Low Back Pain Treatment in Boulder, CO
Low back pain is widespread — we treat it every day. Nearly everyone will suffer from it at some point.

The two biggest risk factors are a sedentary lifestyle and poor posture: prolonged sitting strains lumbar muscles and joints, while inadequate lumbar support creates muscle imbalances.

Our Approach
How We Treat It
What Causes Low Back Pain
Four anatomical contributors:
Muscles — support the spine and assist movement; strains and sprains cause pain.
Discs — act as shock absorbers; herniation or bulging pressures nerves.
Joints — facet joints can strain or degenerate, causing arthritis-related pain.
Nerves — compression from herniated discs or stenosis creates pain.
Untreated, chronic low back pain can lead to depression, anxiety, incontinence, digestive disorders, infertility, and sleep disturbances.
