If you’re struggling with low back pain, you’re not alone. At any given time, about 25% of people in the United States report having had low back pain within the past three months. While low back pain is often mild and resolves on its own, for some, it can linger or return, impacting quality of life and even leading to disability.
That’s where we come in! Our physical therapists specialize in helping individuals with low back pain reduce discomfort, restore mobility, and regain control of their lives.
The Case for Physical Therapy
A recent study revealed that physical therapy outperforms standard primary care treatments for acute low back pain—not only in outcomes but also in cost-effectiveness. The study calculated that choosing physical therapy early saves an average of $4,160 when factoring in hidden costs like time off work, pain-related setbacks, missed life events, and the dollars spent on ineffective treatments.
Benefits of Physical Therapy for Low Back Pain
Opting for physical therapy early has multiple benefits over usual care, including:
- Reducing reliance on opioids: Avoid the risks associated with prescription painkillers.
- Strengthening your body: Regain strength and return to your normal activities faster.
- Gaining valuable education: Learn how to care for your back and prevent future issues.
- Preventing recurrences: Understand the root causes of your pain and avoid relapses.
