When most people think about back pain, they think about muscles, joints, and posture. 🦴

But a recent study suggests the picture may be bigger than that.

Researchers found that poor metabolic health and unhealthy lifestyle habits were associated with greater odds of low back pain and pain-related disability.

Physical inactivity was among the strongest factors associated with both neck and back pain. 🚶‍♂️

Pain doesn't occur in a vacuum. What happens outside the clinic can be just as important as what happens inside it.

That's why our approach combines movement, exercise, and hands-on care with discussions about the other factors that may influence recovery.

Is your breathing impacting your low back pain? 🤔

When most people think about treating low back pain, they think about stretching, strengthening, and spinal adjustments. But breathing may also play an important role.

Your diaphragm is not just a breathing muscle. It also helps support core stability and works with other muscles to stabilize the spine.

Research has shown that adding breathing exercises to common low back pain treatments may help improve recovery in people with chronic low back pain.
