Lower Back Injuries (Strains, Herniated Discs)
Lower back injuries—such as muscle strains or herniated discs—are some of the most common workplace injuries. Whether caused by heavy lifting, prolonged sitting, or repetitive motion, these conditions can interfere with your ability to work, move comfortably, and stay active. With focused rehab, you can reduce pain and safely return to your job.
