If you have experienced low back pain, you are not alone and we can help you. Approximately one quarter of Americans report experiencing low back pain within the past 3 months at any given time. Low back pain often occurs due to overuse, strain or injury. This includes too much bending, twisting, lifting, and even too much sitting. Are you spending a lot of time driving or sitting behind a computer? This could be a contributing factor if you are experiencing back pain.

How a Physical Therapist Can Help You?

Not all low back pain is the same and your treatment should be tailored to suit your specific condition. You should expect the following from us:

Individualized assessment: Everyone is unique. We will ask you a number of questions about your specific condition and will thoroughly examine you for problems with posture, flexibility, strength, joint mobility, and movement. Attention will be given to how you use your body at work, home, during sports, and at leisure.

Individualized treatment plan: Once your assessment is complete we will develop a plan designed for your specific type of back problem. This may consist of:

• Treatment to decrease pain and restore mobility
• Manual therapy techniques, including spinal manipulation, to improve mobility of joints and soft tissues.
• Specific strengthening and/or flexibility exercises
• Education about care of your back and training for proper lifting, bending, sitting, sleeping, and doing chores both at work and in the home
