Back pain can cause a lot of disruption and misery in your daily life. At Outlaw, we're here to help you understand your back pain and find ways to manage it effectively.
Back pain can range from a dull ache to a sharp pain. It can affect your lower back, middle back, or upper back.
Common back issues we see at Outlaw include:
- Lower back pain
- Muscle tension and stiffness
- Posture-related discomfort
- Sports-related back strain
At the clinic, we often see back pain resulting from:
1. Poor posture, especially for those with desk jobs
2. Lifting heavy objects incorrectly (common in retail or warehouse work)
3. Sports injuries (incorrect technique at the gym , football , powerlifting)
4. Prolonged sitting, like during long commutes
5. Muscle imbalances or weakness
Even everyday activities can sometimes lead to back pain. We've helped clients who developed issues from gardening or playing with kids or even sleeping wrong.
