Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical help—and for good reason. It can range from a dull, nagging ache to sharp, debilitating pain that makes everyday activities like walking, bending, or even standing difficult. Because the lower back plays a central role in nearly all movement, pain in this area can have a ripple effect throughout the body, often impacting your hips, legs, and feet. Whether it's caused by an injury, inflammation, or nerve irritation, getting the right diagnosis is key to finding lasting relief.
At our clinic, we understand that back pain doesn’t just interfere with your comfort—it can limit your independence and quality of life. We work to uncover the source of the pain and create a tailored treatment plan that fits your needs. Many patients are surprised to learn that issues in the back can also influence foot function and posture. Here are two common conditions that we often see connected to lower back discomfort:
-
Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Occurs when the joints connecting the spine to the pelvis become inflamed or move improperly, leading to lower back and pelvic pain
-
Sciatica
A condition where the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed, causing pain that can radiate from the lower back down through the leg
