Ouch!!! Not again….

If you’re a lower back pain sufferer… you know when you’ve pulled “that” muscle again. And, you know that you’re in for 2 or more weeks of acute pain. This can limit your activity and impair your work performance. It can stop you from playing with your kids, exercising, or enjoying nearly every activity.

Physical Therapy for Lower Back Pain

If you’re an “LBP” sufferer (what we call it at Klein Physical Therapy in Denver), you know that there isn’t much that helps…. except physical therapy. The muscles in your lower back (the erector spinae muscles), help support your spine and connect to your gluteal muscles. They have a lot of work to do! When your core is weak, your back muscles can try to support everything on their own… which can lead to inflammation when they are agitated. (aka, pain!)

Physical therapy for back pain in Denver is a very highly searched phrase. That’s because this kind of lower back pain is so common for so many of us humans. I mean technically… we aren’t “supposed” to even be walking upright. When our ancestors started this trend, it helped us a lot, but also created some issues… such as babies having to develop outside the womb in the fourth trimester, and, you guessed it, lower back pain.

Can You Heal Chronic Lower Back Pain with Physical Therapy?

So, we know it helps, but can physical therapy actually heal lower back pain? Yes, you actually can. And if you can’t heal it all the way, physical therapy can severely reduce the pain you experience. If you’ve tried other healing modalities (massage for one), you might have discovered that the muscles in your lower back are extremely hard to get to. It takes muscle training and strengthening to get the right tension in the supporting muscles so that one is not doing the job of two, three, four or more others (which can result in a strain or sprain).
