Back Pain FAQs
-
Usually not. MRIs show bulging discs, degeneration, and arthritis in people with zero pain — these are normal age-related changes, not a diagnosis. We treat the person in front of us, not the picture. Imaging makes sense if you have red flags like major trauma, unexplained weight loss, or loss of bowel/bladder control.
-
Probably not. The vast majority of back pain — including herniated discs and sciatica — resolves without surgery. Surgery is a last resort after quality conservative care has failed, not a first step. Our job is to make sure you've truly exhausted the non-surgical options before anyone talks about an operating room.
-
Yes — movement is one of the best treatments for back pain. Bed rest and avoiding activity make it worse. The key is finding the right entry point: the right movements, at the right dose, progressed intelligently. That's exactly what your one-on-one sessions are for.
-
Most of our clients feel better, move better, and are performing within about 10 sessions over a few months. Back pain that has been around for years can take longer, but you should leave your very first visit with a plan and noticeable direction — not a prescription for endless passive treatments.
-
No. California has direct access, which means you can book directly with us without seeing your doctor first. If we find anything that needs medical attention, we'll refer you appropriately.
