Back Pain
Back pain rarely lives in isolation. We look at the hips, pelvis and thoracic spine alongside the low back to understand what may be contributing — then build a plan around what we find.
The chain behind back pain
Your low back is the crossroads of the chain. A stiff ankle or dropped arch changes how force travels up through the knee and hip, so the lumbar spine compensates — and the nerves that exit there start firing on high alert. We trace the whole chain, foot to mid-back, to find the real driver instead of chasing the ache.
It all runs through one system: your nervous system reads the chain of fascia, muscles and ligaments and decides how you move, brace and feel pain. Change the input, and the output changes.
We don't guess. In your visit we test movement, strength and how your nervous system is loading the whole chain — foot to skull — to uncover the weak areas and determine the true root of the issue. Then we build your plan around exactly what we find.
With back pain, where it shows up isn't always where it starts.
Low-back pain is rarely a low-back-only problem. The lumbar spine sits between a mid-back that should rotate and hips that should generate power — when either falls short, the low back pays the bill.
Assessment & treatment paths
These connections are starting points for discussion — not guaranteed diagnoses. Your plan is always built from an individual assessment.
