Low back pain is one of the most common and debilitating health concerns, affecting millions of people across the U.S. This condition, whether caused by a degenerative condition, chronic strain, or an injury, makes everyday activities painful, athletic pursuits unthinkable, and is the leading cause of disability and missed days at work. The physical therapist at The Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Center has successfully treated many people of varying ages and fitness levels for back pain and injuries.
During an initial visit, our physical therapist will perform a comprehensive evaluation of each patient’s medical history, fitness level, and any other factors that may be part of what’s causing the discomfort. We work with the patient’s medical team, especially in pre- and post-surgical cases.
We provide a safe, effective approach to treating back pain - without the use of potentially harmful medication. Our team manages our patients’ discomfort through hands-on massage and other therapies including electric stimulation to reduce inflammation and increase blood flow.
Our work includes strengthening the core muscles that are essential for optimal spinal alignment, stability, and back support through personalized exercise programs. We incorporate a stretching routine to increase range of motion and improve flexibility in tight back muscles that may be contributing to the problem. We carefully monitor your progress and adjust each program accordingly.
Each patient learns the importance of proper posture and body mechanics to help them manage symptoms and to prevent the condition from returning. We also create a customized exercise program that each patient can perform independently in their own home or at the gym.
Our state-of-the-art facility, attentive staff, extensive experience, and unparalleled level of personal service have made The Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Center the gold standard in treating pain affecting the lower back. We understand how debilitating this condition can be. Physical therapy is a safe, effective, proven path to recovery and a pain-free life. Please contact us today to schedule an evaluation.
