Understanding Back Pain And How Physical Therapy Can Help
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care, and it can affect every part of your life — from work and exercise to simple daily activities. At Physical Therapy Associates, we help patients in Conroe and Huntsville find lasting back pain relief through customized, hands-on treatments that address the source of discomfort.
Whether your pain is in the lower back, mid back or upper back, our goal is not only to ease your symptoms but to restore your mobility and prevent future flare-ups.
Types Of Back Pain Physical Therapy Can Treat
We provide therapy for back pain in all its forms, including:
- Lower back pain — Including chronic low back pain and acute flare-ups
- Mid back pain — Addressing discomfort in the mid back right side, mid back left side or central thoracic spine
- Upper back pain — Treating upper left back pain, upper right back pain and upper middle back pain
- Sciatica nerve pain — Offering sciatica treatment plans tailored to relieve compression and improve mobility
Common Causes Of Back Pain
Find The Source Of Your Discomfort
Lower back pain is often caused by muscle strains, poor posture, disc issues or conditions like arthritis. Mid back pain can stem from poor ergonomics, muscle imbalance or even rib dysfunction, while upper back pain causes may include prolonged computer use, lifting injuries or spinal misalignment.
Sciatica — a type of low back and leg pain — occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed. This can cause sharp, shooting discomfort down the leg along with numbness or tingling. Physical therapy for sciatica targets the nerve irritation at its source, restoring movement and reducing pain.
Physical Therapy Treatments For Back Pain Relief
Our back pain therapy plans may include:
- Manual therapy — Hands-on techniques to reduce muscle tension and improve joint mobility
- Therapeutic exercise — Strengthening and stretching exercises to restore core and spinal stability
- Postural training — Correcting poor alignment to reduce strain on the spine
- Dry needling — Targeting trigger points to ease tension and nerve irritation
- Massage therapy — Promoting relaxation and circulation to reduce pain
