Understanding the Source of Your Pain

Back pain can develop for many reasons, including:

  • Muscle strain or tension
  • Disc irritation or injury
  • Joint stiffness or degeneration
  • Nerve irritation (sciatica)
  • Poor movement patterns
  • Weakness or deconditioning

Identifying the root cause is key to creating a treatment plan that works.

Back Conditions We Commonly Treat

  • Lower back pain
  • Upper back pain
  • Sciatica and nerve pain
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Chronic back stiffness
  • Work or activity-related strain

Whether symptoms started recently or have been present for years, treatment focuses on restoring function and reducing pain.

A Targeted Approach to Recovery

Treatment may include a combination of:

  • Manual therapy to improve joint and tissue mobility
  • Corrective exercise to build strength and support
  • Movement retraining to reduce strain on the spine
  • Education to prevent flare-ups
  • The goal is not just short-term relief, but long-term resilience.

Dr. Permar has worked with thousands of patients dealing with back pain — from recent injuries to long-standing chronic conditions.

His approach focuses on practical solutions that fit your body, your lifestyle, and your goals — whether that’s returning to work, exercise, or simply moving without constant discomfort.
