Physical Therapy for Low Back Pain
Understanding Low Back Pain
Low back pain is a common issue that affects millions of people worldwide. It can be caused by a variety of conditions, including muscle strains, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis. At Capstone Physical Therapy & Fitness, our team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care to help you manage and alleviate your low back pain.
Our Approach to Treating Low Back Pain
Our physical therapy program for low back pain is designed to address the root cause of your discomfort. We utilize a combination of techniques to reduce pain, improve mobility, and strengthen your core muscles, ensuring a holistic approach to your recovery.
Initial Assessment
We begin with a thorough assessment to understand the specific cause of your low back pain. This involves a detailed medical history, physical examination, and sometimes imaging studies to get a complete picture of your condition.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on the assessment, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. This plan may include a variety of therapeutic interventions such as:
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to manipulate and mobilize the spine and surrounding muscles to relieve pain and improve function.
- Therapeutic Exercises: Specific exercises aimed at strengthening the core muscles, improving flexibility, and enhancing overall stability of the spine.
- Posture and Body Mechanics Training: Education on proper posture and body mechanics to prevent strain on the lower back during daily activities.
Ongoing Support and Progress Monitoring
We provide continuous support and regularly monitor your progress throughout your treatment journey. Adjustments to your treatment plan are made as needed to ensure optimal recovery and long-term relief from low back pain.
Conditions We Treat
Our team is skilled in treating low back pain caused by various conditions, including:
Muscle Strains
Overuse or sudden movements can cause muscles in the lower back to stretch or tear, leading to pain and stiffness.
Herniated Discs
When the soft tissue inside a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior, it can press on nerves and cause significant pain.
Spinal Stenosis
The narrowing of the spinal canal can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, resulting in pain and discomfort.
Benefits of Physical Therapy for Low Back Pain
Engaging in a structured physical therapy program can provide numerous benefits for individuals suffering from low back pain, such as:
Pain Reduction
Through targeted exercises and manual therapy, we aim to alleviate your pain and discomfort.
Improved Mobility
Restoring flexibility and range of motion in the lower back helps you move more freely and comfortably.
Core Strengthening
Strong core muscles support the spine and reduce the likelihood of future episodes of low back pain.
Education and Prevention
Learning proper techniques for lifting, bending, and other movements helps prevent further injury and maintain a healthy back.
