Are You Suffering With Back Pain
And sciatica?
If you’ve got back pain, stiffness, or an ache that lingers across your lower or mid-back, it’s very tempting to think it’s nothing—that it’ll just go away on its own. Or you pass it off as having “pulled something,” slept in a weird position, or assume it’s just the kind of discomfort that “everyone your age” deals with…
There’s no clear reason why it started, or maybe it came on gradually after sitting too long, lifting something, or doing chores around the house—but the pain just isn’t improving.
If that’s what you’re experiencing, you’re not alone—and we hear this all the time. In fact, Chronic Back Pain, Sciatica, and Disc-Related Pain are among the most common problems we treat in our physical therapy clinic right here in Naples, FL.

What Is Back Pain?
Low back pain is one of the most common issues we see at Freedom Physical Therapy and Fitness, affecting people of all ages and lifestyles. It can appear suddenly after a specific movement or injury, or it can develop slowly over many years. Some people experience low back pain after lifting something heavy and twisting the wrong way, while others have lived with it for two or three decades without fully understanding why it began. Whether the pain is acute or chronic, mild or severe, it often stems from similar causes – poor posture, weak body mechanics, repetitive strain, or age-related changes.
Low back pain can significantly interfere with daily life. It can make simple tasks difficult, restrict movement, and prevent people from doing activities they love. Over time, persistent discomfort can take an emotional toll, sometimes leading to frustration, anxiety, or even depression. That’s why understanding what low back pain is – and what you can do about it – is so important.
What are the symptoms of Back Pain?
Low back pain can present in a wide range of sensations and patterns. Common symptoms include:
- Sharp, stabbing pain in the lower back
- A dull, constant ache
- Tightness, stiffness, or a feeling of tension
- Pain that radiates outward toward the sides of the back
- Discomfort traveling down one or both legs
- Electrical or shooting sensations
- Burning, numbness, tingling, or nerve-like symptoms
- Signs consistent with sciatica
- Difficulty standing, walking, or changing positions
- Increased discomfort during certain movements or activities
These symptoms can limit social activities, interfere with daily responsibilities, and make people withdraw from hobbies they enjoy. Left untreated, they can negatively impact both physical and mental well-being.
