Our expert team combines different therapies and modalities to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
Understanding Back Pain
Back pain can stem from a variety of sources, each with its own set of symptoms and treatment approaches. Here’s a more detailed look at the common causes:
Muscle or Ligament Strain
Heavy lifting, sudden movements, or prolonged poor posture can lead to strains and tears in the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine. These injuries can cause acute pain and stiffness, limiting movement and flexibility.
Bulging Discs
The intervertebral discs serve as cushions between the vertebrae. Age-related wear and tear or injury can cause these discs to bulge or rupture, leading to disc herniation that presses on spinal nerves, causing pain that can radiate to other parts of the body.
Arthritis
Osteoarthritis commonly affects the lower back, leading to the degeneration of cartilage in the joints and discs in the spine. This can result in back stiffness, swelling, and chronic pain. In severe cases, spinal stenosis occurs when the space around the spinal cord narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
Skeletal Irregularities
Conditions such as scoliosis, which involves a curvature of the spine, can lead to discomfort and pain, especially if the curve of the spine affects posture and the distribution of weight and stress on the spine.

Back Pain Relief Winnipeg FAQs
What Should I Expect on My First Visit?
On your first visit to Harbourview Therapy, you'll undergo a comprehensive assessment to understand the root cause of your back pain. This includes a detailed discussion about your medical history, lifestyle, and any specific incidents that may have contributed to your condition. Based on this assessment, our team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. The goal of this initial session is not only to start your journey toward relief but also to educate you about your condition and the proposed treatment strategy.
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
The duration before noticeable results can vary significantly from person to person, depending on the nature and severity of the back pain, as well as the individual's response to treatment. Generally, clients may begin to experience relief after a few sessions, but a complete recovery or significant improvement often requires a consistent treatment plan over several weeks or months.
Can Back Pain Be Prevented?
While not all forms of back pain can be entirely prevented, there are several strategies that can significantly reduce your risk. These include maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, practicing good posture, and using proper techniques when lifting heavy objects. Our team at Harbourview Therapy will provide you with personalized advice and exercises designed to strengthen your back and improve your overall spinal health, aiming to minimize the likelihood of future back pain episodes.
Can I Continue My Regular Activities While Undergoing Treatment?
We understand the importance of maintaining your daily routine and will work with you to ensure that your treatment plan accommodates your lifestyle as much as possible. However, certain activities may need to be modified or temporarily avoided to prevent aggravation of your back pain. Our therapists will provide you with specific recommendations based on your condition and recovery progress. They may also suggest alternative exercises or movements to keep you active without risking further injury.
