Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, but it shouldn't be the reason you stop living your life. Whether you’re a powerlifter dealing with a "tweaked" back or a desk-bound professional struggling with stiffness, Meyer Sports Therapy provides the specialized care needed to resolve pain and restore normal function in your lower back.

We don't just "crack backs." We use a comprehensive, movement-based approach to stabilize your spine and keep you out of the doctor's office.

Lower back pain is rarely due to just one source. Our Grandview clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating the following:

• Lumbar Disc Herniations & Bulges: when spinal discs lose their strength and integrity, they can irritate nearby nerves, causing local pain or sometimes tingling/burning radiating pain into the legs.

• Muscle Strains & Ligament Sprains: Very common in sports and daily lifting, these soft tissue injuries require targeted manual therapy to heal correctly.

• Facet Joint Syndrome: The small joints of the spine can become "locked" or inflamed, leading to sharp pain when twisting or bending backward.

• SI Joint Dysfunction: Pain located right at the belt line, often caused by poor pelvic stability or biomechanical imbalances.

We believe in a movement first approach. Unlike traditional clinics that might just offer e-stim or a heating pad, our Sciatica Treatment includes:

• Trigger Point Dry Needling to reduce inflammation and sensitivity to the nearby muscles.

• Chiropractic Adjusting: to improve motion in the lower back and reduce compression on the lumbar discs.

• Targeted exercise therapy using safe techniques such as the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy or specific "nerve flossing" exercises which helps desensitize the nervous system and improve blood flow to the affected area.

• We create a custom plan to strengthen your core and posterior chain, ensuring your spine has the support it needs to prevent future flare ups.
