Back Pain
Are you an athlete, sports enthusiast, or physically active adult being hindered due to back pain?
We don’t want you to give up your desired lifestyle because of problems that can be fixed.
A personal Message From Dr. Joe Terrill
Do you have concerns about persistent back pain and stiffness that doesn’t seem to be getting better, even though you’ve tried giving it plenty rest and time?
Do you feel frustrated because your pain is either not improving or getting worse, despite trying pain medications, massage, or chiropractic treatment?
Are you tired of hearing healthcare providers tell you to simply rest your back more, that you need to back off from your normal activities, or that you’re getting older and this is just your “new normal”?
Are you finding it difficult to return to your usual running, lifting, exercising, golfing, or other sports activities due to fear of aggravating your pain?
Are you a health-conscious individual looking for a real, lasting solution so you can continue leading your active lifestyle without being held back by pain?
If any of these questions resonate with you, and you answered “Yes” to any of them, then you have absolutely found the right place for you.
People often think back pain is nothing to worry about, and that it will go away on its own. It’s also common to blame it on “getting older”, “awkward sleeping position”, a “spasm”, or something everyone suffers from at some point…
If you find yourself in this situation, know that you are not alone, and that we frequently encounter cases like this.
Across all sports and physical activity, back pain is one of the most common problems we encounter at our clinic.
Before being seen at driven, most clients experiencing back pain are advised ...
- To rest, stop lifting, or decrease their participation in their sport
(only to find that their pain still persists months later) - That pain is a natural part of aging, and that they need to accept it as their new status quo
- To simply manage their back pain with medication … for the rest of their life
- That the only “real” fix is either injections or surgery
the reality about back pain in athletes is ...
- Simply resting isn’t going to fix most problems. In fact, if your back pain persists more than a few days, more rest simply isn’t going to cut it.
- Developing back pain and stiffness as you age is NOT normal. Pain is your body’s warning signal that you have a problem that needs to be addressed (like a “check engine” light).
- Pain medications are addictive, hazardous, and can lead to several health complications.
- Surgery and injections both carry risks, are not guaranteed fixes, and are not the only alternatives available. They are just the only options your surgeon may propose to you.
Our mission is to help athletes and active adults avoid medications, injections, and surgery, recover quickly from injuries, achieve a level of performance beyond anything they have experienced, and maintain peak performance throughout their lives.
Determining the correct path forward can be daunting while dealing with a back injury, especially with so many options available, and so many differing opinions being offered.
- Maybe you attempted some stretches you’re familiar with, or a stretching routine recommended by someone you know, but you didn’t really find it effective.
- Perhaps you have already seen another healthcare provider – your primary care doctor, an orthopedic surgeon, a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, a massage therapist, or even another physical therapist, but their suggestions or treatments didn’t provide the relief you need.
- Maybe you’ve tried exercises recommended by supposed “experts” on YouTube or social media, only to make your pain worse.
- Or maybe you’ve tried participating in a Yoga or Pilates session, but pain and stiffness slowed you down throughout, leaving you feeling no better (or even worse) than before.
… and, still, your physician continues to advise more rest and medications.
when it comes to solving a serious issue like back pain and stiffness ...
Selecting the appropriate healthcare provider is crucial.
If you don’t, you may end up becoming addicted to pain medications, undergoing unnecessary and risky surgery, and potentially dealing with the after-effects for the rest of your life, limiting your ability to fully participate in the activities you love.
If you choose the right healthcare provider, you’ll receive the least-invasive, most natural treatment possible to not just solve your back pain and restore your ability to continue with your favorite activities, but also be able to prevent your back pain from recurring in the future.
And you’ll be able to continue operating at a high level of performance for the rest of your life.
To achieve that, you need a provider who isn’t solely focused on treating the pain, but is also invested in figuring out WHY the pain occurred in the first place.
This is when you’ll receive a PERMANENT solution to your problems.
Are you ready to get rid of your back pain for good, without worrying if it will limit you again in the future?

I was suffering from 6 months of off and on excruciating nerve pain in my lower back, right side. After just 2 sessions, the pain was gone. Dr. Joe actually chose the winning exercise in our first session. He also gave me doable exercises for core strengthening to help with general back ache. I highly recommend him.
