Condition
Lower Back Pain & PT
PT is a first-line, evidence-based treatment for most low back pain.
What to expect
Assessment of movement, targeted exercise, manual therapy, and education — not just rest.
What the evidence says
Guidelines recommend active PT over imaging or opioids for most non-specific low back pain.
Educational summary, not medical advice. Evidence evolves — discuss options with a licensed provider.
When to see a physician
Numbness, leg weakness, or loss of bladder/bowel control is an emergency — seek care now.
