Back Pain Treatment in Duncan, BC
Back Pain Can Affect More Than Just Movement
Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions affecting people of all ages and activity levels.
Symptoms may range from occasional stiffness and discomfort to chronic pain that interferes with work, exercise, sleep, and daily movement. Back pain can develop suddenly after injury or gradually over time due to repetitive strain, poor movement patterns, joint dysfunction, muscle tension, or underlying spinal conditions.
At Start Line Health, our team works with patients experiencing a wide range of back pain conditions using integrated rehabilitation and treatment approaches designed to improve movement, reduce pain, and support long-term recovery.
Understanding the Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can involve muscles, joints, discs, nerves, ligaments, or surrounding soft tissues throughout the spine.
Common contributing factors may include:
- Poor posture or prolonged sitting
- Repetitive lifting or physical strain
- Sports and exercise injuries
- Muscle tension and mobility restrictions
- Disc irritation or degeneration
- Nerve compression or sciatica
- Chronic inflammation
- Workplace or overuse injuries
Some patients experience sharp or sudden pain, while others deal with chronic stiffness, recurring flare-ups, or pain that radiates into the hips or legs.
Because back pain can have multiple contributing factors, proper assessment is important for building an effective recovery plan.
