Back Pain Management
Every day, millions of people deal with back pain worldwide. Let’s talk about what might be causing your discomfort, what we can do to help, and how you can get back to feeling great and moving freely
Common Cause of Back Pain
Your back might be giving you grief for various reasons. For example, sometimes people just sleep wrong, or pull a muscle getting up off the floor from playing with their kids, or might be using incorrect form when working out.
Maybe you slipped on ice or tripped on a curb, got in a fender-bender, or took a hit on the sports field. Or perhaps it’s your daily grind – sitting too long, carrying too much body weight, or doing repetitive tasks.
As we get older, wear and tear can definitely play a part. The discs in your spine gradually start to deteriorate, and arthritis can creep in.
Here are some common culprits:
- Ligament Sprain – Back ligaments help hold your spine together and keep it stable. They can get sprained when your back moves beyond its normal range motion and stretches them further than they’re used to
- Muscle Strain – Overdo it with the heavy lifting or slouch too much, and you might cause tears in your back muscles.
- Herniated Disc – Sometimes, the soft inner material of your discs pokes out, irritating nerves and causing pain.
- Fractured Vertebrae – Trauma, osteoporosis, or other conditions can cause breaks in the bones of your spine.
- Pinched Nerve – This happens when something squeezes or irritates a nerve, messing with its normal function and causing pain, discomfort, tingling and more.
Back Pain Treatment
Our expert team of physical therapists, all fully licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy, have a bunch of tricks up their sleeves to ease your back pain and get you moving again.
Manual Therapy
Joint mobilization
Gentle movements to improve mobility in areas of the spine that are restricted, restoring normal joint mechanics and reducing stiffness.
Soft tissue mobilization
Techniques like massage and myofascial release may be used to release tension in muscles, ligaments and fascia focused around the spine.
Trigger point therapy
We provide targeted pressure to alleviate muscle tension and improve function.
Therapeutic Interventions
Movement Analysis
During movement analysis, our physical therapists analyze posture, balance, and other factors to help diagnose the root cause of your pain.
Custom Rehab Programs

Back Pain Treatment Techniques
Cupping
Cupping involves placing cups on your skin to create suction to improve blood flow, ease muscle tension, and promote healing.
Dry Needling
This therapy uses needles to release knotted muscles or trigger points. Sometimes accompanied by electrical stimulation, using carefully controlled electrical pulses to ease muscle tension and dial down pain.
Kinesiotaping
Kinesiotaping supports and stabilizes muscles and joints using a specialized elastic tape. It’s applied directly to the skin over muscles or joints in specific patterns to provide support without restricting movement.
Graston Technique
Therapists use stainless steel instruments to find and work out tight spots and scar tissue in your muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
The PRO Therapy Difference
At PRO Therapy, our goal is to empower you to live a pain-free life by addressing the root causes of your back pain and providing comprehensive treatment tailored to your unique needs.
If you’re suffering from back pain and stiffness, it’s easy to hope that it will go away on its own. You might think you just slept awkwardly, or it’s just a spasm, or that everyone your age has back pain.
If you’re experiencing back pain and don’t know what caused it, everything you’ve tried isn’t working and you’re fed up – you’ve come to the right place. As a matter of fact, general back pain and sciatica are the most common concerns that we hear about at PRO Therapy.
The difference between seeing one of our physical therapists and seeing your primary care doctor or another type of provider is that a Doctor of Physical Therapy is more specialized in assessing causes of pain and stiffness.
In just a couple of sessions, we can often dial down your pain and stiffness and get you feeling better fast.
