What’s Causing My Back Pain?

Back pain can arise from various sources. Explore some of the prevalent conditions that our skilled physiotherapists can treat at our downtown office.
Back pain can arise from various sources.
A herniated disc, also known as a slipped disc or bulging disc, can be caused by natural wear and tear with aging, normal day-to-day activities, and sports. This condition can cause back pain and even leg pain. While quite painful, it is very treatable and most people fully recover.

Learn more about the early signs, treatments, and exercises for lower back herniated discs here.

When you sit up straight the weight of your head and torso is absorbed through the natural curvature of your spine and significantly reduces the work load of the muscles around your neck and back. Being mindful of your posture and sitting up straight can eliminate the root cause of most chronic neck and back pain.

Sciatica is a condition that most people have heard of. People also become quite fearful and anxious when they realize they have this condition. It’s important to understand that sciatica is a very common condition that physiotherapists treat everyday. Treatments are highly effective and your physiotherapist will help you make a full recovery from sciatica.

One common culprit behind chronic back pain is lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD), which is a natural age-related condition that can cause persistent discomfort.  Because the spine supports nearly every movement, pain in this area can feel overwhelming and constant.

Najih is excellent! I appreciate how he takes his time, I never feel rushed and his attention when eliciting my history makes me feel very heard. He doesn’t push any treatment but presents all as options so you can decide together.  I’ve been treated by Najih multiple times for neck and upper back pain and will definitely go back!
