Back Pain

Back pain is common but treatable. At AIM Physical Therapy we have extensive knowledge and experience in the treatment of back pain. Our physical therapists will help you develop a custom program tailored to help you move better and relieve back pain.

Your lumbar spine is stressed with bending, stooping, sitting, and lifting. Frequent performance of these activities can increase your pain.  However, back pain can occur at anytime, even while sleeping.

Physical therapy can help you move better and may relieve back pain. It also helps improve or restore your physical function and your fitness level.

Flexibility

Flexibility is critical to spine health. Our protocols consist of a flexibility component to increase both trunk and lower extremity range of motion.  

AIM Physical Therapy will help you develop a custom program tailored for your needs.

Strengthening

 Trunk and lower extremity stability through core stabilization helps in the prevention and treatment of back pain. This is especially true for patients performing lifting tasks.

In addition, patients who have sedentary jobs with significant periods of sitting are at risk for a loss of trunk strength.
