Understanding Low Back Arthritis
Low back arthritis, also known as lumbar osteoarthritis or degenerative disc disease, is a common condition characterized by the deterioration of the cartilage and bones in the lower spine. This degeneration can lead to pain, stiffness, and decreased flexibility in the affected area. While low back arthritis is often associated with aging, it can also result from injury, overuse, or genetic factors. It’s symptoms can include:
Chronic low back pain, particularly after periods of inactivity or physical exertion
Stiffness and limited range of motion in the lower back
Difficulty standing up straight or maintaining proper posture
Pain that radiates down the legs (sciatica) due to nerve compression
Weakness or numbness in the legs or feet
Increased pain during rainy weather or changes in barometric pressure
Our Services
-
We utilize hands-on techniques such as joint mobilization, neuromuscular facilitation, and passive range of motion to improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate pain in the affected area.
-
Our physical therapists will design personalized exercise programs to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine, improve flexibility, and promote better posture. These exercises may include stretching, strengthening, and stabilization exercises tailored to your specific condition and abilities.
-
To ensure continuity of care and long-term success, we'll equip you with a home exercise program designed to complement your in-clinic treatments and promote ongoing progress outside of our sessions.
-
We provide education on proper body mechanics, ergonomics, and lifestyle modifications to help you manage your symptoms more effectively and prevent further aggravation of your condition.

Patient Reviews

“Kaitlyn and Greg, therapists at Premier Performance and Physical Therapy, have been doing a great job helping me recover from injuries related to several falls I had. They listen to me and dynamically adjust our sessions to deal with my issues.
They were recommended to me by my daughter who is married to a former professional baseball player. I think everyone in the family has been treated by them for one issue or another over the last year or so. Everyone is highly satisfied with their services and help.
I have already recommended them to a number of my friends, and will continue to do so without reservation.” - John
“I’ve been dealing with morning low back and hip stiffness/pain for many months, especially with my traveling for work. This was preventing me from truly getting back in shape, as well as taking over my mornings.
A friend of mine spoke so highly of Dr. Greg, that I figured I would try out one of his free evaluations. Because he didn't take my insurance, I was skeptical about how many times I could actually come. One month and 4 visits later, I was waking up every morning without any issues.
When I would travel for work, Dr. Greg taught me very easy things and movements to do that would keep my body in check. Not that I’m old, but I no longer feel old, and able to travel and get back into the gym with my wife. Not to mention, he’s a great guy and all of his appointments are enjoyable to go to. I’ll continue sending my friends and family to him!”
