Back pain is a wide-ranging problem with a multitude of potential causes, the most common of which are injury, muscle strain, and lifestyle factors. It can profoundly affect your day-to-day life by limiting your mobility, interrupting your sleep, and preventing you from participating in sports and other activities.
The exact experience of lower back pain can vary, ranging from a dull ache to severe pain. Depending on the reason for your back pain, you might notice muscle tension, spasms, and/or stiffness along with the pain.
The physical therapists at Miss-Lou Physical Therapy take a results-oriented approach to back pain. We don’t want to simply alleviate your symptoms; we want to treat your lower back pain at the source so you can live an active, pain-free life. To accomplish this goal, we’ll pull from a variety of research-backed treatment techniques, including the following:
- Therapeutic exercises, such as targeted stretches and strengthening, to get you moving
- Manual therapy, such as therapeutic massage or joint mobilizations, to alleviate muscle tension and improve range of motion
- Education about proper posture and body mechanics to reduce unnecessary stress on your spinal joints
- Pain management modalities, such as cryotherapy or electrical stimulation, to help you tolerate other treatments
We know how disruptive lower back pain can be to your overall quality of life. If you’re eager to get moving again, our evidence-based approach to physical and occupational therapy is here to help.
