When Should You See a Physical Therapist for Back Pain?

Sometimes, back pain comes and goes quickly. At other times, however, it can linger. It's time to seek out a physical therapist if your pain remains for a longer span of time than a month or if the severity of your pain interferes with daily activities.

Even if you don't remember what caused your back pain, it can often be traced to specific activities or movements, such as persistent bad posture or lifting a heavy weight with your lower back muscles. It's a PT's job to get to the medical condition at the root of your symptoms and address it with a carefully chosen combination of treatments. These include exercise, manual therapy and ice packs, education, training and more.

Discover the root causes of your back pain

Back pain can stem from various factors, and the quickest way to pinpoint its cause is by consulting a physical therapist.

  • Poor Posture: Incorrect posture can strain your body, leading to pain, inflammation, or dysfunction in various areas.
  • Sprain/Strain: Overstretching ligaments or back muscles can result in a back sprain or strain.
  • Herniated Discs: These can cause significant back pain, radiculopathy in your thigh, leg, or foot, and even sciatica.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD): As we age, DDD becomes a significant source of back discomfort, often manifesting as a dull, painful ache in the lower back.

The Signs and Symptoms of Back Pain

Muscle strain, nerve issues or conditions with the discs of the spine, such as spinal stenosis, can cause back pain. It manifests in a number of different ways: It can be an ache in the muscles, or it can be a shooting, burning or stabbing sensation. Sometimes, it can radiate down a leg, and it can be worsened by various movements such as bending or twisting, standing or lifting.

There are specific symptoms of severe back pain that can interfere with your daily life and need medical attention:

  • It causes weakness, numbness or tingling in one or both legs
  • The pain spreads down one or both legs and reaches below the knee
  • It isn't improved by rest
  • It's paired with unexplained weight loss

Your physical therapist can help and, where necessary, can alert you if your condition might need surgery.

What Can Happen if You Don't Treat Your Back Pain?

Chronic back pain is generally a sign of serious health conditions that need medical intervention. Trying to ignore it can mean needlessly letting the underlying conditions get worse. Physical therapy can fix your body's imbalances and prevent pain and injuries from worsening so you can keep enjoying the activities you love.
