Life in Chicago, IL, is full of energy, from brisk morning walks along the lakefront to bustling commutes and weekend outings in the city’s vibrant neighborhoods.

At Athletico Physical Therapy – North Loop, we understand how much you value staying active and connected in our city. That’s why our Back Pain Therapy is designed to help you move freely, feel stronger, and get back to enjoying everything Chicago has to offer, no matter the season.

Understanding Back Pain: More Than Just an Ache

Back pain comes in many forms. You might notice a dull stiffness in the morning, a sharp pain when reaching for something on a high shelf, or discomfort that lingers after a weekend soccer game or carrying groceries up your apartment stairs. Whether you’re dealing with lower back pain, upper back pain, or feeling limited by tightness and soreness, it’s easy to feel frustrated and wonder when you’ll feel like yourself again.

Physical therapy for back pain is about more than just symptom relief—it’s about helping you understand the “why” behind your pain and building a long-term plan for improvement. Our therapists specialize in evidence-based techniques that address the root causes of your discomfort, so you can move forward with confidence, not just short-term fixes.
