Back pain consists of any pain, stiffness and/or discomfort in parts of the back ranging from the lower neck to the lower back. Pain in the back can be presented differently based on severity, duration and etiology. Coquitlam specialist for back pain offer targeted solutions.

Back pain can be acute or chronic back pain and may present as dull pain or sharp pain or both depending on the cause of the pain. The pain may also be accompanied by neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling and/or weakness in some cases.

The back is classically categorized into three regions of upper back, middle back and lower back.

Types of Back Pain include:

  1. Lower Back Pain
    Lower back pain can be acute (lasting less than 6 months) or chronic (more than 6 months). It may be mechanical, due to issues with the spine, or discs, or non-mechanical, like pain from kidney stones. If untreated, acute pain may become chronic, leading to persistent low back pain. Back pain physiotherapy can be effective in managing these conditions.
  2. Middle Back Pain
    The middle back, or thoracic spine, generally has less mobility and is less prone to issues like disc herniations and muscle strains. However, postural strain, accidents, rib joint dysfunctions, or scapular issues can cause mid-back pain, limiting the ease of daily activities.
  3. Upper Back Pain
    Upper back pain affects the upper thoracic and lower cervical spine regions and often includes the upper trapezius and levator muscles. Many cases of upper back or even neck pain stem from prolonged postural strain and muscle fatigue due to immobility. Chiropractic care and manual therapy are beneficial for these issues.

Symptoms of This Condition:

  • Back Pain

  • Back Stiffness

  • Back Discomfort

  • Acute Pain

  • Chronic Pain

  • Dull Pain

  • Sharp Pain

  • Numbness

  • Tingling

  • Weakness

Common sources include muscle strain, facet or sacroiliac joint irritation, disc injury, and nerve compression. Your pain pattern and the movements that worsen or relieve it help guide diagnosis and a targeted treatment plan. Pelvic floor physiotherapy and physical therapy are part of our comprehensive approach. Pain management is crucial for effective recovery.

Common Causes of Condition Include:

  • Spinal Stenosis

  • Disc Herniations and Disc Bulge Pain

  • Postural-related Back Pain

  • Nerve Roots Impingements

  • Visceral-referred Back Pain

During my second pregnancy I started having back pains, after getting back to gym the back pain got worse and adding to that pain, my neck got stiff again. I was recommended to see Dr Sabagha by a friend. She was so knowledgeable and helpful. She explained me why I was having a pain. I've never been to a chiropractor before so I was a little afraid of the "cracks" that would be done to parts of my body, but Dr. Sabbaghan made sure that I was comfortable and it was absolutely painless! I couldn't believe it, but right after she finished doing her "manipulations" I felt much much better. After that, Dr Sabaghan showed me exercises that I need to do by myself and made sure I was doing them right. I am already waiting for my next appointment with her. I highly recommend Dr Sabagha to anyone in pain. She is doing magic !!

I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Kimiya Sabbaghana to anyone seeking chiropractic treatment. Dr. Sabbaghana has helped relieve my chronic neck and back pain tremendously, doing so in an atmosphere that was thorough and patient-centered. While providing me with excellent treatment, she has also encouraged me to take control of my pain through a multi-disciplinary perspective that has changed the way I approach my journey to physical health.

I saw Kimiya at the recommendation of my massage therapist for some numbness Inwas feeling in my fingers. She isolated the issue and used various modalities to treat my issues. I started to see improvement after the first visit and am continually amazed at how she has helped me. I also had her treat my son who was complaining of severe back pain and he couldn't believe that after one visit he felt the best he had felt in months.

I had never gone to a chiropractor before and have always been hesitant, but Kimiya made me feel very comfortable right from the start and has been awesome in helping me out with my back pain and helping me improve little by little with our sessions and also constructive excercises that she teaches me each visit. Definitely 2 thumbs up, highly recommended!

Dr. Kimiya is awesome! After seeing an RMT for a year with no luck, and a mid-back injury that was getting worse by the day, I had accepted that the injury was never going to go away and I would just live with the pain forever. I decided to see a chiro, but wasn't holding my breath heading in to my first visit. Dr. Kimiya immediately changed my mind, as she started trying different techniques to figure out exactly where the problem was stemming from. She is always welcoming and friendly, and very attentive on each visit, asking specific questions to see what has changed in between treatments, and then tweaks treatment based on the feedback. She also provides helpful exercises to do at home in between treatments. I would highly recommend Dr. Kimiya!

Seeing Dr. Kimiya has been life changing for me. Not only is she the most personable doctor I have ever met. My back and body haven’t felt this good for years. She has helped me get relief to my neck shoulders and jaw. She takes your rehabilitation to another level. She doesn’t just crack your back she uses a variety of tools to help relax and heal your body. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to finally stop hurting and head on the road of recovery and relief. Thank you Dr. Kimiya!!

Dr. Kimiya is very professional! I went in for back pain. She knew exactly what was wrong and was able to fix it within two sessions. She is not looking to give you unnecessary treatment, she will only ask you to return if you need to. She is kind and makes sure you feel comfortable with every step of the procedure. I cannot recommend her enough!

Kamiya is so nice and professional! I didn't have good experience in the past with another chiropractor but I love to visit her now. It helps a lot with my headache and backpain.
