Why Does Hip Pain Happen?
Many people are told their pain is due to a disc bulge, degenerative disc disease, or facet arthritis based on an MRI. But in reality, those findings are often incidental—not the true source of pain.
Most chronic neck and lower back pain comes from ligament laxity and superficial nerve entrapment, which create mechanical instability, irritate the surrounding nerves, and lead to persistent muscle spasm. The visible joint inflammation or disc wear is usually a byproduct, not the root cause.
That’s why many people who receive cortisone injections, epidurals, facet blocks, or even radiofrequency ablation may get short-term relief or none at all. The problem wasn’t being treated.
At Peak Health VIP, our methods for treating neck and back pain in Oakville take a different approach. We focus on:
- Restoring ligament integrity.
- Releasing nerve entrapments.
- Treating related tendonitis.
- Correcting movement imbalances.
We specialize in non-surgical, non-opioid, root-cause-driven care for clients who’ve been told their MRI is “normal,” or that nothing else can be done.
We do not treat true disc herniations with neurogenic pain, as those may require surgical consultation. But for the majority of “non-surgical” cases still in pain, we offer what the system does not.
Conditions We Treat at Our Oakville Back Pain and Neck Pain Clinic
Achieve lasting neck and back pain relief and peak performance with evidence-based regenerative treatments, delivered with personalized, high-level care.
Neck Pain (Ligament Instability)
Chronic neck pain and stiffness often stem from overstretched ligaments and irritated superficial nerves, not just disc or facet degeneration. Clients may experience tension, headaches, limited motion, or sharp flares with posture or movement. We treat the ligament instability with regenerative therapies, restore deep neck stabilizers, and relieve nerve entrapment that keeps the pain cycle going.
Neck Osteoarthritis
Chronic neck pain and reduced mobility caused by cartilage wear and joint degeneration in the cervical spine, often developing after years of poor posture, stress, or untreated neck injuries. May lead to stiffness, nerve compression, or headaches. We treat neck osteoarthritis by restoring joint mobility, reducing inflammation, and reinforcing spinal stability with regenerative therapies and targeted movement retraining.
Cervical Facet or Disc Pain (Misdiagnosed)
MRI findings of “disc bulge” or “facet arthritis” are common, but rarely explain ongoing pain. The real culprit is often cervical ligament laxity, which destabilizes the joints and causes chronic nerve irritation. Rather than injecting cortisone or using nerve ablation, we address the weakened support structures and release soft-tissue entrapments that are rarely imaged but deeply felt.
Back Sprain
Sharp or aching pain in the lower back from overstretching or microtears in the supporting muscles or ligaments, commonly caused by lifting, twisting, or poor movement mechanics during exercise or daily tasks. We treat back sprains with manual therapy, movement correction, and regenerative techniques to speed healing, restore strength, and prevent future injury.
Lower Back Pain (Ligament Instability)
Most chronic lower back pain is not from a slipped disc or arthritis, it’s from lumbar ligament laxity and nerve entrapment that occurred years before the imaging ever changed. The result is back instability, and compensatory spasms. We treat this at the source with regenerative therapy to stabilize the spine ligaments, relieve the entrapped nerves, and restore movement control.
Lower Back Osteoarthritis
What’s often labeled as “early arthritis” or “degenerative disc disease” is frequently a secondary consequence of years of ligament instability and dysfunctional loading. That’s why so many people with “mild imaging” have severe pain, and those with “advanced imaging” have none. To provide relief, we focus on function over imaging, restoring true spinal support and addressing the hidden drivers of inflammation, tension, and pain.
Advanced Modalities We Use To Treat Neck and Back Pain Injuries
For neck and back pain that’s keeping you from sports, hobbies, or daily work, our treatments focus on regeneration to help you get back to what you enjoy.
Shockwave Therapy
Clinically shown to reduce chronic tendon pain, shockwave therapy is used first at Peak Health VIP to break down scar tissue and prime the area for regenerative treatment.
