Maybe you’ve noticed lower back pain after spending hours at your desk during those chilly winter months, or perhaps upper back pain has crept in after a weekend of yardwork or a long day exploring the Lake Michigan shoreline. No matter the cause, persistent back pain can make it hard to stay active and connected with friends and family. Our approach to physical therapy for back pain is rooted in understanding your unique situation, lifestyle, and goals—so you can move freely, comfortably, and confidently again.
