Back Pain Relief in Toronto | Effective Treatment Options

Whether you’re experiencing general back pain or sciatica, our physical therapy practice at F.R.O.M. Toronto Pain Relief Clinic can provide the treatment needed for your back pain relief in Toronto. The American Physical Therapy Association states that back pain is the most commonly experienced form of pain.

Back pain commonly results from a muscle strain or injury, such as herniated discs or spinal issues. The most common cause of back pain is a torn or pulled muscle and/or ligament after a fall, car accident (MVA), lifting, or even sustained sitting. You might feel back pain, a heaviness in your back, difficulty bending, sitting, lifting, or twisting, or even numbness and/or weakness in your legs.

However, sometime, the back pain you’re experiencing is the result of sciatica. Sciatica is a common and very specific type of back pain. Those who suffer from sciatica frequently describe it as a sharp, lingering pain affecting the lower back, legs, or buttocks. Sciatica typically develops due to underlying nerve-related issues, making it crucial to seek specialized treatment.

What causes Back pain?

Lumbar Herniated or Bulging Disc: If the cushion-like discs in the lower back burst or protrude, they may put pressure on the spinal nerves, resulting in excruciating pain and discomfort.

Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease: The spinal discs gradually deteriorate with age, providing less cushioning and possibly causing chronic back pain, which is frequently accompanied by stiffness and decreased mobility.

Curvature of the Spine (Scoliosis): Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine that can cause varying degrees of back pain, often accompanied by posture issues and muscle strain.

Whiplash from Motor Vehicle Accidents, Falls, Sustained Sitting, and Lifting: This sudden movement can lead to back pain, muscle strain, and damage to the soft tissues, resulting in discomfort and restricted motion. Long periods of sitting can aggravate back pain by putting undue strain on the structures of the spine.
