Low back pain is a common condition that can cause significant discomfort and impact daily activities. Low back pain refers to any pain or discomfort in the lower part of the spine, which can result from poor posture, muscle strain, or injury.
If you’re suffering from low back pain, you’re not alone. Many people who come to us have dealt with this issue for years – sometimes even 20 to 30 years. The causes are often related to core weakness, poor posture from sitting at a computer, or the strain of being sedentary for extended periods due to daily activities or work.
What happens over time is that the lack of core support leads to compression in the discs and spine, resulting in ongoing degeneration. This can have a significant impact on your life. It might stop you from playing with your kids, enjoying sports with friends and family, or even taking a much-needed vacation with your loved ones. The inability to stand or walk for long periods can be devastating, not just physically but emotionally, as it affects your ability to enjoy life and maintain your identity.
On the other hand, back pain and sciatica pain can also be from the weekend warrior or the occasional times that someone overdoes it. Whether it’s pushing it with sports, lifting weights beyond your prepared capability, or just overdoing it in the garden with your friends with golf while the body is under high fatigue that you strain something, we get it, we’ve all been there. Here at SJPT we do not believe in over-use injuries, just an under-prepared joints or tissues in your body for the intended activity that you want to do, or any activity that you have not done in a long time, we’ve got you!
Lower back pain can present a range of symptoms, from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain that significantly impacts daily life. Common symptoms include stiffness, soreness, and a limited range of motion in the lower back, making it difficult to bend or twist. You might also experience muscle weakness, tingling, or a burning sensation in the legs or feet.
These symptoms can severely affect your overall quality of life. Simple activities, such as walking, bending, or even standing for extended periods, become uncomfortable or painful. For those who suffer from chronic lower back pain, maintaining good posture or performing routine tasks like lifting, carrying, or even just sitting can be difficult or even impossible. Sleep is often disrupted as finding a comfortable position becomes a challenge, leading to fatigue and irritability throughout the day.
This perpetual cycle of pain and low mood can be difficult to break if you don’t receive the appropriate support. At South Jersey Physical Therapy, we have successfully treated thousands of patients with low back pain using natural remedies such as dry needling and electromagnetic stimulation.

If you’ve already tried treatments like acupuncture, pain management injections, massage therapy, chiropractic care, or even traditional physical therapy without finding lasting relief, we understand how disheartening that can be. That’s why our approach is different.
At South Jersey Physical Therapy, we start by assessing where your condition is truly coming from. While the pain may be in your back, the body is an interconnected system, and often the root cause lies elsewhere. If key support areas in your body aren’t functioning properly, they can contribute to the ongoing strain and degeneration in your spine.
Our goal is to identify the true root cause of your pain and address it comprehensively. We work to restore the height and alignment of your spine, improve disc health, and enhance mobility so the spine can get the nutrition and healing it needs. Your body has an incredible ability to recover, and with the right treatment, we can help you regain your strength, mobility, and quality of life.
