Back Pain
While medication and rest may provide temporary relief, addressing the root cause through targeted movement, strengthening, and manual therapy is key to long-term recovery.
What Is Back Pain ?
Back pain is a common condition that affects the spine, muscles, nerves, and joints, often causing discomfort, stiffness, or limited movement. It can result from poor posture, repetitive strain, muscle imbalances, herniated discs, or nerve compression like sciatica. Symptoms range from mild aching to sharp, debilitating pain that interferes with daily life. Back pain can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term), depending on its cause.
At Elite Muscle Recovery, we recognize that back pain can stem from various factors, often related to repetitive movement, prolonged postures, or high-impact activities. Some of the most common causes include:
- Repetitive movements such as bending, twisting, or lifting, which are common for manual workers who are constantly on their feet.
- Sedentary lifestyles, especially for office workers who spend long hours sitting without movement.
- High-intensity activities that involve running, jumping, or rotational movements, placing stress on the spine.
Back pain is more than just discomfort – it can interfere with daily life and prevent individuals from doing the things they love.
What Are The Symptoms of Back Pain ?
Back pain can present in many ways, including:
- Muscle spasms – a gripping, tight sensation that restricts movement, making it difficult to bend forward or backward.
- Sciatica – pain that radiates down the leg, sometimes reaching the foot, caused by nerve compression.
- Disc issues – weakness, instability, or sharp pain triggered by certain movements.
These symptoms can severely impact daily life – from struggling to get out of bed or a chair to experiencing sudden spasms while walking. Some individuals become fearful of movement, worried that any action will trigger even more pain.
Many people experiencing chronic back pain first seek help from their physician, who often prescribes pain medication. While this may provide temporary relief, it doesn’t address the root cause of the pain or help prevent it from returning.
However, these methods often only provide short-term relief. Injections, for example, can be hit or miss, requiring precise placement to be effective – yet many patients spend significant money without achieving lasting results.
What Is Our Approach To Fixing/Treating Back Pain ?
At Elite Muscle Recovery, our comprehensive evaluation process is key to identifying the true cause of back pain. Rather than masking symptoms, we conduct hands-on assessments to:
- Pinpoint the specific movement or position causing pain
- Determine whether muscles, bones, or nerves are involved
- Create a personalized treatment plan based on individual needs
Because every patient’s condition is unique, treatment varies based on the root cause. Some individuals may need stretches to improve flexibility, while others require strengthening to stabilize hypermobile joints. Treatment may include:
- Manual therapy & deep tissue massage
- Cupping therapy
- Dry needling
- Stability exercises
- Passive stretching techniques
Our goal is simple: to provide targeted, hands-on care that helps each patient regain mobility, reduce pain, and prevent future flare-ups – without relying on surgery, painkillers, or temporary fixes.
