Your doctor may request that you attempt The McKenzie Method of Physical Therapy. This tried and true method of treatment emphasizes reproducible & noticeable results as well as independence in treatment. The McKenzie Method aims to quickly reduce pain and return to your prior level of function. It also has a strong focus on independence and patient driven care, encouraging patients to “treat their own spine”.
There is a strong educational component that helps to recognize triggers of pain and prevent future exacerbations. This also allows you to treat your symptoms if they ever do return.
Physical Therapy may help with pain associated with:
- Back pain
