Low back pain isn’t always coming from your spine.

In many cases, it’s caused by a femoral nerve entrapment along the psoas. When this deep hip flexor becomes glued down with adhesion, it compresses the nerve—creating low back pain, hip pain, stiffness, and even symptoms into the thigh.

That’s why stretching, core work, chiropractic, injections, and massage often give only short-term relief. They don’t remove adhesion.

Adhesion is a glue-like substance that binds muscles and nerves together, preventing normal glide and constantly irritating the nervous system. Until it’s cleared, the pain keeps coming back.

At Peak Action Physical Therapy, we specialize in finding and removing femoral nerve entrapments to address the root cause of chronic low back pain—not just the symptoms.

Low back pain that’s lasted for years usually isn’t “just your back” — it’s a mobility problem at the joint level 👇

In many chronic cases, adhesion builds up inside the lumbar joint capsules, preventing the joints of the spine from gliding the way they’re designed to. When these capsules get restricted, it creates constant stiffness, deep aching pain, sharp catching sensations, and ongoing irritation of nearby nerves. The spine compensates, overloads surrounding tissues, and the pain never truly goes away.

This is why stretching, chiropractic adjustments, massage, injections, and even traditional physical therapy often only give temporary relief. None of those approaches remove the adhesion that’s physically limiting the joint capsule and altering spinal mechanics.

At Peak Action Physical Therapy in Tucson, Arizona, we specialize in finding and removing these adhesions at the root cause. By restoring normal lumbar joint motion and reducing nerve irritation, we help patients finally break the cycle of chronic low back pain.

Sciatic pain that just won’t quit? 👀 It might be trapped at the piriformis.

Most people are told their sciatic pain is coming from a disc — but very often the sciatic nerve gets compressed or glued down at the piriformis muscle 🍑⚡️
When this nerve can’t glide properly, it can cause deep butt pain, hip pain, and symptoms shooting down the leg like burning, numbness, or tingling 😣⬇️

That’s why stretching, massage, chiropractic care, and foam rolling usually only help for a short time ⏳
They don’t remove the adhesion trapping the nerve.

At Peak Action Physical Therapy in Tucson, Arizona, we focus on finding and fixing the root cause by freeing the sciatic nerve so it can move normally again 🧠🦵

Hip pain that never fully goes away? This muscle is often the reason.

When the adductor magnus becomes glued down by adhesion, it can pull on the pelvis and femur, limit normal hip motion, and create deep hip, groin, or inner-thigh pain that lingers for years. Because this muscle plays a major role in hip stability and movement, even a small adhesion can disrupt how the entire hip functions.

Stretching, massage, chiropractic care, and injections often provide only temporary relief because they don’t address the root cause — adhesion restricting normal tissue movement. Adhesion acts like a glue, preventing muscles from sliding and contracting properly, which keeps pain patterns active.

At Peak Action Physical Therapy in Tucson, Arizona, we specialize in identifying and removing these adhesions to restore proper movement and finally resolve chronic hip pain.

❌ Stretching hasn’t fixed your low back pain?
This might be why.

👉 Superior cluneal nerve entrapment is a huge and often missed cause of chronic low back pain.

This nerve gets compressed right where it crosses the iliac crest, sending sharp, burning, or nagging pain across the low back and upper glute — and no amount of stretching or core work will free it if it’s stuck.

At Peak Action Physical Therapy, we focus on:
• Finding the actual nerve restriction
• Releasing adhesions around the cluneal nerve
• Restoring normal glide and sensitivity
• Getting people out of pain without endless guessing

If you’ve had low back pain for months or years and nothing has worked… this is something that needs to be checked.

Chronic low back pain that never fully goes away?
It’s not always the disc.

Adhesions in the lumbar joint capsules can lock up spinal motion, irritate surrounding nerves, and create deep, stubborn low back pain that stretching, injections, and core exercises don’t fix.

By restoring glide to the joint capsules and freeing the restricted tissue, we can calm the spine down and help the low back move pain-free again.

Low back pain that won’t go away?
It’s often coming from a femoral nerve entrapment glued down to the psoas — not a weak core or tight hamstrings.

When the nerve gets stuck in dense, scar-like tissue around the psoas, every movement irritates it. Stretching and strengthening won’t fix a nerve that can’t glide.

How we fix it 👇
• Freeing the nerve from adhesions
• Restoring normal nerve glide
• Reducing constant tension on the low back

That’s exactly what we do at Peak Action Physical Therapy in Tucson, Arizona.

If your low back pain has lingered for months and nothing has worked, this could be the missing piece.

Fixing tight traps from a spinal accessory nerve entrapment

If your traps feel constantly tight, elevated, or burning, it’s not just “stress” or poor posture.
A very common and overlooked cause is entrapment of the spinal accessory nerve, which directly innervates the upper trapezius.

When this nerve gets compressed, you’ll often notice:
• Chronic trap tightness that never releases
• Neck stiffness and shoulder elevation
• Pain with head movement or arm lifting
• Temporary relief from stretching or massage

We focus on freeing the nerve, restoring tissue glide, and normalizing muscle tone—so the traps can finally relax instead of staying locked on all day.

Hip pain on the outside of your thigh? This is usually why.

If your hip pain feels burning, sharp, numb, or tingly along the outer thigh, it’s often caused by LFCN (lateral femoral cutaneous nerve) entrapment under the inguinal ligament — not a muscle or the hip joint itself ⚠️

When the LFCN gets compressed under the inguinal ligament, adhesions restrict the nerve’s ability to glide. This leads to persistent hip and thigh pain that stretching, strengthening, or rest won’t resolve.

At Peak Action Physical Therapy in Tucson, Arizona, treatment focuses on freeing the nerve by removing the adhesion causing the entrapment, allowing normal movement and reducing pain at the source.

Normal imaging but ongoing hip pain? This is often what’s being missed 🎯

Fixing LFCN nerve entrapment under the inguinal ligament causing years of hip pain

If you’ve had burning, sharp, or numb pain on the front or side of your hip or thigh, stretching will NOT fix it.

This pain often comes from lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) entrapment, where the nerve gets compressed under the inguinal ligament by adhesions and dense connective tissue.

When a nerve is trapped:
• Stretching pulls on the irritated nerve
• Strengthening doesn’t free it
• Rest doesn’t remove the compression
• Pain keeps coming back for years

Nerve entrapments don’t resolve with exercises.
They resolve when the adhesions physically trapping the nerve are removed, restoring normal tissue glide and taking pressure off the nerve.

Once the nerve is decompressed:
• Burning and tingling calm down
• Hip tension drops
• Walking and standing feel normal again
• Relief actually lasts
