Back Pain Treatments

• Stretching – muscles that are extremely tight can cause a series of other issues.
• Mobilization – sometimes the muscles of our bodies stop working the way they need to in order for you to move easily. We can help loosen these muscles and help them to begin operating the way they are intended.
• Manipulation – our therapists can help move your body into certain positions to help reduce the stiffness or lack of movement your body is experiencing. conditioning
• Back muscle conditioning & strengthening – sometimes injuries or pain happen because the muscles around the area are too weak. They aren’t properly supporting what they need to be. By strengthening the muscle groups around the area we can often reduce the pain and help prevent future injuries.
