Did you know up to 84% of the general population will experience lower back pain at some point in their lives? Our experts at Davis PTSR categorize low back pain into three main subgroups: acute, sub-acute, and chronic. We also further classify back pain using methods like the Mackenzie method, among others. By accurately identifying these subgroups, we can create a more specific care plan that effectively reduces your pain and helps you return to the activities you enjoy. 

 

Patients often ask, “What is the best way to manage my back pain flare-ups?” The answer is simple: KEEP MOVING. Recent research indicates that rest and medication are not as effective as activity and low-intensity exercises for alleviating acute back pain. The causes of low back pain vary widely, including herniated discs, arthritis, facet syndrome, and poor posture, among others. Understanding which specific issue is affecting you is key to finding a resolution.

 

At Davis PTSR, we employ the Mackenzie method, core progression, manual therapy, mechanical traction, and other techniques to treat low back pain. Each case of low back pain is thoroughly assessed to identify its root causes. Our immediate goal is to relieve your pain, and then we focus on preventative care. We believe that a patient-centered, individualized approach is essential for effectively addressing back pain, and this is our commitment at Davis PTSR.
