Whether you’ve never tried physical therapy in the past or have tried it and you didn’t get the results you wanted, there’s still a chance to gain relief from your back pain through physical therapy.
Once people start dealing with serious back pain, many of them are encouraged to go through surgery or to get on medication that they may have to depend on for the rest of their lives. Oftentimes after surgery, some people aren’t able to do activities the same way they did before like picking up their kids, lifting weights, or playing sports. Fortunately, with physical therapy people are able to recover and maintain their ability to do these everyday activities the same way they did before their backs were injured.
5 signs that you can relieve and restore your back through physical therapy:
If your pain is associated with motion or relieved with rest, then it can be treated with physical therapy. Physical therapists are movement specialists, so if your pain is associated with movement there are changes that can be made in your movement pattern. This can be done by releasing your joints, helping your muscles move better, or relieving stiffness from your spine.
If your spine or back is tender to touch on a moderate or external level, then it can be treated with physical therapy. Tenderness is typically a sign that there are internal issues like the malfunctioning of an organ or the presence of a disease. Physical therapists are educated professionals who are able to get to the bottom of the issue. They will be able to properly diagnose you and recommend stretches or perform hands-on activities that they are skilled in doing on your pain.
If you’re uncomfortable when you’re sleeping because of your pain, then it can be treated with physical therapy. Physical therapists also educate people to know why your sleeping positions are causing you pain and what you can do to reverse it. They also offer at-home techniques to do while sleeping like using pillows or wedges to improve your spine’s position regardless of the way you sleep.
If you’ve had pain for a very long time, then it can be treated with physical therapy. Physical rehabilitation is a gradual process that will help you recover from your pain and swelling. Long term pain usually comes with pain in different body parts that are involved like muscles, joints, and nerves. When it gets to this point, you need a gentle restorative process and procedure to help address those injuries one at a time and in the right order.
If you had a traumatic injury that has affected your back, then it can be treated with physical therapy. Physical therapy will help get you back to the point of being able to have a stronger body so that next time your back doesn’t blow out.
