Low back pain recovery.
A wide range of treatment is available for treating low back pain, depending on what is causing the pain and how long it lasts. Finding the imbalance, treating to correct imbalance, and instruction on proper movement patterns in a safe, proactive way are paramount to our success at Physical Therapy and Wellness (PTW) Institute. Most people find that their low back pain improves within a few weeks, Chances are good that the pain will go away soon with some basic self-care. At PTW, 121 new patients in 2008 with a diagnosis of acute low back pain initiated a program with our therapists at any one of our three sites; 33% were discharged completely rehabilitated, with 63% discharged improved. Overall, the patient satisfaction with this group was nearly 99%. This indicates to our staff that although we may not get patients completely restored in the short period of time they are with us, we interact well enough to exceed their expectations, improving our reputation in our community.
