Back Pain
Get to the root of what's driving your back pain.
Back pain can come from muscle strain, stiff joints, posture, disc irritation, or the load of daily activity and training. Dr. Rodis checks how your spine and surrounding muscles move to find what may be driving it.
Common signs and symptoms
- Aching, stiffness, or sharp pain in the lower or mid back
- Pain that worsens with sitting, standing, or certain movements
- Reduced range of motion or difficulty bending
- Muscle tension or spasm around the spine
- Discomfort that radiates toward the hips or legs
How we approach it
After a movement and postural assessment, your plan may combine chiropractic adjustment with soft tissue and recovery therapies.
When to seek care
Consider a professional evaluation if your back pain persists beyond a few days, keeps returning, or limits your daily activity. Seek prompt medical attention for back pain accompanied by numbness, weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, fever, or pain following a significant injury, as these can signal something that needs urgent care.
