Low back pain

Low back pain has many possible causes, including muscle/ligament strain, disc problems, and age-related changes.

Picture This

You spend a long weekend moving furniture and your back feels sore afterward. The goal isn't to guess one cause — it's to think about the sudden change in load and what your body was prepared to handle.

BACK MOTIVATION“I’ve got your back.”Take care of it and it’ll return the favor.

Rehab focusActive care may include mobility, aerobic activity, and strength training tailored to symptoms and function.
