Low Back Pain: Causes and How Physical Therapy Can Help
If your low back pain is persistent, severe, or affecting your daily life, it’s time to consider physical therapy. Some signs that you could benefit from PT include:
You’ve had back pain for a few weeks or longer.
Pain is making it hard to perform regular activities (like walking, sitting, or standing).
You’ve tried rest and over-the-counter pain medications but haven’t seen much improvement.
Your doctor suggests physical therapy as a way to treat or manage your back pain.
The earlier you start, the better! Physical therapy is most effective when you catch problems early, before they become chronic or lead to further complications.
