Back Pain
Physical therapy treatment addresses back pain by assessing the
muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, bones, and joints in that
region of the body. Low back pain may also accompany mid back/rib
dysfunction, hip, sacral/buttock, and leg pain. Low back pain is
extremely common. Common causes of back pain include sprains and
strains due to excessive stress to the back, herniated discs, which
can protrude and cause pain down your leg, and fractured vertebrae,
which can be due to osteoporosis. The lower back is a complex area
connecting the upper body and lower body and provides the body with
power and mobility, allowing turning, twisting, and bending. If
back pain is chronic
or reoccurring, you should seek a physical therapist
to relieve your pain and to address muscle imbalances
to manage your complaint.

time to start
physical therapy?

Your Right to Choose
The decision of where you go to receive treatment is
yours. If you have a specific therapist or practice you
would like to go to, you should let your doctor or
insurance company know this. Not all physical
therapists or practices are the same and the choice
of your provider is yours.
