Understanding Spine Pain

Spine pain is a common condition that can arise due to various factors, such as poor posture, muscle strains, herniated discs, or degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. It can significantly impact your mobility, productivity, and overall quality of life. While there are several treatment options available, physical therapy stands out as an effective and non-invasive approach to managing spine pain.
