Physical Therapy is an important component in the treatment and prevention of back pain. The initial treatment ranges from passive modalities such as ultrasound, back school and spinal rehabilitation classes. The second phase focuses on flexibility and strengthening, conditioning exercises, and muscle endurance training. Our physicians will design a physical therapy program specific for your injury, and incorporate the treatment with other nonoperative measures such as injections or medications.

Therapy may include:
• Modalities, such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation
• Exercise programs for spine strengthening and flexibility
• Spine stabilization programs with the therapist
