Physical Therapy For Low Back Pain

Physical therapy for low back pain is a non-invasive treatment approach focusing on reducing pain, improving function, and providing education on a maintenance program to prevent further recurrences. This therapy typically includes a combination of manual therapy, exercises, and modalities such as heat, ice, and electrical stimulation. The exercises are tailored to individual needs, aiming to improve flexibility, strength, core stability, and posture. Education on proper body mechanics and ergonomic adjustments is also a crucial component to help patients manage their condition effectively. The goal is to empower patients with the tools and knowledge to actively participate in their recovery and prevent future episodes of low back pain.
