Chronic Lower Back Pain

Chronic low back pain is one of the most common complaints we treat—especially pain that worsens with sitting, bending, standing, or lifting. Whether caused by a disc bulge, herniated disc, or pinched nerve, the pain can linger for months and interfere with everyday life.

We treat conditions like lumbar disc injuries, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, facet joint irritation, SI joint dysfunction, and hip flexor (psoas) restriction. Many of our patients are told their MRI looks normal or have tried PT, chiropractic, or injections with no long-term relief.

You might notice:

• Sharp pain getting out of a chair

• Lock-up or spasm when bending down

• Pain after sitting for more than 20 minutes

• Morning stiffness that takes time to loosen

• Numbness or tingling in the glutes or legs

• Discomfort standing, twisting, or walking

Often, the overlooked cause is adhesion—tissue that builds up inside muscles or around nerves, limiting movement and overloading nearby structures. Adhesions don’t show on imaging, but they’re common and treatable.

At Resolve STS in Charlotte, we use a 6-step hands-on system to find and fix the exact source—so you can move, bend, and live without pain.
