Back Pain Treatment

Back Pain Treatment in NYC

Back pain is the single most common reason people visit a physical therapist — and for good reason. Whether you're dealing with an acute flare-up or chronic low back pain, physical therapy is consistently shown to be one of the most effective treatments available.

Common Causes

• Muscle strain — from lifting, bending, or sudden movements
• Disc herniation or bulging — causing local or radiating pain
• Spinal stenosis — narrowing of the spinal canal
• Degenerative disc disease — age-related wear
• SI joint dysfunction — pain at the base of the spine
• Postural strain — from prolonged sitting or poor ergonomics
