Physical Therapy for Low Back Pain in Denver
For Denver patients, low back pain is one of the most common reasons to see a physical therapist. Most low back pain improves with the right movement, not bed rest. We pinpoint what's driving your pain and build a hands-on, evidence-based plan to get you back to life. Medicaid accepted; no referral needed to start in Colorado.*
Common causes we treat
- Muscle or ligament strain from lifting or sudden movement
- Disc irritation or herniation
- Poor posture and prolonged sitting
- Arthritis or age-related changes
- Injury from an auto accident or fall
Your treatment plan
Your plan typically combines manual therapy to restore motion, targeted strengthening for the core and hips, and education on movement and posture. Dry needling and spinal decompression are added when they fit.
What to expect
After a thorough evaluation, we treat the source of the pain rather than chasing the symptom, then progress you toward the activities you want to return to.
Convenient for Denver
We see patients from across west and southwest Denver, a short drive east on Yale or Mississippi from our Lakewood clinic. Patients from Harvey Park, Bear Valley, Mar Lee, Athmar Park reach us easily, and we accept Medicaid and most major plans.
