Back Pain & Neck Pain

Physical Therapy Treatment of Back Pain & Neck Pain

Physical Therapy for Back & Neck Pain

Physical therapy can be a stand-alone treatment for neck or back pain. It can also be complimentary to a surgery, oral medications, or injections.

Many people find relief from back pain with physical therapy while decreasing their medications and improving their function.

In addition to hands-on treatment, our physical therapists also provide education concerning proper lifting techniques, ergonomics, and prevention strategies. Our goal is to get you back to doing what you love to do, pain free.
