Why Low Back Pain Happens?

Low back pain is not simply a “back problem.” It stems from a system of interrelated patterns involving your hips, core, posture, breathing, and the way your body loads movement throughout the day. Desk posture, stress, poor lifting habits, muscle imbalances, and limited mobility all contribute to tension around the lumbar spine. Sitting for long periods, especially in forward-leaning positions, causes certain muscles to overwork (like the lower back and hip flexors) while others become underactive (like the deep core and glutes). Over time, these compensations create stiffness, inflammation, and movement inefficiencies that make bending, lifting, and even standing uncomfortable. Our goal is to identify which patterns are driving your pain and correct them, not just treat the painful area.

Understanding Sciatica (Back Pain That Radiates Down the Leg)

A significant portion of people with low back pain also experience sciatica, a nerve-related pain pattern affecting 10–40% of adults. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated by a disc, tight muscle, joint restriction, or postural imbalance. Symptoms can be sharp and electric, or dull and burning, often extending from the lower back into the hip, leg, or foot.

How We Treat Low Back Pain

We use a holistic, integrative approach that blends manual therapy, movement science, and evidence-based chiropractic treatment. Instead of only adjusting the spine, we look at the entire system, your hips, core activation, breathing, posture habits, and mobility patterns, to understand the root cause of discomfort.
Active Release Technique (ART)

Active Release Technique (ART)

ART targets restricted or overactive tissues that contribute to low back pain. This is particularly helpful when movement patterns or repetitive strain are causing pain in the lumbar spine or hip region.
