  • Why Does My Back Hurt?

    Are you wondering, “Why does my lower back hurt?” You’re not alone. Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physical therapy, and its causes can range from posture problems to muscle imbalances or underlying conditions.

    At Stride PT, we understand that lower back pain can impact every part of your life—from your mobility and posture to your work productivity and sleep quality. Symptoms may include:

    • A dull, persistent ache or sharp pain
    • Muscle tension or spasms
    • Stiffness or reduced range of motion
    • Difficulty performing daily activities

    Our physical therapy clinic takes a personalized approach to care. Rather than masking symptoms, we identify and treat the root cause of your back pain. Through a combination of proven techniques, including manual therapy, corrective exercises, and posture retraining—we help you:

    • Restore movement and flexibility
    • Improve posture and core strength
    • Reduce pain and inflammation
    • Prevent future injuries

    Back pain doesn’t have to be a lifelong struggle. Let the team at Stride PT guide you toward lasting relief and a healthier, more active life.

  • The most common conditions responsible for back pain include the following:

    • Muscular Strain:One of the leading causes of back pain, muscle strain often results from overexertion, poor posture, or improper lifting techniques. These strains can limit mobility and cause lingering discomfort. Our Solution: We create personalized programs with targeted stretching and strengthening exercises to correct muscular imbalances and reinforce proper body mechanics—helping prevent future injuries.
    • Herniated Disc:A herniated or bulging disc occurs when the cushioning between spinal vertebrae presses on nearby nerves, often leading to sharp pain, tingling, or numbness. Our Solution: Using a combination of manual therapy, guided stretching, and core stabilization, we help reduce nerve pressure, ease discomfort, and improve spinal function.
    • Degenerative Disc Disease: As we age, spinal discs naturally lose flexibility and hydration. This condition, known as degenerative disc disease, can cause stiffness, inflammation, and chronic pain. Our Solution: We focus on improving spinal mobility, strengthening surrounding muscles, and enhancing posture to reduce pain and slow the progression of the condition.
