  • Understanding Sciatica & Back Pain: Finding Relief Through Precision Physiotherapy

    Back pain can be an incredibly disruptive force in one’s life, affecting millions of Americans each year. Surprisingly, studies show that approximately 80% of the U.S. population will grapple with back pain at some point in their lives. While numerous treatment options are available, many solely address the symptoms, failing to target the root cause or provide long-term relief.

    Unmasking the Culprits: The Three Main Causes

    The realm of back pain and sciatica is often dominated by three primary perpetrators:

    • Herniated Discs: When the cushions between your spinal vertebrae become damaged or ruptured, they can press against nerves, causing pain and discomfort.
    • Arthritis: This degenerative joint condition can lead to inflammation and stiffness in the spine, triggering persistent back pain.
    • Pelvis Issues: Problems with the pelvis, including alignment or stability issues, can radiate pain throughout the lower back and legs.

    Precision Physiotherapy’s Approach: Targeting the Cause
