Living in Chicago means embracing all four seasons—whether it’s cheering on a summer festival, braving a brisk Lake Michigan wind, or digging out the car after a classic winter snowstorm.

At Athletico Physical Therapy – Lincoln Square, we understand how back pain can disrupt your routine and keep you from enjoying the vibrant life Chicago offers. That’s why our Back Pain Therapy is designed specifically to help you find relief, regain your mobility, and get back to the activities you love, no matter the season.

Understanding Back Pain in the Heart of Chicago

From shoveling snow in winter to lifting picnic supplies for a day at Montrose Beach, Chicagoans put their backs through a lot. Whether you’re facing lower back pain from long commutes or upper back pain after a week at your desk, you’re not alone.

We know that every Chicago neighborhood, from Lincoln Square to Logan Square, has its own pace and challenges. Our therapists take the time to listen, assess your movement, and create a plan that fits your daily routine—so you can get back to what matters most, whether that’s playing with your kids in Winnemac Park or simply carrying groceries without discomfort.
