Back Pain Relief in Edmonton
Back pain has a way of touching everything — how you sleep, how you sit through a workday, how you play with your kids or get through a workout. Whether it’s a dull ache that’s been building for months or something that flared up suddenly, our Edmonton team focuses on understanding why your back is struggling, not just where it hurts.
Understanding Back Pain
Back pain can originate almost anywhere along the spine, from the muscles and ligaments supporting it to the joints and discs themselves. Most back pain isn’t caused by a single dramatic event — it’s the result of accumulated strain, whether from posture, movement habits, or simply not enough variety in how you move day to day. That’s good news, in a way: it usually means there’s a clear, addressable cause underneath it.
Common Root Causes of Back Pain
- Poor posture — sustained positions, especially sitting, that place uneven load on the spine
- Prolonged sitting — long stretches without movement, which weakens the muscles that support the lower back
- Muscle weakness or imbalance — particularly in the core and glutes, leaving the lower back to compensate
- Improper lifting mechanics — using the back instead of the legs, or twisting under load
- A sedentary lifestyle or a previous injury — reduced overall movement, or an old strain that never fully resolved
How Golden Palm Can Help
We build your plan around what’s actually driving the pain, whether that’s structural, muscular, or a combination. Your plan may include:
- Massage Therapy — releasing the muscle tension and guarding that builds up around a sore back
- Manual Osteopathic Therapy — assessing and addressing joint mechanics and alignment along the spine
- Yoga — building the core strength and mobility that helps keep pain from coming back
Every practitioner is fully licensed and in active standing with CRMTA and CMMOTA.
A note on insurance: many extended health plans cover treatment for back pain. Golden Palm offers direct billing to 35+ insurers, so you can focus on getting better.
