Do You Suffer With Sciatica or Back Pain? The Most Cost Effective Treatment is Physical Therapy

Suffering with sciatica or back pain can make life very difficult at times. Over 80% of people will suffer an episode of back pain at some point in their lifetime. Many experience chronic back or radiating leg pain that interferes with their ability to enjoy life fully. Do you find yourself watching how you bend down, stand up, or lift objects, because of potential pain? It’s time to have a physical therapist examine your back. A study in the medical journal SPINE shows that referrals by doctors to physical therapy early for the treatment of back pain, significantly improved results

and lowered costs. In the study, patients SAVED on average $2736.36 for their low back pain treatment, by having physical therapy treatment first. If you are suffering with back pain or sciatica, ask your doctor to send you to our expert physical therapists first, or give us a call to learn more how we can help you.

Patient Results

“I definitely feel stronger when I walk and move. I feel more confident in daily activities. I have been so restricted for so long that I amelated to becomeme again! The tight muscles are becoming far more flexible allowing more freedom of movement. My pain has decreased significantly in spite of sore muscles. Soreness and pain are two different things to me now. I think one of the greatest benefits is mental. I have had such a hard time with the last few months that I felt trapped and caged in my body. I am beginning to see a brighter future with the return of capability in my body. I really appreciate the friendly and competent people that have been helping me so much at Rise Rehab!” I am elated to become me again!
