TCM for Back Pain

Back pain is a common issue that affects people of all ages, from working adults to seniors. Our TCM approach focuses on identifying the underlying causes and supporting the body’s natural recovery process.

Understanding Back Pain

Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can stem from daily activities such as poor posture, prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, or repetitive strain. It may also be linked to conditions like slipped discs, muscle tension, or age-related changes in the spine.

Signs You May Need Back Pain Treatment

Persistent discomfort, stiffness, or limited movement are signs that you may benefit from professional support. Pain that radiates to the legs or worsens with certain activities can also indicate the need for targeted care.
