Highly professional office! My physical therapy treatments helped a lot with my back problems related to a car accident. Staff is attentive and caring.

They helped me get over terrible back pain that had me afraid to pick up something as light as a bag of groceries. Steven's approach was personalized and straight forward. There are no magic bullets for recovering from an injury, but Wellness took the time to understand the nature of my specific injury and built a plan based around my needs.

As someone who’s had constant upper back and neck pain for almost 10 years, I can attest to the power of effective physical therapy. I went to Wellness Medical Center when it became clear that my pain was getting worse and no amount of massages would make a difference long term.

Reasons Why You May Have Back Pain

There are numerous reasons why you may be experiencing back pain, and seeing a physical therapist is the best way to find out for sure!

“Back pain”

Back pain is a very broad term that can be caused by different injuries or conditions. For example, you may be experiencing back pain due to having poor posture, a motor vehicle accident, or an injury sustained while lifting something heavy. The majority of the time, general back pain is brought on by an injury. This could be the result of repeated strains, such as picking up a toddler several times throughout the day, or a more serious, sudden trauma, such as a car accident.

Herniated discs

Herniated discs as well as other underlying conditions, can cause severe back pain and radiculopathy in your thigh, leg, or foot. A herniated disc can lead to sciatica and can be very uncomfortable.

Degenerative disc disease

Degenerative disc disease is also a common cause of back pain that occurs as we get older. Those living with this condition typically experience dull, aching pain in their lower back, as well as difficulty standing or walking for long periods of time.
