Lower back pain often results from a combination of mechanical issues, such as muscle strains or ligament sprains, and structural problems like herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Our approach focuses on identifying the root cause of your discomfort, whether it's related to poor posture during long workdays in Fairfax or a sports-related strain.
We combine hands-on manual therapy techniques to improve spinal mobility with targeted core stabilization exercises that build a resilient foundation for your back.
