Physical Therapy For Back Pain
Back pain and sciatica can significantly impact your daily life, making simple tasks like walking, sitting or even sleeping difficult. At Advancing Movement with Physical Therapy (AMPT) in Houston, TX, we specialize in identifying the root causes of your discomfort and providing personalized, hands-on treatments to alleviate pain and restore function.
Our experienced clinicians are trained to treat pain without relying on medication or surgery. We take a comprehensive, whole-body approach to help you regain mobility, reduce inflammation and improve strength where it matters most.
Understanding Different Types Of Back Pain
Back pain can come from various structures including muscles, joints, discs and nerves. A precise diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. Common conditions we treat include:
- Lower back pain — Often caused by muscle strain, disc issues, arthritis or poor lifting mechanics.
- Mid back pain — Frequently related to poor posture, joint dysfunction or muscle tightness, especially along the spine.
- Upper back pain — Common in people with sedentary jobs or repetitive tasks, often tied to rounded shoulders or scapular weakness.
- Sciatica — Characterized by sharp, radiating pain from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg. Typically caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve.
Specific issues like upper right back pain or mid back pain on one side may indicate asymmetrical muscle use or underlying alignment problems.
How Physical Therapy Helps Back Pain And Sciatica
Physical therapy provides a safe, proven solution for back and nerve pain. At AMPT, our clinicians use hands-on care combined with targeted exercises to reduce pain and improve movement. Our approach includes:
- Manual therapy — Mobilizing joints and releasing muscle tightness to restore normal motion
- Corrective exercises — Strengthening core and postural muscles to prevent reinjury
- Postural training — Teaching better body mechanics to reduce daily strain
- Stretching routines — Improving flexibility in key muscle groups, especially hamstrings and hip flexors
- Education and self-care — Empowering you with tools to manage symptoms at home
We also address sciatica nerve pain using decompression techniques, gentle mobilizations and nerve glides to ease irritation and improve function.
