Nicali Sports Medicine

What are back mice? They are small, tender masses of fat, which break through the weak areas of the connective tissue in the lower back, sometimes confused with muscle knots. The nodules may shift slightly underneath the skin and make it painful to bend or press on them. Patients suffering from back mice can receive relief at Nicali Sports Medicine and Associates in Pasadena with targeted deep tissue massage combined with chiropractic care and decompression therapy that relieves surrounding tension and discomfort. Nodules do not resolve on their own, but many patients are able to find relief from their symptoms without surgery.
