Where is My Back Pain Coming From?
Understanding Back Pain
Back pain can stem from a variety of sources, including muscle strains, poor posture, injuries, and underlying medical conditions. In some cases, back pain may radiate into lower extremities, increasing discomfort and limiting mobility. Effective back pain treatment typically involves physical therapy, which can help to reduce pain, improve flexibility, and restore function. Through targeted exercises and manual therapy techniques, physical therapists can address the root causes of back pain, alleviating symptoms and helping patients return to their normal activities.

What We Treat
Assessment and Diagnosis
We conduct a thorough assessment to identify the specific causes of your back pain, considering factors such as posture, movement patterns, muscle strength, and joint mobility.
Pain Relief
Through various procedures such as heat or cold therapy, electrical stimulation, and manual therapy techniques, our physical therapists can help alleviate back pain and discomfort.
Exercise Programs
Tailored exercise programs are designed to address specific issues contributing to your back pain. These may include stretching exercises to improve flexibility, strengthening exercises for core and supporting muscles, and aerobic exercises to enhance overall fitness.
Manual Therapy
Hands-on techniques like joint mobilization and manipulation are employed to improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and alleviate pain in the back. Techniques such as soft tissue mobilization, massage, and trigger point therapy can be used to release tension in muscles and improve overall tissue health.
Posture Correction
Poor posture is a common contributor to back pain. We provide guidance on maintaining proper posture during daily activities and recommend exercises to correct postural imbalances.
Strength Training
Strengthening exercises focus on the core muscles and other supporting muscles to provide stability for the spine, reducing the risk of future episodes of back pain.
Flexibility Training
Stretching exercises help improve flexibility in tight muscles, reducing strain on the back, and promoting better movement patterns.
Education and Lifestyle Modification
We can educate patients about their back condition, offering insights into the causes of your pain and providing guidance on lifestyle modifications, ergonomics, and preventive measures.
Core Stabilization
Strengthening the core muscles, including the abdominal and back muscles, is a key focus. This improves spinal stability and helps in preventing recurrent episodes of back pain.
