Mechanical Back and Neck Pain

Mechanical back and neck pain refers to discomfort originating from the spine, muscles, ligaments, or joints, often without nerve compression. This type of pain is commonly caused by strain, poor posture, overuse, or age-related degeneration, and may affect daily function and quality of life.

Arthritis-Related Pain

Arthritis-related pain occurs when the joints become inflamed, leading to stiffness, swelling, and discomfort. This can affect the spine, hips, knees, hands, or other joints, making movement painful and limiting daily activities. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the most common forms, with inflammation damaging cartilage or joint lining over time.

Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction occurs when the sacroiliac joint—which connects the lower spine to the pelvis—becomes inflamed, unstable, or misaligned. This can irritate surrounding ligaments and nerves, causing pain in the lower back, buttocks, or legs. The discomfort may mimic other conditions, such as lumbar disc problems, making accurate diagnosis important.
