Lower back pain in the United States. Low back pain has consistently accounted for the most significant number of years lived with disability in the US population. It has been reported that close to 40% of adults in the US said lower back pain in the prior threemonths, and the rates of low back pain had been steadily rising in the United States. Unfortunately, despite the lack of evidence, opioids are still being used to alleviate back pain. The health-care costs for adults with spinal problems have been progressively increasing and were estimated at over $6000 per person with chronic lower back in 2005, with a total cost of $102 billion. Unfortunately, many of those financial resources go into dealing with back pain through pain management andmedication, but that is not an effective long-term solution for dealing with back pain. A further interesting find is that of those who experience lower back pain, only 58% opted to seek help to address the pain. The majority of people try to rest, use over-the-counter medicine, or try their exercises at home. For those seeking treatments that have been shown to work, a physical therapist could significantly improve their outcomes!
Lowback pain is by far one of themost common ailments ever experienced. Just about everyone deals with low back pain at one point. It is estimated that 80 % of all Americans experience lower back pain some time in their lives. It is also one of the most common reasons people miss work and is the second most common reason people visit the doctor’s office. For some, the lucky ones, perhaps, the pain lasts just for a few days. For others, the low back pain lingers for years and never really heals or goes away. Sometimes we can identify the exact reason for back pain, resulting from a particularly grueling day of yard work, improper or prolonged postures, or a slip-and-fall accident. At other times it seems to come for no apparent reason. WE ARE RANKED #33 ON THE ENTREPRENEUR FRANCHISE 500 FOR 2020

HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP YOUR BACK PAIN
Physical therapy is an excellent resource for lower back pain because it addresses the cause of the pain rather than simply attempting to hide the symptoms. Working with a physical therapist can help you experience an improved range of motion, restore strength to muscles in your lower back, and reduce tension in your lower back muscles through targeted manual therapies. According to the evidence on back pain, physical therapy treatments are effective for acute and chronic conditions. Physical therapy remains the first-line treatment and should be routinely used to get impactful results. Physical therapy treatments that are most effective for lower back pain include: • Manual therapy • Joint mobilization/manipulations • Exercise instruction (i.e., targeted stretches, strengthening, and mobility work) • Education and instruction for understanding what helps and what hurts • Addressing the fear some may experience related to back pain • Techniques like the McKenzie Method and Therapeutic Yoga Reach out to one of our physical therapists for information and support overcoming lower back pain, and finally, find long-term relief. What to expect in physical therapy. At your initial assessment, your physical therapist will take a thorough history and perform a physical exam. The oral history of your back pain helps your therapist identify any “red flags” that would indicate a more serious condition or that warrants a different form of medical intervention. (i.e., fracture, tumor, infections,
or systemic inflammatory disease). The physical examination involves taking you through a series of specific movements to allow your therapist to classify your condition. Our therapists interpret this information to determine the most effective treatment options based on well-researched interventions and clinical experiences. This approach eliminates guessing and provides a clear direction for designing an exercise program that will alleviate pain and get you back to doing what you have been avoiding due to pain.

At FYZICAL, our physical therapists use researched interventions that are the most effective treatments for eliminating your pain and helping you overcome your back pain with everyday activities.

Do you use the new year as an annual health seminar with yourself? Here’s a list of 3 simple wellness tips. Hopefully, these will make picking an easily-attainable goal less daunting and enjoyable. Cheers to a healthy and happy new year. 1. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water. If you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink 80 ounces of water. When the body is dehydrated, it doesn’t run efficiently. Drinking water has plenty of benefits including increasing energy, flushing out toxins, improving skin complexion and boosting immunity, to name a few. 2. Start the morning with a hydrating warm drink. I choose warmwater and lemon because I like the taste. I’ve also seen apple cider vinegar concoctions that rehydrate and influence the body’s alkaline state, which has been noted for added health benefits. Drink these before coffee and breakfast for instant energy, likely from the rehydration process. 3. Be active daily. Aim for 30 minutes of activity daily. Break it up throughout the day: 10 minutes before work, 10 minutes afterwards and 10 minutes home with the kids. If a long-term resolution seems daunting, aim for newmeasurable goals monthly. Think short-term and create a new goal every month. For instance, come up with an idea like drink homemade juices or smoothies five days a week or don’t eat packaged snacks for a month. It doesn’t seem like such a life overhaul if you add or eliminate a certain food for just 30 days. Plus, if you get in the rhythm of it, you might continue. Or if not, you know you will start a new goal the next month. Good luck. Happy New Year and always remember to check with your doctor or physical therapist when making changes to your lifestyle.
