Low Back Pain Treatment in San Francisco
Low back pain can make it difficult to sit, stand, walk, sleep, exercise, or work comfortably. At Lock Chiropractic in San Francisco, we help patients with low back pain, sciatica, muscle tightness, joint stiffness, posture-related discomfort, disc-related irritation, and sports-related back pain.
Our goal is to evaluate what may be contributing to your symptoms and create a treatment plan focused on improving movement, reducing irritation, and helping you return to your normal daily activities.
Common Low Back Pain Symptoms We See
Low back pain can feel different from person to person. Some patients feel a dull ache, while others experience sharp pain, tightness, stiffness, or symptoms that travel into the hip or leg.
Common symptoms include:
-
Low back stiffness after sitting or sleeping
-
Pain with bending, lifting, twisting, or standing
-
Muscle tightness or spasm
-
Pain into the hip, glute, thigh, or leg
-
Sciatica-like symptoms
-
Pain after work, exercise, running, golf, or sports
-
A feeling that the back is “locked up” or not moving properly
If low back pain is affecting your work, sleep, exercise, or daily routine, chiropractic care may help improve mobility and reduce irritation.
What Can Cause Low Back Pain?
Low back pain may come from the joints, muscles, discs, ligaments, nerves, hips, pelvis, or a combination of these areas.
Common causes include muscle strain, joint restriction, prolonged sitting, poor posture, disc irritation, sciatica, repetitive stress, sports injuries, hip mobility issues, arthritis, or poor core stability.
A chiropractic exam can help determine whether your symptoms are likely coming from the low back, pelvis, hips, surrounding muscles, or irritated nerves.

For patients looking for a low back pain chiropractor in San Francisco, our care focuses on more than temporary relief. We also look at how your spine, hips, muscles, posture, and movement patterns may be contributing to the problem.
Our goal is not only to reduce pain, but also to improve function, mobility, and long-term spinal health.
Low Back Pain, Sciatica, Work, and Sports
Low back pain is common in people who sit for long periods, drive often, lift at work, or perform repetitive movements. It is also common in active adults and athletes who run, golf, lift weights, play basketball, train martial arts, or participate in recreational sports.
Low back irritation can also cause pain, numbness, tingling, or tightness that travels into the hip, glute, thigh, calf, or foot. This is often described as sciatica or radiating leg pain.
Depending on your condition, treatment may focus on improving spinal mobility, hip mobility, muscle balance, core strength, posture, and movement mechanics.
