If You Are Suffering from Chronic Back Pain. Physical Therapy Can Help!

February 10th, 2020
Chronic Back Pain Sufferers

A Message of Hope for Chronic Back Pain Sufferers

Do you feel as if your chronic back pain has locked you out of your own life? This nagging, excruciating symptom can stem from a variety of underlying causes, in some cases growing progressively worse from day to day until you can hardly move at all. Even with these awful limitations, however, you may be understandably wary of subjecting your back to the risks of major surgery. The good news is that you may not need to go to such extremes, thanks to physical therapy. A skilled physical therapist can often identify the source of your pain, developing a personalized treatment program that doesn’t involve drugs or surgery in any way. Contact AIM Orthopedics: Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine today!

How Back Pain Becomes a Chronic Problem

Most people, it seems, are no strangers to back pain. Low back pain, in particular, plagues an estimated fourth-fifths of adults at some point or another. Many of these issues are related to acute injuries such as auto accidents, sports accidents, or workplace injuries caused by improper lifting practices. As these injuries heal themselves, the pain is supposed to fade away. In other conditions such as pregnancy, back pain disappears after the baby is born and the body resumes its normal weight and spinal alignment.

Sometimes, however, back pain develops into chronic misery. Some conditions such as spinal arthritis, spondylolisthesis, or spinal stenosis don’t heal themselves, leaving you with constant or recurring pain. Other kinds of chronic back pain occur due to repetitive motion injuries and soft tissue strain. Poor workplace or sports ergonomics, weak back muscles that don’t support a normal posture, or musculoskeletal irregularities such as fallen arches can place your upper or lower back in a state of ongoing agony.

Have you been fearing the treatment for your chronic back pain more than the pain itself? Many back pain sufferers are rightfully concerned about the prospect of taking large numbers of painkillers, which may reduce their pain temporarily while creating their own long-term complications. They may be even more afraid to undergo a major spinal surgery such as vertebral fusion, a procedure which may leave you even more limited in your range of motion, prove completely ineffective against the pain, or possibly even make the pain worse.

Physical Therapy Could Hold Your Answers

The smartest way to fight chronic back pain is by helping your back function more normally — and the smartest way to do that is through physical therapy. Our physical therapist can confirm the cause of your upper or lower back pain, from a degenerative condition to strained muscles or an unbalanced body. You may benefit from a physical therapy program that includes:

  • Strengthening exercises to help you enjoy better spinal support and maintain a straighter posture
  • Flexibility exercises to gently and carefully extend your pain-free range of back motion
  • Stabilization exercises to help keep your spinal components in place as you perform everyday tasks (from sitting in a chair to getting out of bed)
  • Orthotics to compensate for foot or leg imbalances that are straining your muscles
  • Alternating cryotherapy and heat therapy to relieve tissue pain and inflammation
  • Chiropractic adjustments to normalize your spinal alignment and improve spinal joint function
  • Lifestyle changes to prevent unnecessary strain due to awkward workplace or sports ergonomics
  • Cold laser therapy and/or massage therapy to soothe, warm and relax tight muscles and connective tissues
