Most people in the Southern Tier treat lower back pain the same way: rest, ice, maybe a few stretches off the internet. It feels better for a week or two, then it comes roaring back. Sound familiar?
The pain isn't always the problem
Lower back pain is usually a symptom, not a source. Tight hips, a stiff mid-back, or poor movement patterns force the lower back to compensate — and that's where you feel it. Treat only the sore spot and you never touch what's actually driving it.
A movement-first approach
At Twin Tiers, Dr. Britt uses the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) to find exactly where your movement is breaking down. From there, treatment targets the real cause — adjustments, soft-tissue work, and the movement guidance that keeps it from coming back.
If your back pain keeps returning, it's worth getting to the bottom of it. Learn more about how we treat back pain, or book a visit in Hornell or Osceola — call 607-590-6066.
