Why Try Physical Therapy

Physical Therapists are trained in how your back muscles and spinal joints are supposed to work for you. They will provide treatments that will include passive physical therapy (i.e. modalities) and active physical therapy (back exercises for stretching, strengthening, flexibility, and conditioning). A physical therapist can help decrease back pain, increase function, and educate you on how to maintain progress to prevent further re-injuries.
