Most people have had at least one episode of intense LBP. If you're one of those people, then you know how rare it is to score a same-day treatment appointment!

It's because our body is an  integrated functional unit.  From head to foot, left/right, inside and out, all parts influence each other all of the time.  The image above is one basic example of our true physical nature. Our body is a web of interconnection between muscle, tissues, organs, and fascias. Those connections are how, o ver time, untreated foot, ankle and knee injuries can contribute to low back pain, hip pain, TMJ dysfunction to name a few. Have you ever had an injury that caused you to limp for days, weeks or months? Limping, by its nature, creates an imbalance in weight distribution. That imbalance triggers unequal muscle tightening. Those muscle tensions cause strain on join...
