Our Approach to Back Pain

1. Comprehensive Assessment: We start with a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of your back pain. This may include a physical examination, imaging tests such as X-rays or MRI scans, and a detailed review of your medical history.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on our assessment, we develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan may incorporate a combination of therapies aimed at reducing pain, improving function, and preventing future issues.

3. Physical Therapy: Physical therapy is central to our treatment strategy. Our skilled therapists use targeted exercises and techniques to strengthen the muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance the stability of your back. This approach not only alleviates pain but also promotes long-term recovery and injury prevention.

4. Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques such as joint mobilization, massage, and soft tissue manipulation help reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote healing in the affected area.

5. Modalities: We utilize various modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and heat or cold therapy to reduce inflammation and pain, accelerate healing, and improve overall function.

6. Ergonomics and Posture Training: Proper ergonomics and posture are crucial for preventing and managing back pain. We provide education and training on maintaining good posture and making ergonomic adjustments at work and home.

7. Education and Self-Care: We empower our patients with the knowledge and tools they need to manage their condition and prevent future injuries. Our team will provide you with education on proper body mechanics, home exercises, and self-care strategies.

8. Follow-Up and Adjustments: Your recovery is our priority, and we closely monitor your progress throughout your treatment. We make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan to ensure optimal results and address any new or ongoing concerns.
