Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain, also known as lumbago, is a common musculoskeletal condition affecting as many as 40 percent of the population at some point in their lives. This discomfort directly targets the bones and muscles of the lower spine, with initial onset most frequently occurring between the ages of 20 and 40.
Duration and Severity
Spinal discomfort is generally categorized by how long the symptoms persist. Acute cases involve a fairly sudden onset of pain lasting less than 6 weeks, sub-chronic cases last between 6 and 12 weeks, and chronic conditions persist for at least 12 weeks or longer.
Quality of Life Disruptions
Persistent lower spine discomfort can severely interfere with your normal day-to-day activities. Left unmanaged, lumbago limits your natural physical movement and causes ongoing disruptions to your overall quality of life and physical confidence.
Tailored Care Strategies
To find lasting relief, cases of lower back discomfort must be carefully evaluated by the specific source or underlying cause of the pain. Dr. Baker develops advanced, personalized treatment strategies tailored to your unique anatomical needs to empower you to regain your active mobility.
I am new to seeing Dr. Baker but have found her to be extremely professional, extremely intelligent, and most of all, extremely caring. At our first appointment, she saw me immediately, was helpful in her comments, and followed up by phone promptly to discuss my results. I hope to be her patient for a long time and have told friends about her practice.

On my first visit, although we weren’t able to connect through telehealth, Dr. Baker called me herself and we had an initial lengthy phone conversation. Without even meeting her in person, I can already tell how attentive and compassionate she is!! Since meeting her in person she has continued to provide the same caring, compassionate care.
