Back Pain Treatment in Burlington
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek care. Our team identifies what is driving your pain and builds a coordinated plan to get you moving again.
Understanding the condition
About back pain
Most back pain arises from muscles, joints, discs and ligaments of the spine rather than serious disease, and the majority of episodes improve with active care. Pain that persists or recurs often reflects stiffness, weakness, posture and movement habits that need to be addressed. Our physiotherapists, chiropractor and massage therapists work together, and spinal decompression is available for disc-related pain.
Common symptoms
- Aching or sharp pain in the lower or upper back
- Stiffness after sitting or first thing in the morning
- Muscle spasm or tightness
- Pain with bending, lifting or twisting
- Pain spreading into the buttock or thigh
Common causes
- Muscle strain from lifting or sudden movement
- Prolonged sitting and desk work
- Disc bulges or degenerative disc changes
- Joint stiffness and reduced mobility
- Weak core and hip muscles
