Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical help, and it can affect anyone — from athletes to office workers. At Mountain West Sport & Spine Physical Therapy in Meridian, ID, we understand that every back pain story is different.
Our goal is to identify the real cause of your discomfort and design a plan that restores strength, balance, and confidence in your movement.
1. Poor Posture and Core Weakness
Sitting for long hours or slouching at your desk can strain your lower back muscles and joints. Over time, this leads to stiffness, muscle fatigue, and chronic pain.
Our therapists teach posture correction, core stabilization, and movement strategies that support your spine and prevent long-term issues.
2. Muscle Strain or Overuse
Sudden lifting, twisting, or repetitive motion can cause small tears in your back muscles, leading to spasms and inflammation.
Physical therapy helps reduce pain, rebuild strength, and restore flexibility through targeted stretching, manual therapy, and guided exercise programs.
3. Herniated or Bulging Discs
A herniated disc occurs when spinal discs press on surrounding nerves, causing pain, tingling, or numbness.
Through gentle spinal manipulation, joint mobilization, and core reconditioning, our team helps relieve nerve pressure and restore alignment safely and effectively.
4. Sedentary Lifestyle or Weak Mobility
Lack of movement weakens supporting muscles and reduces flexibility, putting more stress on your spine.
Our movement-based rehabilitation and functional training programs help you regain motion, improve balance, and stay active without pain.
5. Sports or Work-Related Injuries
Athletes and manual laborers are especially prone to back strain and repetitive stress injuries.
At Mountain West, we use sports-specific therapy, dry needling, and strength training to help you recover faster and prevent re-injury.
