Physical Therapists

• Physical Therapy
  Back pain effects more than 85% of all Americans during their lifetime.  It can have many causes such disc, joint, ligament/bone or muscular pathology.  Acute pain (less than six weeks onset) is usually self-limited.  Immediate medical attention should be sought when weakness, loss sensation, or bladder/bowel changes accompany the pain.  Tumors and malignant causes of pain are rare, occurring in less than 1% of those people suffering from back pain.  However, this should be further looked at if neurologic changes occur and the pain doesn’t resolve with treatments.   While acute pain is usually recognized as only lasting approximately 6 weeks, chronic pain is generally termed after 12 weeks.   Bed rest is not advised, nor is the use of a lumbar support belt for more than two weeks.   Most sources of pain respond to conservative treatments, which may include physical therapy,  anti-inflammatory medications, topical pain relievers and cortisone injections.  Unfortunately, there is a subset  of people whose pain is so severe that activities or work are extremely limited during the first six weeks. Or, the pain extends beyond six weeks and approaches the chronic stages of a condition. For these groups of patients, many will respond to interventional pain procedures.
