WALK AWAY FROM YOUR NAGGING BACK PAIN! There are many reasons why back pain may occur. Perhaps you feel it in your upper back, surrounding the neck and shoulders, or in the lower back at the lumbar. Whatever the case may be, physical therapy evaluations can get to the root of the problem so you can receive the treatment you need to recover. Why can’t I just use medication? While pain medications are frequently helpful at alleviating the discomfort of your back pain for a short period of time, they are not capable of resolving the issue that is causing your pain to develop in the first place. The only thing that can actually fix your back pain is addressing the issue that is causing your pain head on. Physical therapy is a great resource for addressing your back pain and helping you get back on your feet. Whether your back pain developed from a sudden injury or from a chronic issue that has developed over time, physical therapy can help. Contact AgeWell Physical Therapy today to learn more.

Walking Toward a Pain-Free Life When a patient suffers from back pain, it can affect their gait. When you can’t walk, even basic tasks become complicated. Getting out of bed in the morning, getting to and from work, moving your way around the office, and even spending time with family on the weekends may become altered due to your back pain. When your back pain begins to interfere with your ability to move around freely, it is important to seek help ASAP. Working with a physical therapist to develop improved strategies and techniques with your walking could help you to get back on your feet even sooner than you thought possible. Targeted exercises have been proven to help with back pain relief and improved function, sometimes after just a few short sessions!
