Lower Back Pain

Discover the power of integrative medicine in treating lower back pain.

Risk of developing back pain

One of the most common reasons why people seek medical attention or miss work is due to lower back pain.

Factors That Increase the Risk of Lower Back Pain

  • Age. As we age lower back pain becomes more common, starting around 30 or 40.
  • Excess weight. Weight gain puts extra stress on the back.
  • Disease. Some types of arthritis and cancer can contribute to lower back pain.
  • Improper lifting. Using the back instead of the legs can lead to a herniated or slipped disc.
  • Psychological conditions. People prone to depression and anxiety appear to have a greater risk of lower back pain. Stress can cause muscle tension, which can contribute to the pain.
  • Smoking. Smokers have increased rates of lower back pain. This may occur because smoking causes coughing, which can lead to herniated disks. Smoking also can decrease blood flow and constrict blood vessels to the spine and increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Fortunately, there are measures that can help prevent or relieve these episodes.

I've been going to Dr Feng and her team for over two years now and I have nothing but great things to say about them. When I arrived I had a laundry list of complaints and health issues. I was out of options because the ordinary medical industry failed me. It took some time and patience but Dr Feng and her team have brought me back to life, and without the use of pharmaceuticals. Everyone there is so kind and nurturing, exactly what I was looking for. The facilities are clean and top notch and the treatments are fantastic. I would not hesitate to work with them!

This place is really nicely built and decorated. Sitting there feels good… I know right, seems weird to feel this way in a medical center, but they just have done a great job to make you feel at ease. While I was sitting there I overheard another patient having the same positive reflection. Went there for a vaccine. Staff is knowledgeable and kind. If I need any further assistance I will be back here.

Physical therapy is amazing. My arm was injured and it has been painful and weak for over three months. I was desperate and depressed because the function of my arm is lost. Today I had a treatment in Northern medical center and I feel much better. The therapist is patient and nice. I am glad I found a great doctor. Many thanks to Northern medical center and my physical therapist.

This is probably the best Medical Center I’ve ever been to. All the staff are really friendly and helpful! The facilities are also very nice. I went in for a few acupuncture sessions with Dr. Liang, and she was very helpful; she also made me feel right at home with how attentive she was. I will definitely come back in the future, and I highly recommend this place to everyone!
