Why Back Pain Doesn't Fix Itself

The back is a delicate structure with high flexibility and heavy load demands. After treating thousands of back and spine-related cases across our locations, we’ve seen how waiting often makes things worse.

Ignoring back pain can lead to compensatory posture, muscular imbalance, chronic stiffness and decreased lumbar stability. What begins as mild tension can evolve into persistent pain that affects sleep, training, and daily performance.

The good news? With the right approach, most back pain is completely reversible.

Common Conditions We Treat in

At Alinea Performance, we specialize in treating a wide range of back conditions:

Lumbar Spondylosis

Age-related spine changes causing lower back stiffness and pain; this condition involves vertebral degeneration and bone spur formation.

Lumbar Disc Herniation

A slipped or bulging disc in the lower spine that often causes shooting leg pain and sciatica by compressing a nerve root.

Lumbar Stenosis

Spinal canal narrowing in the low back, leading to nerve compression and symptoms like leg cramping and difficulty with walking (neurogenic claudication).

Lumbar Disc Degeneration

Natural breakdown of spinal discs, resulting in chronic lower back pain and loss of disc height.

Lumbar Radiculopathy

Pain, numbness, or tingling that travels down the leg, signaling a pinched nerve or nerve root compression in the lumbar spine.

Lumbar Muscle Strain

A common cause of back pain involving a sudden injury or pulled muscle in the low back.

Sciatica

Radiating leg pain originating from the sciatic nerve, typically caused by a herniated disc or bone spur pressing on the nerve root.

Lumbar Pinched Nerve

Nerve root entrapment in the low back causing localized pain, numbness, and tingling; a primary cause of radicular symptoms.

SIJ Pain

Pain in the buttock or low back due to dysfunction or inflammation of the sacroiliac joint.

Lumbar Arthritis

Osteoarthritis or other inflammatory conditions affecting the joints of the lower spine, resulting in chronic pain and morning stiffness.

Chronic LBP

Persistent back pain lasting over 12 weeks; requires comprehensive strategies for long-term pain management.

Lumbar Bone Spurs

Bony growths on the spine's vertebrae, often associated with spinal arthritis and sometimes leading to nerve impingement.

We Fix the Root Cause of Back Pain — Not Just the Symptoms

Most clinics focus only on stretching, ice, or “core exercises.” We look deeper. We assess joints, discs, nerves, mobility, and movement mechanics so we can treat why your back hurts—not just calm it down temporarily.

A Clear, Personalized Roadmap to Full Recovery

No guessing, no generic handouts. You’ll know exactly what’s causing your back pain, what movements help vs. hurt, and the step-by-step plan we’ll use to fix it. Clarity reduces fear—and speeds up healing.

Stay Active While You Heal (No More “Just Rest for 6 Weeks”)

The #1 false belief in back pain is thinking you need rest. Research shows movement is key. We help you stay active, train safely, and regain confidence without making your back worse.

1:1 Care With a Doctor of Physical Therapy

No techs, no rushed appointments. Every session is fully 1-on-1 with a DPT who adjusts treatment based on your progress so you improve faster and avoid chronic flare-ups.

Hands-On Treatment + Performance-Based Rehab

Back pain rarely resolves with exercises alone. We blend hands-on care, dry needling, mobility work, directional loading, and progressive strengthening so you feel relief quickly and build long-term resilience.

A Proven Track Record With Active Adults, Lifters, and Athletes

We understand active people because we treat active people. Whether your back hurts during lifting, sitting, running, or work—we build a program that gets you back to the lifestyle you love.
