Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people go to the doctor, miss work, or stop participating in their regular activities. In addition, it’s the most common condition seen in physical therapy. Approximately 80% of people will experience at least one episode of back pain.

Symptoms of back pain can include low back pain, pain in the buttock or legs, nerve pain in the legs, muscle spasm, muscle tension, and numbness or tingling in the arms and legs (i.e. sciatica)
