Why Get Physical Therapy for Lower Back Pain?
Low back pain can significantly disrupt daily activities, from simple tasks like bending and walking to more strenuous movements. Physical therapy is one of the most effective, research-backed treatment options for managing and overcoming lower back pain. By addressing the root causes, including muscle imbalances, postural issues, and movement dysfunctions, physical therapy helps patients achieve not only pain relief but also improved strength and flexibility. Compared to medication or surgery, physical therapy offers a safe, conservative, and proactive approach to back pain relief, empowering patients to take an active role in their recovery.

Our Methods For Lower Back Pain Treatment
Exercise: Targeted exercises are used to build strength, flexibility, and endurance in the lower back, core, and hips. These customized programs help correct imbalances, improve posture, and enhance stability to support long-term back health.
Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques, including soft tissue massage, joint mobilization, and gentle spinal manipulation, are used to reduce muscle tension, improve spinal alignment, and restore natural movement.
Modalities: To support healing and relieve pain, we may use treatments such as heat therapy, ice therapy, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation. These techniques help manage inflammation, reduce muscle spasms, and promote circulation.
Patient Education: Education is a key component of treatment. We help patients understand proper posture, safe body mechanics, and ergonomic strategies to protect the spine and prevent future episodes of back pain.
What to Expect During Physical Therapy for Lower Back Pain
During your initial visit, your physical therapist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to assess your pain level, mobility, posture, and functional limitations. This may include reviewing your medical history and performing specific movement tests to pinpoint the source of your lower back pain.
Based on your evaluation, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that outlines the exercises, manual techniques, and supportive therapies best suited to your condition. Your therapist will continually monitor your progress, adjusting the plan as needed to ensure optimal results. Sessions typically involve a combination of hands-on care, guided exercises, and education, all designed to help you build strength, reduce pain, and regain comfortable movement.
