-term relief.
Your spine consists of 33 vertebrae divided into five regions: cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), lumbar (lower back), sacral, and coccygeal. Most back pain occurs in the lumbar region, where your spine supports most of your upper body weight. The spine also houses and protects your spinal cord, with nerves branching out between each vertebra to control movement and sensation.
Our specialist team conducts thorough assessments to identify exactly which structures are causing your pain, whether it's muscles, ligaments, discs, joints, or nerves. We use advanced diagnostic techniques including physical examination, imaging studies, and functional movement analysis to develop a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
Vertebrae regions and common pain areas
Our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating various types of back pain, each requiring a unique approach for optimal recovery.
The most common type, affecting the five vertebrae in the lower spine. Often caused by muscle strain, poor posture, heavy lifting, or degenerative conditions.
Pain in the region connected to the ribcage, often related to poor posture, muscle overuse, or joint dysfunction. Common in office workers and people who sit for extended periods.
Pain radiating along the sciatic nerve from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. Typically caused by compression of the nerve root, often due to a herniated disc or bone spur.
Occurs when the soft tissue between vertebrae (discs) pushes out through a tear in the disc's outer layer, irritating nearby nerves. Can cause intense pain, numbness, or weakness in arms or legs.
Narrowing of spaces within the spine, putting pressure on nerves. Often age-related, causing pain, numbness, muscle weakness, and may affect walking and balance. Most common in the lower back and neck.
Many back pain conditions share similar symptoms, making self-diagnosis difficult. Our specialists use comprehensive assessment techniques to determine the exact cause of your pain and create an appropriate treatment plan.
