There are several causes of low back pain. Low back pain
can be very debilitating, as you well know. Most people in the
world suffer low back pain from over lifting, twisting, mis-stepping,
bending or something as simple as getting out of a chair.
Most people recover fine from their initial back pain
episode on their own. When these episodes occur more often or
last longer, there is usually a reason. Left alone, your lower
back pain may become much more intense. 90% or more of back
pain patients will regain normal function with physical
therapy treatment.
We offer several approaches to treating back pain; one being the McKenzie approach.
The
McKenzie approach utilizes treatment of posture, gain motion
of the spine, and mechanically reducing disc pressure. Our therapists
have been very successful with this approach
at Twin Rivers Physical Therapy.
Please call Twin Rivers Physical Therapy at 509-758-8510 if
you believe you may benefit from the McKenzie therapy
program or if you have any questions.
