Symptoms

Symptoms of Chronic Back Pain

There are several symptoms to look for when you experience chronic back pain that may indicate you have a larger problem than a strained muscle.

  • Persistent aching or stiffness along your spine
  • Sharp pain in the neck, upper back, or lower back during normal activity
  • Chronic aching in the lower back when sitting or standing for long periods
  • Pain traveling into the hip, buttock, or leg
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness

When Pain Keeps Coming Back

If your pain improves temporarily but returns again and again, the root cause may not be fully addressed. Illinois Back Institute evaluates your spine, discs, nerves, muscles, and movement patterns to build a treatment plan around the source of your pain.

Why Pain Keeps Coming Back

3 Reasons Why Back Pain Keeps Coming Back

If back pain keeps returning despite treatment, the issue may be more complex than the symptoms alone. Understanding why previous approaches have not provided lasting relief can be an important step toward finding the right treatment plan.

01

The Symptoms Were Treated, Not the Underlying Cause

Some treatments are designed primarily to reduce pain and inflammation. While they may provide temporary relief, persistent pain can return when the underlying mechanical or structural issue has not been fully addressed.

03

Your Treatment May Not Have Addressed the Whole System

The discs, nerves, muscles, and movement patterns of the spine work together. Illinois Back Institute evaluates how these components function as a system to develop a personalized, non-surgical treatment approach.

Treatment Solution

Functional Disc Stabilization™ and Physical Therapy

Many doctors recommend surgery for chronic back pain, but it is important to understand all your options first.

Illinois Back Institute specializes in a natural, drug-free, non-surgical solution to back pain called Functional Disc Stabilization™ combined with physical therapy.
