Physical Therapy For Back Pain

Your spine is 33 bones, that begins from the skull and go down to the pelvis. If even one of these bones begins to pain, the amalgamative impact becomes close to unbearable. At Horizon Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, we treat and prevent back pain of all forms through non-medicated methods. From your upper back to middle and lower back, we’ve got you covered. Our in-house professionals are licensed therapists. They assign just the right movements to target the designated area of pain and ensure healing from within.

Avoid Invasive Surgeries

Back pain is excruciating and that’s exactly why people are willing to undergo intricate procedures simply to eliminate it. Unfortunately, back pain procedures aren’t always risk-free. Whether it’s painkiller drugs or invasive, surgical procedures, they mostly come with the minute chance of going downhill. Do not take that chance until absolutely necessary. Some back pains can be healed without invasive surgeries. Sometimes, physical therapy is all you need. We are all you need.

What We Treat

Finding it difficult to stand still, walk straight, or even sit upright? This might be a sign of back pain creeping up on you. Do not take it lightly. Have a look at most categories of back pain and see if yours fits the bill:

Arthritis

When turning your head, or even straightening your back, seems more like a task than anything else, arthritis may be on the way. Stop it in its tracks. Start with physical therapy.

Sciatica

The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in your body, that extends from your lower back to the hips and each leg. So, if you have sciatica pain, it can worsen enough to limit mobility. A few exercises with us can help prevent this.

Disc Rupture

A ruptured disc usually presents itself with sharp, searing pains in the lower back. Simple acts like restricting activity and having an exercise guide can help you stay away from invasive therapy and self-heal.

Muscle Spasm

Anyone can get back spasms. It might be because you use your stomach muscles a lot, like an athlete. Or even if you sit too much and barely use them. Fortunately, physical therapy can heal and prevent muscle spasms considerably.

Injury

From falling down the stairs to being in a car accident, a back injury can leave you with trouble moving and that takes a toll on you – physically and mentally. Our team helps you on both accounts!

Fracture

Injuries, especially sports injuries, sometimes result in a “broken back”. Healing usually involves wearing a brace. But the process is improved with an activity guide, courtesy of our licensed physical therapists.
