Why Physical Therapy Can Help Low Back Pain
At one point or another you may have experienced some nagging discomfort in your low back. Well, you’re not alone. It is estimated that 80% of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives.
Although at times low back pain can resolve on its own other times it can become a more chronic condition leading individuals to use opioids or pursue surgery.
Whereas opioids might have a short-term relief and surgery can carry a higher risk, physical therapy can be an effective conservative management with good results.
A study examined the outcomes between a group of individuals who chose to undergo a lumbar fusion for their back pain and a group who elected a non-surgical approach (physical therapy). When they compared their improvement in their functional ability and pain levels, the surgical group was not superior to the non-surgical group. Both groups demonstrated similar results.
Through a thorough assessment, our physical therapists at McNerney and Associates can identify the proper exercises indicated for your low back pain, manual therapy, identify movements that might be exacerbating your symptoms, and provide you with a home exercise program that will maintain the progress you will accomplish in therapy. We offer one-on-one care to ensure you get the best quality of treatment in order to improve your quality of life.
