Low Back Pain

 

A physical therapy evaluation for back pain includes a subjective history of the type of injury, symptoms and prior level of function. We may also ask questions about your sleeping posture and behavior of the symptoms during ADLs (activities of daily living) and other activities. An objective assessment follows, which includes an examination of your posture, gait, active range of motion of the spine, strength, reflexes and muscle flexibility.

A treatment plan will involve

  • the use of modalities to reduce pain (ice packs, heat, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) or ultrasound)

  • Positioning for relief of pain.

  • Mobilization to improve mobility of specific joints.

  • Training in posture, body mechanics, strengthening and conditioning.

It is important that each injury be assessed by a physical therapist as back pain is not a matter to be ignored. Our goal is to provide symptom relief, restore joint and soft tissue mobility and help you make a successful return to your activities.
