Lower Back Pain

About 80% of people in Western countries will have lower back pain at some point, and at any given time roughly a quarter of Americans have had it in the last three months. Here is how we treat it.

Why it comes back

Pain shuts the core down, and it does not switch back on by itself

The most expensive ailment in medicine

Lower back pain costs up to $72 billion a year in the U.S. once you count compensation and lost work time.

Your core goes quiet

Research shows the muscles that stabilize and protect the lower back shut down in response to pain and injury. When the pain stops, that strength does not come back automatically.

PT restores it

Research also shows physical therapy can restore core strength and get you back to normal daily activities.

A graded evaluation

Your Premier therapist performs an in-depth evaluation using a research and clinically graded system specific to your diagnosis, so your goals are functional and yours.

Treatment matched to findings

Manual therapy, core retraining, aquatic therapy, dry needling, and a home program, chosen from what the evaluation shows.

Sciatica too

Radiating leg pain and sciatic nerve pain respond to the same approach. Several of the stories below started there.

My PT Story

Patients who came in with a bad back

Natalie Hodges

After suffering an injury that included a herniated disc and a bulge in my lower back, I locked up and had to retrain my body to do almost everything. When I came to Premier, they saved my life. They helped me retrain from the ground up, restrengthen and rebuild my confidence.

Darlene McBee

I have had 4 back surgeries. Allison Sims had me doing simple exercises which alleviated my pain to almost non-existent. I did water therapy twice weekly and land therapy once weekly. My back is doing great.

Jeffery Frame

When I came here, I could barely stand the pain I was in, but after weeks of PT, I have no pain at all. I couldn’t sit, lay down or stand for long. I would definitely refer Premier Rehab to anyone.

Jessy Thomas

Dustin and the other therapists helped me get better from 15% to 90% improvement. I am able to sit, walk and do my activities so much better than before. I had a customized approach to my care.

James Adair

I came in not even able to tie my shoes and pretty much left pain free and much more flexible. I am a 60 year old former marine with my first back injury. Thanks for everything.

Susan Downing

PT at Premier has helped me with my low back pain and sciatic nerve pain by showing me simple exercises that have increased my flexibility. Now I have only occasional muscle spasms.
