Back Treatments
Back pain can result from factors such as stress, muscle tension, lifestyle choices, poor posture, disc irritation, and nerve issues, often linked to improper alignment. Poor breathing can further destabilize the spine, leading to imbalances. Addressing these causes is essential for relief. Tailored rehabilitation, improved posture, and better breathing can help alleviate pain and support a healthier spine. Professional guidance can identify specific issues for a more effective treatment approach.

Disc Herniation
Disc herniation, or disc bulge, causes muscle weakness, numbness, and tingling down the leg. It occurs when the inner gel of a spinal disc protrudes through a crack, pressing on nearby nerves. This can impair mobility and strength and alter sensations. Early intervention and personalized care are vital for managing symptoms and promoting recovery.

Sciatica
Sciatica symptoms can mimic those of a disc herniation, but their causes differ. A herniated disc occurs when spinal discs protrude and press on nerves, while sciatica stems from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. This can cause pain, tingling, or numbness from the lower back through the buttocks and legs, often worsened by prolonged sitting or standing. Recognizing these differences is vital for effective treatment.
