Low Back Pain Treatment in Overland Park

Low back pain is one of the most common conditions affecting millions of people worldwide. It can range from a mild, persistent ache to severe, disabling pain that affects your quality of life. Your lower back supports the weight of your upper body and enables movement, making it vulnerable to injury and strain.

Common causes of low back pain include muscle strain from overuse or improper lifting, poor posture, herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, arthritis, and previous injuries. Additionally, sedentary lifestyles, weak core muscles, excess weight, and stress can all contribute to chronic lower back pain.

Whether your low back pain stems from sitting all day at a desk, lifting heavy loads with poor form, or the cumulative stress of repetitive bending, the underlying problem is usually segmental instability or stiffness patterns that disrupt normal spinal mechanics. Many patients experience sharp pain with specific movements (like bending forward or standing), dull aching after prolonged positions, or muscle guarding that limits mobility. The good news: low back pain responds exceptionally well to movement-based care when the right movement patterns are restored.

At Move Muscle & Joint in Overland Park, we identify whether your pain stems from segmental hypomobility (stiff facets and discs) or hypermobility (excessive translation requiring stabilization), then apply specific adjustments, targeted loading exercises, and myofascial release to restore segmental control and movement coordination. This approach eliminates pain at its source by retraining how your spine handles daily loads. We serve patients throughout Overland Park, Leawood, Prairie Village, Lenexa, and the surrounding Kansas City metro area.
