Understanding Back Pain and Sciatica
Back pain and sciatica are among the most common complaints we see. Whether your discomfort stems from herniated discs, poor posture, or muscle imbalances, it’s essential to address the root cause for effective, long-term relief. Sciatica, often characterized by shooting pain, numbness, or tingling down the leg, can result from pressure on the sciatic nerve caused by conditions like spinal stenosis or disc herniation.
Common Causes of Back & Sciatica Pain:
- Muscle or ligament strain
- Degenerative disc disease
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal stenosis
- Poor posture or alignment issues
Why Address Pain Early?
Ignoring back or sciatica pain can lead to worsening symptoms and limited mobility. Many patients come to us after months—or even years—of discomfort, often compounded by additional issues like neck pain or shoulder stiffness. Early intervention with physical therapy can prevent further complications and help you get back to your life sooner.

Ray is outstanding with teenage baseball players. I brought my son to him after he started having shoulder pain from pitching and catching. Ray quickly assessed the situation and created a personalized program that not only helped him recover but also strengthened his shoulder. Highly recommend for young athletes and truly folks of all ages.

For years I suffered with debilitating migraines that affected my life majorly. I finally met a neurologist that suggested physical therapy because I had adverse reactions to medication and had found no relief from other alternative therapies. I could not be more happy with the results. Our time together has changed my life and given me the tools to be able to manage my pain. I have my life back! Ray is very skilled and knowledgeable. If you do the work he suggests you will see improvement.
