Back Pain
Back pain is a complex issue that affects millions of people each year. It can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain that may shoot down the leg. From lower back pain caused by muscle stiffness and spasms to herniated disks, physical therapy is an essential first-line therapy to help you regain motion and strength to alleviate the pain. While our physical therapists will treat your back pain, they will also identify the cause of your discomfort and provide you with solutions to prevent the condition in the future.
Conditions
Herniated or ruptured disc
When a disc compresses and irritates nearby nerves – often at the lumbar level but can be present in the cervical spine as well.
Lower back pain + muscle strain
Springs or strains are injuries to a muscle, tendon, and/or ligaments that support the spine (which connect the different bones together), often causing injury when twisting or lifting improperly
Sciatica
When the flexible tissue that surrounds the shoulder joint, known as the capsule, becomes inflamed and thickened – this is also known as Adhesive capsulitis. Pain and persistent stiffness in the shoulder joint are the two prominent symptoms of a frozen shoulder..
Spondylosis
When a vertebra in the spine slips out of place or gradually moves out of alignment.
Spinal stenosis
This is a narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