Nerve Entrapment Release (PIT)
Peak Health VIP relieves nerve pain, tingling, or weakness post-injury by releasing compressed nerves for faster recovery.
Prolotherapy
Strengthens loose or damaged ligaments, especially after sprains. Peak Health VIP combines it with shockwave for stronger joint stability and faster healing.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Our PRP delivers 15–18 billion platelets per treatment, over triple the volume of standard kits for joint pain, tendon tears, cartilage, and meniscus injuries.
Ultrasound
Peak Health VIP uses dynamic ultrasound imaging to stress-test ligaments and tendons during movement, not just static scans like most clinics rely on.
Supplementation
Targeted supplements support recovery, inflammation control, and tissue repair, personalized based on your lab results and injury type for optimal outcomes.

Top FAQs – Neck and Back Pain
Why does my neck or back pain persist even if my MRI shows only a small disc bulge or slight arthritis?
Because those are often incidental findings. The real pain driver is usually ligament instability and superficial nerve irritation, which cause muscle spasms and persistent discomfort, even when imaging seems “normal.”
Can faulty ligaments really cause ongoing pain and stiffness?
Yes. When spinal ligaments stretch or weaken, even slightly, they destabilize the spine. This triggers reflexive muscle tightening and nerve irritation, leading to chronic symptoms even without structural damage. This is a common but overlooked source of middle and low back pain, especially when imaging doesn’t reveal major disc or joint damage.
Many specialists suggested cortisone or facet injections, why don’t they always work?
Those treatments target inflammation, not the instability. Unless the root cause, ligament weakness, and nerve entrapment is addressed, relief is short-lived. At Peak Health VIP, we use regenerative injections to restore stability and mobility.
Why do I still have pain after spinal fusion surgery?
Because fusion only stabilizes one level but the ligaments above or below may still be weak and unstable. This creates new stress, continued pain, and sometimes superficial nerve entrapment that we can treat directly to break the cycle.
How do you diagnose nerve entrapment or ligament tears if the MRI looks fine?
We use dynamic physical exams and diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound to identify ligament laxity and nerve compression that static imaging often misses. This enables precise, targeted treatment. This is especially helpful in cases of lower or upper back pain, where symptoms may persist despite clean scans, due to soft-tissue dysfunction that’s hard to detect on MRI.
After years of desk work or lifting, I’ve been told I have facet arthritis. Does that mean I need surgery?
Not necessarily. Facet changes are often secondary to instability. By stabilizing ligaments and freeing nerve entrapment, many clients avoid pain and regain mobility without invasive procedures.
I keep feeling back spasms but was told nothing serious was found, what’s going on?
These spasms are likely protective responses to nerve irritation caused by weak ligaments. As your body braces itself, muscles tighten and without targeted ligament repair and release, spasms keep recurring. In cases of middle back pain, this is especially common, as the area compensates for instability elsewhere in the spine. Without addressing the root cause, spasms will continue to recur.
How quickly can I expect relief with your ligament-focused treatment?
Many clients report significant symptom reduction within 2–6 weeks, as we rebuild ligament strength, release nerve entrapment, and integrate balanced movement. This goes far beyond what cortisone or nerve blocks alone can achieve.
What happens if I actually have a true disc herniation causing leg pain?
If you have symptoms like radiating pain to the arm or the leg with weakness or numbness, it might be coming from a herniated disc. In this case, a surgical evaluation is recommended. We can’t treat those conditions.
Will strengthening my core and posture exercises fix this?
They can help, but often fall short if the root cause is ligament instability or nerve entrapment. While exercises for lower back pain and stretches for lower back pain may provide some relief, they don’t correct the structural dysfunction that’s causing your muscles to work overtime and perpetuating pain. At Peak Health VIP, we combine rehab with regenerative ligament therapy and release techniques to resolve the root issue.
What makes your method different from pain or spine clinics?
Most methods relieve symptoms temporarily. We go deeper repairing ligaments, freeing trapped nerves, fixing tendon or muscle tension, and re-teaching functional movement. That’s why our clients experience fewer recurrences.
