Physical therapy for low back pain, sciatica, and disc injuries in Burlington, NC
Low back pain affects nearly everyone at some point, and it is the leading cause of disability worldwide. The good news: the vast majority of back pain responds very well to the right movement, hands-on treatment, and education — without imaging, injections, or surgery. Our physical therapist will help you understand your back pain, calm it down, and build the strength and confidence to keep it from coming back.
Common conditions we treat
- Acute low back strains and flare-ups
- Chronic or recurring low back pain
- Sciatica and lumbar radiculopathy (pain, numbness, or tingling down the leg)
- Disc bulges and herniations
- Spinal stenosis and arthritis-related back pain
- Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain
- Back pain with golf, lifting, or running
How we help
- A thorough one-hour evaluation to find the true source of your pain — not just where it hurts
- Hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, cupping, and soft-tissue work to reduce pain and restore motion
- Individualized strength and mobility programming you can do at home or in the gym (delivered through the Physitrack app)
- Education on posture, movement habits, and activity modification so you stay better once you are better
- Clear return-to-sport, return-to-work, and return-to-golf progressions
What to expect
We spend a full hour with you at your first visit — listening to your story, examining how your spine, hips, and core move, and starting treatment that same day. Many patients notice a change in the first session. You will leave knowing which movements to use for relief, which to modify for now, and exactly what our plan looks like.
