What Is Low Back Pain?
Low back pain is one of the most widespread physical complaints worldwide. In fact, studies show that up to 80 to 90 percent of people will seek some type of healthcare support for low back discomfort at some point in their lives. The pain can stay localized in the lower spine, or it may radiate into the hips, glutes, hamstrings, or even further down the legs. Because nearly everyone experiences it at some stage, low back pain has become a significant issue that affects daily life, work, and long-term mobility.
Much of this discomfort is linked to how we move and how we live. Modern routines often involve long periods of sitting, limited activity, and positions that place excess strain on the spine. Over time, these habits contribute to stiffness, weakness, and poor mechanics – all of which make low back pain more likely to appear and harder to ignore.
What Are The Symptoms Of Low Back Pain?
Symptoms of low back pain can vary day to day, but they often include aching or stiffness in the lower spine, difficulty bending or straightening up fully, or a pulling sensation through the hips or legs. Some people feel a sharp pain when lifting or twisting. Others notice discomfort that spreads into the glutes or hamstrings, which may indicate irritation along the nerve pathways.
Many individuals also describe feeling tight, weak, or “unstable” during everyday tasks like walking, standing for long periods, or getting out of a chair. When the lower back is irritated, the surrounding muscles work harder to compensate, and this can lead to fatigue, imbalance, and reduced confidence in movement.
A key factor behind these symptoms is inactivity. Sitting for long stretches, using chairs with supportive backs that reduce core engagement, and lifting with poor body mechanics all increase the load on the spine. Over time, these patterns lead to weakness in the abdominal and back muscles, making it more challenging to support healthy posture throughout the day.
What Is Our Approach To Fixing / Treating Low Back Pain?
At Taylor Physical Therapy, we take a whole-body, movement-centered approach to low back pain. Many of our patients come to us after trying standard care elsewhere – stretching routines, massage, heat therapy, or generalized exercise programs – without lasting relief. While those methods may help temporarily, they rarely address the full picture of why the pain developed in the first place.
When you visit our clinic, the first step is identifying the exact cause of your discomfort. We assess joint mobility, muscle strength, movement patterns, and the role your daily habits may be playing. From there, we build a plan that integrates both regenerative and hands-on therapies.
Regenerative treatments help open up the cellular environment, increase ATP and mitochondrial activity, and support tissue recovery. Techniques like red light therapy and PEMF can enhance cellular energy and optimize healing conditions. We combine these with manual therapy to restore proper joint motion, reduce restricted tissues, and improve muscle function.
Equally important is individualized exercise. Unlike generic routines found online, our programs are tailored to your specific problem. We teach you how to engage your core properly, use safe lifting mechanics, walk with better support, and build strength that translates into real-life movement. Many patients are surprised by how quickly their confidence returns once their biomechanics improve.
We do not rely on passive treatment alone. You will move, work, and stay active throughout your sessions so you can return to a functional, pain-free lifestyle.
