Low back pain is one of the most common conditions affecting adults in the US today. It can be a debilitating issue that can affect someone physically, emotionally, and socially. Tasks as basic as bending down to tie shoelaces or lifting objects can become excruciatingly painful or even impossible. This limitation not only affects personal independence but also hinders participation in work, household chores, and recreational activities.
Emotionally, living with persistent pain can take a toll on mental well-being. It’s common for individuals with chronic low back pain to experience frustration, anxiety, and even depression. The constant discomfort and inability to engage in activities they once enjoyed can lead to feelings of isolation and a sense of loss of control over their lives.
Socially, low back pain can impact relationships and social interactions. Activities that involve socializing or attending events may be avoided due to fear of aggravating pain or the discomfort of having to explain limitations to others. This can lead to feelings of social withdrawal and isolation, affecting both personal relationships and opportunities for social engagement which we all need.
If you’re suffering from low back pain, you’ve probably tried stretching, core exercises, or even some forms of physical therapy, but these might not have provided long-term relief. Many clients come to us thinking it’s normal to wake up with low back pain – it’s not. You shouldn’t wake up every morning with back pain, nor should you have to endure stiffness after sitting for an hour or two. This isn’t just a normal part of aging; it’s often because of improper movement patterns or doing activities that trigger the pain and discomfort.
Justin’s approach to treating low back pain focuses on identifying your specific triggers. What activities cause your low back pain? Is it sitting, standing, lying on your stomach, or certain movements? Understanding these triggers transforms our treatment approach. For many, bending backward might be a trigger, meaning exercises like clean snatches or squats could aggravate the pain. Identifying these triggers allows the team to build a tailored program to strengthen your body while avoiding pain.
For low back pain, Arise Physical Therapy emphasizes core and hip strengthening. Core strengthening isn’t just about doing planks; it’s about engaging your core in standing positions. Exercises like farmer’s carries, suitcase carries, squats, deadlifts, and single-leg movements help load your core effectively. A significant part of the treatment is helping clients be mindful of their core activation in standing positions.
In addition to core strengthening, the team focuses on stabilizing the glutes. Often, clients walk in with back pain, and through manual therapy to release tension in their hips and lower back, followed by core and glute stabilization, their pain can diminish significantly within one or two sessions. The key is maintaining these exercises and techniques, constantly building and reinforcing a strong foundation in the pelvis and spine.
Arise programs are customized and progressive, constantly evolving to meet the specific needs of each client, whether they’re runners, CrossFitters, or just someone wanting to play with their kids or go on vacation without pain. The goal is to help clients wake up feeling their best, free from low back pain, and to transform their lives so they can enjoy daily activities without discomfort.
