Low Back Pain
Joe Grant, PT, ATC, EdM
Chronic low back pain is a major problem in the USA. Jobs in our modern society are not as physically demanding as they used to be. As a result, our backs are weaker and less flexible and as time goes by, movement becomes painful and difficult. According to the British Journal of Medicine, people who participated in an exercise program for low back pain, supervised by a physical therapist, reported less pain and disability than those who had pharmaceutical therapy. Furthermore, the patients in a supervised exercise group continued to progress over the following year.
At Back To Action, each person is evaluated, and an individual program is developed. This program is designed to restore normal motion and strength and then help maintain the progress that they have made.
Call us at Back To Action Physical Therapy if you have any questions, or ask your physician to refer you for physical therapy.
