Take control of your back pain

In this video I talk about some of the common causes of back pain, including things we do in everyday life to get upper back pain and lower back pain. This is by no means an exhaustive list of all the causes, but 5 common ones. Leave a comment below if you found it useful.

Muscle spasms can occur in any muscle in the body, however, in my practice I usually see patients with muscle spasm in the back, neck, lower legs and feet. While most muscle spasms in the back are harmless and can be effectively treated, some indicate that there’s an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.

Latissimus Dorsi or commonly referred to as “Lats” is the biggest muscle of the back and it starts roughly from the pelvis area and runs on both sides of the back, all the way up, and finally attaches into both arm bones (humerus).
