Back Pain
Modern, active treatment for acute and persistent back pain.
About back pain
Back pain ranges from sudden acute episodes to long-standing discomfort affecting daily life. Most back pain is non-serious and responds well to movement, manual therapy, and targeted strengthening — even when imaging looks concerning.
Common causes
- Muscle strain or overuse
- Poor movement patterns
- Sedentary posture
- Disc-related pain
- Arthritis
- Post-injury or surgical pain
Symptoms we commonly see
- Aching or sharp pain in the low or mid back
- Stiffness, especially after sitting
- Pain that radiates into the buttock or leg
- Difficulty bending, lifting, or sleeping
How AIM helps
We start with a careful assessment to rule out anything serious, then build a recovery plan combining manual therapy, graded movement, and education. Most patients see meaningful improvement within 4–8 visits.
