Understanding Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons Canadians seek physiotherapy — and one of the most treatable. Whether you're dealing with a sudden injury, a nagging ache that won't go away, or recurring flare-ups, physiotherapy can identify the root cause and give you the tools to recover fully and prevent future episodes.

Back pain can originate from muscles, joints, discs, or nerves in the spine. It ranges from acute (sudden onset) to chronic (lasting more than 3 months). At Interlink Physiotherapy in Ancaster, we perform a thorough assessment to determine exactly what's driving your pain — whether it's a disc herniation pressing on a nerve, tight hip flexors creating lumbar strain, or a facet joint irritation from poor posture. Understanding the source is the first step to lasting relief.

Common Symptoms

Sharp or dull aching pain in the lower or upper back
Pain that radiates into the buttocks or legs (sciatica)
Stiffness and reduced range of motion
Pain that worsens with sitting, standing, or bending
Muscle spasms or tightness
Numbness or tingling in the legs or feet
Pain that improves with movement but worsens at rest
Difficulty standing up straight

Common Causes

  • Muscle or ligament strain from heavy lifting or sudden awkward movements
  • Disc herniation or bulging disc pressing on spinal nerves
  • Degenerative disc disease or osteoarthritis
  • Poor posture from prolonged sitting or desk work

Sierra

Ankle Fracture Recovery

"I had my initial assessment with Dhiman Patel and it was excellent! He was meticulous and kind — pairing what I told him with what his assessment found. I left with exercises to do and an explanation of what the root of my pain was. Pleasantly, I have already found my pain decrease through the movement I was prescribed. I valued the education, empowerment, and optimism I received at this first visit. The space is very welcoming and clean."
