Back Pain

Back pain is very common. Most people experience it at least once in their lifetime. For most people, the pain is temporary. But back pain can become long-lasting (chronic) if a person has ongoing poor posture and body mechanics, unstable core muscles, ongoing walking (gait) issues, and if they are under increased stress, or feeling anxious or depressed.

Low back pain can happen anywhere below the ribs and above the legs. The lower back bears most of the body’s weight. Therefore, there can be many causes for pain such as injury, aging, pregnancy, herniated discs, compression fractures, joint issues, illness, genetic spine issues, and overuse injuries.

If you have been struggling with aches, pain, or an inability to do the things you enjoy, it’s time to choose a physical therapist at FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers Westlake.
