Back pain and how i can help

Back pain can have many sources. The root cause could be in the soft tissues like the muscles, ligaments, tendons or the joints. The way you move and do daily activities, your movement patterns, could be the cause. An irritated nerve could also be the source of your pain. That is why I complete a comprehensive evaluation to find the root cause of your back pain. With the root cause identified, we can focus on the aggravating factors to get you feeling better faster.  

Soft tissue mobilization (think deep tissue massage), instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization ("scraping" of a metal tool on the skin), dry needling, joint mobilization, and exercises help to get you back to your pain free self. Patient education about how to modify daily activities to eliminate aggravating factors is also an important step to helping you be your own advocate to get yourself out of pain.
