Lower Back

Millions of Americans are adversely impacted by back pain each year. Studies show that, at one point or another, approximately 80% of the U.S. population will be affected.

While there are a lot of treatment options available, many of these only address the symptoms and don’t target the actual cause of your pain or handle it for the long term.

The three main causes of low back pain and sciatica are:

1. Herniated Discs
2. Arthritis
3. Pelvis issues

Without identifying the correct cause of your pain there is no way to develop the proper treatment plan.

Our physical therapists will find the actual cause of your back pain. The goal of effectively resolving your low back pain or sciatica includes…

• Identify the true cause
• Create a unique plan for your specific condition
• Relieve your pain
• Restore your normal motion, flexibility, mobility
• Strengthen the supporting muscle
• Return to your normal activities

Here at Therapy Services Associates our specialty is Back and Neck Pain. Our therapists are very experienced and have the knowledge and skills to provide a number of different ways to reach your goal of getting back to your normal self again.

1. It begins with a full interview and physical therapy examination.
2. Afterwards the therapist will explain to you in English, not medical jargon, where the cause of your problem is coming from.
3. YOUR GOALS and YOUR EXPECTATIONS will be discussed and agreed upon.
