Back pain is not restricted to particular age groups or a specific gender. What this means then, is that we have all had issues with back pain at some juncture in our lifetime. People’s back pains are caused by a number of factors. Fortunately however, there are also a number of available ways in which to treat all types of back pains that are caused by these several different factors.

The aim of physical therapy is to lessen back pains, improve on functioning, as well as to educate the patient as to how to maintain the exercises they need to do at home as well as to avoid back issues in the future.

If you are having lower back pains that have been lingering from between 2 and 6 weeks, or if you have been having lower back pains that keep coming back over and over again, then this is a good reason for you to visit your physical therapist. Some physical therapists may recommend that you come and see them earlier however; specifically if the pain is chronic and unbearable as there may be underlying issues that need to be addressed immediately.

Physical therapy comes in various forms or modalities. These modalities are inclusive of TENS units, Iontophoresis, heat/ice packs and ultrasound. There is also active physical therapy that includes back pain exercises. These are all used to recuperate the spine. A back exercise program usually comprises of back-strengthening exercises, stretching exercises, as well as low-impact aerobic conditioning.

These exercises can be done even by people that are always on the go. Many physical therapists give their clients home work which usually involves these exercises at certain time during their day. This helps them to heal faster, and get back to their regular activities in a shorter period of time. In addition, they go a far way in lessening your back pain. It is usually advisable that these exercises be done at the same time each day so as to get the body regularized and accustomed to them.

In order to strengthen your back to rid yourself of your back pain, a physiatrist uses exercises that should be done for between fifteen and twenty minutes. The exercises usually include active lumbar stabilization, among other appropriate exercises. Your low-impact aerobics which include swimming, walking and cycling should be undertaken 3 times per week for anywhere between thirty and forty minutes. They should be done on the days following the strengthening exercises; never on the same day.
