Back Program
Back Program: Nothing is worse than a painful back. You look normal, but you’re not. No one can see your injury, so they don’t understand what you are going through. Maybe the worst part is your own fear. You don’t understand what is happening to you and you worry about doing anything about it for fear of making things worse. Your medical doctor prescribes medication but that just covers symptoms; it doesn’t “cure” you.
Your therapist is an expert at examining and treating back pain. Physical therapy works, the research is clear on that point. There are numerous conditions that can be causing your pain. Our back pain program will be tailored to your specific problem and will include the following:
