If you’ve tried everything for your back pain—chiropractors, pain meds, injections, maybe even surgery—but you’re still hurting… you're not alone. Millions of people are stuck in the frustrating cycle of “treatment after treatment” with no real relief. The problem? Most doctors are looking at your MRI, not your whole story.
At OC Spine & Sports, we look deeper.
Your core might be strong—but if it's not firing properly, it can't stabilize your spine. This is common post-injury and after spine surgery.
Limited hip mobility throws off your gait, forcing your low back to work overtime. That “back pain” may actually be a compensation pattern.
Not all nerve pain comes from a herniated disc. The pudendal, femoral, or lateral femoral cutaneous nerves can get compressed—and no one’s looking for them.
Roughly 20-40% of spine surgeries don’t provide lasting relief. Scar tissue, adjacent level issues, or incomplete diagnosis can all contribute.
If your gut microbiome is inflamed, your spine might be too. Fascial inflammation and autoimmunity are emerging culprits in chronic pain.
