|
|
You, or someone you know may have experienced low back pain. In fact, 1 in 4 American’s experience low back pain at any given time. Although it is common, low back pain is often misunderstood and left untreated.
Individuals with low back pain are faced with a variety of treatment options. Common practice includes prescription medication, wait and see approach, imaging and/or steroid injections. Current data shows, however, that physical therapy is one of the most effective ways to decrease pain and improve function. It also is one of the most cost effective approaches.
Don’t Wait - 14 Days Is Key To Your Recovery
Recent research has concluded a greater decrease in pain and higher level of functional improvement was achieved in patients who received physical therapy 14 days or less from when the pain began compared to patients who waited more than 14 days. Statistically, patients also recover FASTER the earlier they receive the right medical care.
