Are you suffering from back pain? Back pain is one of the most common problems, with over 80 percent of Americans suffering from upper, middle, or lower back pain at some point in their life. Back pain is one of the most-common ailments causing people to seek physical therapy for back pain relief. At Wasatch Peak Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating back pain in our four Northern Utah Physical Therapy clinics.
Causes of Back Pain
Back pain is caused by various conditions, including sports injuries, improper ergonomics, car accidents, fractures, and more. Back pain can be debilitating, causing patients to miss out on activities and even struggle to get out of bed. The aging process is not easy on the body, and many patients start experiencing degenerative disc disease. As the back is a complex structure of the ligaments, muscles, bones, discs, and tendons, it requires professional treatment. We treat patients with several back pain causes, including:
- Muscle strains, spasms, and tension
- Bulging or damaged discs
- Injuries and fractures
- Sciatica pain
- Arthritis
- Osteoporosis
- Scoliosis
Common Symptoms of Back Pain
Symptoms of back pain can vary based on the source. In some patients, pain can be a dull ache that comes and goes; others experience intense, sharp, and shooting pain. It is essential to seek physical therapy for back pain to reduce inflammation, pain and improve function. We treat several back pain symptoms, including:
- Persistent pain throughout the back
