Back Pain

Unfortunately you do not have to be physically active to fall victim to a back injury. Activities such as sitting in front of a computer, slipping on a wet floor, sneezing or even crawling into bed at night can put your back at risk for an injury.

Although most of the time back pain is brought on by excessive lifting, by overuse, a new activity or an accident, other times back pain can be brought on by a pinched nerve, such as in a herniated disc. However the back pain is sustained, we can help.
