If you are experiencing low back pain, you are not alone. At any given time, one in four people in the United States reports having low back pain. In fact, Americans spend an estimated $80 – $100 billion each year in hopes of easing their aching backs. But, the evidence is showing that many pricey treatments are often ineffective and can worsen or prolong the issue.  A recent study published in the journal Health Services Research suggests utilizing physical therapy first may be a more effective solution, both from a treatment perspective and on the pocketbook.

Our physical therapists will design a treatment program that:

  • Relieves pain or decreases your current pain level.
  • Improves function and structural impairments in your spine and pelvis.
  • Returns you to the activities you love as quickly as possible.
  • Educates you on a maintenance program to prevent future back problems.
