PT IS AN EFFECTIVE BACK PAIN SOLUTION!
You’re in luck: For most people, back pain resolves on its own. And for those that continue to experience pain, physical therapy can help. According to research on back pain, physical therapy treatments are effective for acute and chronic conditions. Physical therapy treatments for back pain include manual therapy, joint mobilization, manipulation, tissue specific exercise instruction, and education. Here at CTPTS we have great success utilizing our Redcord system particularly with our low back pain patients. These have all been proven to help alleviate pain and restore function. Physical therapists assess your particular condition to identify the contributing factors and address ALL of them. Rather than focusing on one cause of your pain, your physical therapist will address all of the causes. We are skilled at hands-on intervention and exercise selection for the most comprehensive and appropriate intervention to help you resolve your pain and/or restore your function. BACK PAIN PREVENTION A little prevention goes a long way. If you want to avoid future back pain, you can make sure you’re being good to your back.
Use Good Posture Our spine is designed to move which means our posture should also move. The spine does not like to remain in any one position for extended times. Most people slouch and then hold that position for extended periods of time. By finding a “good” posture you can counteract the slouch. Use Strength Training Your body has hundreds of muscles. These muscles protect and control your spine. By lifting weights, running and swimming, you can keep them strong. Train the muscles of your hips, pelvis and spine — your core muscles.

Limit Sitting For Too Long Prolonged sitting is not good for your back,
or your overall health. Although adjusting your posture while sitting can be helpful, a more effective option is to stand
up periodically throughout the day. Limit your sitting to 30-45 minutes at a time. The results will be noticeable!
