While following the above steps can greatly decrease your risk of pain or injury, they are not always completely effective. Fortunately, back pain and sciatica are both effectively treated through physical therapy. Our licensed physical therapists will help determine your diagnosis before creating your treatment plan. The main stages of your plan will focus on pain relief, which may include any combination of light exercises, manual therapy, ice and heat therapies, posture improvement, or any other treatment that your physical therapist deems fit. As you progress and improve, your physical therapist will expand on your exercises and stretches by making them more intensive over time. This will help increase your overall strength and range of motion. We will spend one- on-one time with you on each visit, using hands-on techniques that get the joints, muscles, and nerves moving again. We will also design a comprehensive exercise and education program to get you back to comfortably doing what you want to do. A physical therapist can help you move better with less pain, which can make your hobbies and physical activities much easier. A physical therapist can help speed up your recovery by giving you the tools to be successful – we don’t just treat your symptoms; we want to empower you to be able to prevent your pain from returning and to live your daily life without fearing discomfort from your back pain or sciatica. If you are experiencing back pain or sciatica and you are looking for relief, contact Ellis Physical Therapy today – we’ll get you on the road to recovery so you can get back to tending your garden in no time!
