LOWER BACK INJURIES
Pain from lower back injuries is a very common reason for seeking a Physical Therapist. It’s often caused by overuse but can also develop quickly from a sudden movement or during an activity. Alternatively, the pain may have persisted for several weeks, leading a Doctor to recommend Physical Therapy. Numerous factors can contribute to low back pain, including recent injuries, sciatica, muscle spasms, a herniated disc, stenosis, and arthritis. Physical Therapy for low back pain may help avoid surgery, but if surgery is necessary, you may come to us for rehabilitation following a discectomy or fusion. Regardless of the cause of your pain, don’t wait until it becomes unbearable. Contact Feldman Physical Therapy and Performance as soon as possible to seek back pain relief! A comprehensive evaluation by our Doctors of Physical Therapy can determine if additional tests are necessary and initiate the best plan for your recovery.
Treatments for low back pain typically include stretching and exercises.
While you may be tempted to stay put on the couch and rest, movement is actually better!
Lack of movement can lead to tight, painful muscles. So, you will find that low back exercises are done in the office and prescribed to do at home, too.
Physical Therapy helps to reduce pain, improve strength, and restore mobility. Not all back pain is the same. It ranges from dull aches to sharp pains. From a large area to a specific spot. No matter how common the injury, yours is unique to you. That’s why it’s important to have treatment specific to you.
At Feldman Physical Therapy and Performance, you will experience one on one treatment with a Doctor of Physical Therapy to create a personalized plan that gets you meeting and even exceeding your goals with fewer visits. It’s our goal to make you even better than you were before your injury!
