BACK PAIN

Though the neck and mid-back can be the source of one’s pain, the low back is often the culprit due to it’s anatomy.  Low back pain affects people of all ages, from children to the elderly, and, according to the World Health Organization, is a very frequent reason for activity limitation and the leading cause of work absence.  Our staff is well trained in injuries of this type and positioned to provide medical advice, prevention techniques, and treatment.
