Whether you’re shoveling snow in the winter, biking the lakefront in summer, or simply carrying groceries up your apartment stairs, your back goes through a lot.

At Athletico Physical Therapy – Streeterville North, we understand how important it is for you to stay mobile and pain-free, which is why Back Pain Therapy is one of our core services.

Understanding Back Pain in the Heart of Chicago

Chicago’s ever-changing weather, the demands of urban living, and long stretches spent at a desk or on public transit can all contribute to lower back pain and upper back pain. Maybe you’ve noticed discomfort after a particularly windy day walking to work, or your back feels tight after cheering on the Bears from the stands. No matter the cause, back pain can keep you from enjoying the city you love.

Physical therapy for back pain is designed to help you get back to your favorite Chicago activities—whether that means joining a neighborhood softball league, exploring the Art Institute, or simply enjoying a stroll down Michigan Avenue without discomfort.
