Getting In Front of Back Pain.
If you suffer from back pain, you know firsthand how it can impact you physically and emotionally. Know this: you’re not alone. Around 80% of us will experience back pain in our lifetimes. Your doctor will tell you that it’s one of the most common conditions they treat, and employers claim it’s at the top of the list of reasons people miss work.
Physical Therapy Sooner Not Later
Early referral and intervention is the key to treating back pain. The thing to remember is, we no longer have to accept back pain the way our parents and grandparents did. The sooner you get therapy, the better.
