Chicago is a city that never slows down, whether you’re braving chilly winter sidewalks, exploring the lakefront on a sunny summer afternoon, or simply keeping up with the daily hustle of city life. But if you’re living with back pain—whether it’s a nagging ache after shoveling snow, stiffness from long commutes on the L, or discomfort from weekend pickup basketball at the park—those everyday joys can quickly become challenges. At Athletico Physical Therapy – Union League Club, we understand how lower back pain or upper back pain can hold you back from enjoying everything our vibrant city has to offer. That’s why we offer personalized Back Pain Therapy, designed to help you move freely and confidently through every season in Chicago.

Understanding Back Pain in the Windy City

Back pain is one of the most common reasons Chicagoans seek physical therapy. The demands of city living—long walks, carrying groceries up apartment stairs, or even hours at a desk—can take a toll on your spine. Add our famously unpredictable weather, and it’s no wonder many people experience flare-ups, especially during cold snaps or after a sudden burst of activity. Physical therapy for back pain isn’t just about managing discomfort; it’s about helping you reclaim your active lifestyle, whether that means catching a game at Wrigley, biking along the Lakefront Trail, or simply enjoying a pain-free day at work.
