Understanding your symptoms and the next appropriate step.
The short answer
Low back pain has several possible contributors. Assessment checks symptoms and signs that may require medical evaluation and discusses options appropriate to the findings. Many people benefit from remaining appropriately active; the plan and any use of manual therapy should be individualized.
Low back pain can arrive suddenly after lifting or twisting, or build slowly through long days sitting. It may stay local or spread into the buttock. Bed rest tends to slow recovery; guided, confident movement tends to speed it up.
History and examination help guide options and identify concerns that need medical evaluation. Ask what the findings suggest, what remains uncertain and how the proposed plan will be reviewed.
