Low Back, Hip & Pelvic Pain
Care in Gaithersburg
Focused Musculoskeletal Evaluation, Active Care & Practical Guidance
Lower-back, hip, and pelvic-region discomfort can interfere with sitting, standing, walking, lifting, driving, exercise, work, and sleep. Some people notice a sudden strain after lifting or yard work, while others develop stiffness or discomfort gradually after prolonged sitting, repetitive activity, pregnancy, or changes in exercise routines.
At Bones 4 Life Chiropractic, Dr. Keith Murray provides focused evaluations to understand your specific movement limitations and daily demands—helping you move toward better comfort and function without predetermined, high-pressure care packages.​
Common Concerns We Evaluate:
-
Low-back stiffness, dull aching, or sharp discomfort with bending, lifting, or prolonged sitting
-
Hip and buttock tightness affecting walking stride or standing tolerance
-
Sacroiliac (SI) joint sensitivity and localized pelvic discomfort
-
Muscle tightness and reduced movement tolerance during daily work or athletic activities
-
Difficulty sleeping, driving, or exercising comfortably due to lower-body strain
Low-back discomfort can have multiple contributors. Your evaluation reviews range of motion, muscle strength, joint mobility, daily physical demands, and relevant health history.
When conservative chiropractic care is appropriate, recommendations may include:
-
Gentle Chiropractic Joint Treatment: Manual, drop-table, or instrument-assisted adjustments selected for your comfort.
-
Soft-Tissue Techniques: Addressing localized muscle tension and sensitivity.
-
Active Rehabilitation: Custom mobility and strengthening exercises delivered via Physitrack to rebuild functional load tolerance.

Clinical Note on Imaging & Medical Referral:
Imaging (such as X-rays or MRI) is not needed for every back pain presentation. If your history or examination indicates the need for diagnostic imaging, medical evaluation, or specialist co-management, Dr. Murray will discuss that directly with you.
