Low back problems occur in 60%-70% of the population and can range from minor discomfort to debilitating pain. More severe injuries can occur as a result of car accidents, falls, or work-related injuries which can cause soft tissue, joint or nerve damage. Numbness and tingling associated with back pain can signify pinched nerves or other problems. ActivePT has specialists who are passionate about helping you reduce your pain and regain your mobility.
