Low Back Pain Chiropractor in Hingham, MA
YOUR BACK DOESN'T HAVE TO WIN
People come to us when low back pain keeps interrupting training, stiffening up after long days, or making them wonder if they'll ever lift heavy again. We find what's driving it, address it at the source, and build a plan that gets you back to full strength.
Low Back Pain That Gets Ignored Only Digs Deeper
Rest Doesn't Fix What's Actually Wrong
You ease off, the flare settles. You go back to deadlifts or a full day at a desk and it fires right back up. Low back pain that only responds to rest hasn't been solved — the underlying driver hasn't been identified or addressed.
Stretching and Mobility Work Only Go So Far
Hip flexor stretches, McKenzie extensions, foam rolling — there's a role for all of it. But none of it addresses joint mechanics, motor control deficits, or load tolerance issues. Without identifying the source, the problem cycles back on a schedule.
It Starts to Change the Way You Move
Low back pain changes behavior. You stop loading the way you used to, you compensate around it, and other areas start picking up the slack. The longer those patterns go uncorrected, the longer the full recovery takes.
Low Back Care Built for People Who Don't Do Well with "Take It Easy"
At Surf to Summit, low back care isn't just about getting you out of pain. Manual therapy, spinal manipulation, targeted exercise, and a clear loading progression are built into every visit so the results hold when you return to full training.
What Brings People In for Low Back Care
People come to us with a wide range of low back issues. Here's what we see most often.
Low Back Pain and Stiffness - Persistent aching, tightness, or restricted mobility in the lumbar spine that limits training, daily activity, or extended time sitting or standing.
Sciatica and Nerve-Related Symptoms - Sharp, shooting, or radiating pain into the glute, hamstring, or lower leg originating from nerve irritation or compression in the lumbar spine.
Disc-Related Back Pain - Deep, centralized low back pain — sometimes with referred leg symptoms — associated with disc involvement that has not resolved with rest or general exercise.
SI Joint Pain - One-sided low back or glute pain near the sacroiliac joint that worsens with transitional movements, prolonged sitting, or single-leg loading during training.
Hip and Glute-Driven Back Pain - Low back symptoms driven by hip mobility restrictions, glute inhibition, or faulty movement patterns — common in lifters and runners who train through tightness.
Lifting and Training-Related Back Pain - Low back pain that flares with deadlifts, squats, or high-rep conditioning work — often tied to load tolerance issues, not structural damage.
Posture and Desk-Related Back Pain - Chronic lumbar aching or stiffness linked to prolonged sitting, poor workstation setup, or extended screen time — especially in active adults who train hard but sit most of the day.

In most cases, yes. We work around your training rather than shutting it down. Load and volume may be modified in specific areas during care, and we'll give you clear guidance on what to keep doing versus what to adjust while your back is improving.
