How can physical therapy help with your low back pain?
-Your pain might be dull, burning, or sharp. You might feel it at a single point or over a broad area. It might be accompanied by muscle spasms or stiffness. Sometimes, it might spread into 1 or both legs.
-Your physical therapist can help you improve or restore mobility and reduce low back pain—in many cases, without expensive surgery or the side effects of medications.
-As experts in restoring and improving mobility and movement in people’s lives, physical therapists play an important role not only in treating persistent or recurrent low back pain, but also in preventing it and reducing your risk of having it come back.
-Physical therapists can teach you how to use the following strategies to prevent back pain: use good body positioning at work, home, or during leisure activities, keep the load close to your body during lifting, ask for help before lifting heavy objects, and maintain a regular physical fitness regimen because staying active can help to prevent injuries.
***Contact your physician to refer you to physical therapy for a full evaluation as soon as symptoms begin for immediate attention and a quicker recovery!***
