Great service from start to finish! I really appreciate Dr. Maribel and Sara my PTA and all of the front desk staff. They really make you feel like part of the family. They are knowledgeable and have a good team.
Just started coming here last week and I already feel comfortable with the staff. Maribel, Wes and the rest of the crew are all welcoming and informative. I already starting to feel some relief from my back pain which makes me feel positive I'll be off of light duty at work sooner than planned.
After weeks of dealing with vertigo my doctor sent me here. I learned a lot at the first appointment and after one week the vertigo was gone! They were very helpful and informative. It also seems like a nice work environment, the employees always seem to be enjoying themselves.
Maribel and her staff are awesome. My daughter referred me while out of town and they took me in right away! Treatments have been great and my knee feels a lot better now.
Did you know that approximately 80 percent of Americans have experienced (or will experience) chronic back pain? That’s a depressing statistic, especially if you’re already one of those sufferers.
Chronic back pain can prevent you from performing the countless daily tasks you need or want to perform. Even when you’re not engaged in activity, your back pain may be keeping you miserable 24/7. But don’t assume that drugs can provide more than temporary relief, or that surgery won’t create more problems than it solves.
Instead, go with the healthy, natural way to kiss your back pain goodbye — through physical therapy.
Chronic back pain refers to pain that lasts more than three months. It is a progressive pain that gradually worsens with time and basic daily activities. Furthermore, the specific cause of back pain may remain unknown. A person simply may not know what caused it or pinpoint a point of origin.
However, most people can recover from back pain by understanding its causes, especially those that do not derive from an incident, such as a car accident.
Chronic back pain may arise from two issues, including a sudden, traumatic injury or repetitive stress on the vertebrae. Pain includes sensations, such as a prick, burn, tingle, sting, sharp pain and aches. Acute pain is typically an expected bodily response to a severe injury.
However, the repeated use of joints after an inflammatory response may lead to the worsening of symptoms and disease progression, explains the NINDS.
In addition, those with poor posture, bulging or herniated discs, arthritis, skeletal irregularities and osteoporosis may suffer from chronic back pain more often than their peers, says the Mayo Clinic. Other facts, such as age, weight, poor lifting practices and even mental health conditions, may increase risk for back pain, and it only takes one injury for a condition to persist into the realm of long-term problems.
Instead of numbing yourself with drugs or risking major surgery, give physical therapy a chance to relieve your chronic back pain the safe, natural way. Our physical therapist will first take the time to examine your back, analyze your symptoms, evaluate your medical history, and talk to you about your pain management goals.
This information enables the physical therapist to devise a comprehensive physical therapy plan just for you. Here are some ways you can benefit from such a plan:

Back pain can be either acute or chronic in nature. Acute back pain often occurs as the direct result of torn muscles or other sudden, intense damage. But as agonizing as cute back pain may be, at least you have the comfort of knowing that your pain will probably subside as the injury heals.
Chronic back offers no such comfort. By definition, any kind of chronic pain lasts for more than 3 months, either attacking you in bouts or plaguing you with constant discomfort. The underlying cause is often progressive and/or irreversible.
Common causes of chronic back pain include:
Drugs can relieve chronic back pain, but only imperfectly. After a few hours of lessened symptoms, you have to take another dosage, and then another. If you’re using opioids to dull your pain, you can end up in a frightening cycle of increased tolerance and addiction.
The most extreme form of treatment, spinal surgery, can permanently limit your back’s flexibility. You might even end up with an even more painful problem known as failed back surgery syndrome.
You have the power to master your chronic pain, starting with the decision to treat yourself to physical therapy.
