How Can Someone With Back Pain Benefit From Physical Therapy?

Are you relentlessly pursuing relief from back pain? Are you tired of remedies that promise a lot but deliver a little? Your quest for comfort ends here!

People with back pain are often trapped in a cycle of discomfort, restricted movement, and anxiety about their condition. However, hope is not lost. Physical therapy at Therapy Fit Physical Therapy in Frisco, TX offers a powerful pathway to alleviate this suffering, restoring mobility and quality of life.

Back pain is a pervasive problem, impacting millions of lives daily. It’s estimated that approximately 80% of the population will experience back pain at some point in their lives. Furthermore, low back pain is the most common cause of job-related disability.

Although back pain affects individuals across all age spectrums, it is most common among adults aged 35 to 55 years. The intensity of pain can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp sensation that leaves the person incapacitated. While most cases of back pain are acute, lasting for a few days to weeks, some individuals may experience chronic back pain, which persists for 12 weeks or longer, even after an initial injury or underlying cause of acute low back pain has been treated.

How Physical Therapy Can Provide Back Pain Relief

Physical therapy at Therapy Fit Physical Therapy in Frisco, TX is highly effective for relieving back pain. Our team of skilled physical therapists uses a combination of treatments validated by peer-reviewed research studies to address your unique needs and enhance your quality of life.

When you come in for an evaluation, our physical therapists first take a thorough history to understand your past illnesses, surgeries, and injuries. Next, we’ll conduct a hands-on assessment to assess the condition of your muscles and joints. This allows us to identify areas of tenderness or restrictions contributing to your back pain.

Our physical therapists will also perform specialized functional testing to understand how your back pain affects your everyday life and help us tailor our treatment plan to your specific needs and lifestyle.

We’ll utilize a range of treatment techniques, including the following:

  • Manual Therapy: This is a specialized form of physical therapy where our therapist uses his or her hands to apply pressure on muscle tissue and manipulate joints, aiming to decrease back pain caused by muscle spasms, tension, and joint dysfunction.
  • Therapeutic Exercise Programs: Our therapists will design individualized exercise programs that can help improve strength, flexibility, mobility, and posture. Postural exercises can be used to correct alignment issues that may be contributing to pain.
  • Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE): This approach aims to educate patients about pain and change beliefs and perceptions. Understanding the complex nature of pain can help reduce fear, misconceptions, and avoidance behaviors, which can help you resolve your pain once and for all!.
  • Patient Education and Self-Management: This could involve learning about safe movement and lifting techniques, strategies for maintaining activity levels during a pain episode, methods for stress management, and understanding the warning signs of a potential back pain flare-up.
