Physical Therapy in Linwood for Lower Back
Welcome to Body In Balance Physical Therapy and Fitness Center's patient resource about low back pain.
Low back (lumbar) pain is one of the main reasons people visit their doctor. For adults over 40, it ranks third as a major issue—after heart disease and arthritis— that necessitates medical treatment.
Eighty percent of people will experience low back pain at some point in their lives. Furthermore, nearly each individual who suffers from this problem will endure recurring low back pain.
Very few people who feel pain in their low back have a serious medical problem! Ninety percent of people who experience low back pain typically report that their symptoms usually resolve in 2-6 weeks. In addition, experiencing a bout of back pain does not usually mean your condition will develop into a chronic back issue.
For moderate or severe pain that persists or becomes debilitating, the temporary use of pain relievers and Physical Therapy may help provide lasting relief.
