Low Back Pain / Sciatica
A huge number of us – 84% to be exact – will suffer from lower back pain at some point in our lives. Research shows that the sooner you address it, the better off you’ll be. With early intervention, patients can be treated with fewer costly injections, painful surgeries, and dangerous opioids.
Get Your Back Back with CORA.
Anyone who has “a bad back” knows how it can limit your daily life. When you walk, you’re constantly on the lookout for a bench or a building to lean against. At the grocery store, your cart becomes a walker. The only thing worse than having to stand is sitting too long. The goals of physical therapy at CORA are to decrease your pain, improve your function, and teach you how to prevent back problems from recurring in the future.
