Conditions We Treat:

Low Back Pain and Sciatica

Millions of Americans are adversely impacted by back pain each year. Studies show that, at one point or another, approximately 80% of the U.S. population will be affected. While there are a lot of treatment options available, many of these only address the symptoms and don’t target the actual cause of your pain or handle it for the long term.

The three main causes of low back pain and sciatica are:

Herniated Discs
Arthritis
Pelvis Issues

Without identifying the correct cause of your pain, there is no way to develop the proper treatment plan. Our physical therapists will find the actual cause of your back pain. The goal of effectively resolving your low back pain or sciatica includes:

Identifying the true cause
Creating a unique plan for your specific condition
Relieving your pain
Restoring your normal motion, flexibility, and mobility
Strengthening the supporting muscle
Returning to your normal activities

Here at Core Rehabilitation, our specialty is back and neck pain. Our therapists are very experienced and have the knowledge and skills to provide different ways to reach your goal of getting back to your normal self again.
