Back Pain Treatment: Relief for Lower Back Pain and More
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care — and lower back pain is the leading cause of missed workdays worldwide. Whether your pain started suddenly or has built up over time, the right treatment can make a life-changing difference.
At The Spine & Health Center of New Jersey, we provide comprehensive back pain treatment designed to relieve pain, restore movement, and prevent future injuries. We proudly serve patients in Montvale, Closter, and Park Ridge, NJ.
Understanding Back Pain
Back pain can affect any part of the spine, but the lower back is most commonly impacted because it supports your body’s weight and absorbs daily stress.
Common Causes of Back Pain
- Muscle strains and ligament sprains
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica and nerve compression
- Poor posture or prolonged sitting
- Arthritis and joint degeneration
- Sports or work-related injuries
- Auto accidents and falls
A proper evaluation helps determine the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Symptoms That May Need Back Pain Treatment
You may benefit from professional care if you experience:
- Persistent lower back pain
- Pain that radiates into the legs
- Stiffness or reduced mobility
- Muscle spasms
- Pain that worsens with sitting or standing
- Numbness or tingling
- Difficulty bending, lifting, or walking
Early treatment can prevent acute pain from becoming chronic.
How We Treat Back Pain
At The Spine & Health Center of NJ, back pain care is never one-size-fits-all. We create personalized plans using a combination of evidence-based therapies.
Physical Therapy for Back Pain
Our physical therapy programs focus on:
- Strengthening core and spinal muscles
- Improving posture and movement patterns
- Restoring flexibility and joint mobility
- Reducing the risk of future injuries
Physical therapy is especially effective for lower back pain treatment and long-term recovery.
Chiropractic Care for Back Pain
Chiropractic care helps restore spinal alignment, reduce joint restrictions, and relieve nerve irritation — making it a powerful option for both acute and chronic back pain.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
For patients with disc-related pain, spinal decompression therapy can help:
-
Reduce pressure on spinal discs
-
Improve circulation to injured tissues
-
Support natural healing of the spine
This non-invasive approach is often used for herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic lower back pain.
Treating Lower Back Pain: A Focused Approach
Because lower back pain is the most searched and most common complaint, we take a targeted approach that includes:
- Core stabilization training
- Hip and pelvic alignment therapy
- Postural correction
- Nerve mobility exercises
- Ergonomic and lifestyle guidance
Our goal is not just pain relief — but lasting function and confidence in movement.
Back Pain After an Auto Accident or Injury
If your back pain started after a car accident, fall, or workplace injury, specialized care is essential.
We coordinate treatment through our personal injury services to ensure:
- Proper documentation
- Coordinated care plans
- Support for long-term recovery
When Should You See a Specialist for Back Pain?
You should schedule an evaluation if:
- Pain lasts longer than 1–2 weeks

- You have numbness, tingling, or weakness
- Your daily activities are limited
