Why Back Pain Happens—And How We Can Help

Back pain is one of the most common reasons Chicagoans seek physical therapy. Whether you’re dealing with lower back pain from shoveling snow or upper back pain after a long day at your desk in the Loop, these aches can quickly disrupt your routine. Our approach to physical therapy for back pain is rooted in understanding your unique situation—taking into account your daily habits, your favorite activities, and even the city’s ever-changing weather.

We know that back pain can show up in many ways: a sudden sharp pain when you lift a heavy bag, ongoing stiffness that makes it tough to get out of bed, or that nagging discomfort after a weekend pickup game at the park.
