Experiencing an inability to sleep, difficulty tying our shoes, difficulty bathing, trouble sitting at work, or trouble standing while waiting in line at the grocery store are often indicators that we are living with a back problem. We may be forced to sit out from our extracurricular sports and unable to enjoy our favorite exercise classes.
Like many conditions, when their is pain or discomfort in one area of the body, and its’s not handled, it can start impacting another area of our body. This pain or discomfort can eventually restrict you from enjoying your night at the movies, throwing the football with your son or participating with your hiking club’s adventures.
Back problems can make it difficult for you to complete your daily routine activities around the house. If you let this condition decrease your activity level, you are increasing your level of dysfunction. As your dysfunction increases, your pain level will also increase. Then the cycle starts over. So you can see why it’s so critical that you handle any discomfort right away.

- Poor Posture
- Core Weakness
