The MASTRS of Motion Tackle Low Back Pain

Low back pain is one of the most common medical issues. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments can strain from overexertion, poor posture, lifting activities, physical stress, and injury.

Degenerative diseases such as arthritis can cause the spinal structures to break down and put pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. Nerve pressure in the lumbar spine can cause symptoms to spread to the buttocks, legs, and feet. This is because the nerves that exit the spinal cord at the lumbar spine travel to these areas.

The majority of people with low back pain find relief with nonsurgical treatments. One of those treatment methods is physical therapy. We're here with a panel of DPTs from OACM ready to talk about how they can help with low back pain.
