Back pain is one of the top reasons people miss work, skip workouts, and cut activities short — and it’s an incredibly common issue we see in the Citrus Park community. Whether it came on suddenly after yard work or has built up gradually, back pain almost always has an identifiable cause.
Common culprits: sedentary desk jobs, weekend warrior injuries, poor lifting mechanics, weak core muscles, and degenerative changes like disc issues that build up over time.
Why “just resting” often backfires: total inactivity can weaken the muscles that support your spine. A proper evaluation identifies which movements are safe and which muscles need strengthening, so you’re healing instead of guessing.
What treatment includes: manual therapy to relieve tension, core and hip strengthening to support the lower back, dry needling for guarding muscles, movement retraining for lifting and bending, and a progressive home program to build lasting resilience.
Citrus Park’s active community — from weekend sports to families managing busy schedules — means back pain shows up in a lot of different ways. A personalized pt evaluation is the fastest way to figure out your specific cause and build a plan around it. Ready to move without hesitation? Schedule an evaluation today.
