Physical Therapy

If back pain persists for more than a couple of weeks, it’s time to consider some measure of physical therapy. The goal of back pain therapy is to reduce the level of pain, increase function and mobility, and provide education designed to prevent future occurrences.

Back pain therapy may be done through the use of heat/ice packs, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) units, Iontophoresis, and ultrasound, as well as more active procedures such as stretching, strengthening, and low impact aerobic conditioning. It usually takes about two weeks to determine a patient’s progress, and hopefully be able to predict the duration of the treatment.

Of course every patient is different, and the duration will largely depend on the individual, the severity of the injury, and how willing they are to work hard towards resolving it. The physicians at The Back Institute are ready to assist you with your back pain therapy and rehabilitation needs.
