Common Back Injuries & Conditions

Back pain can stem from a variety of conditions that can limit mobility and affect your daily life. Understanding these common issues can help guide you toward the most effective treatment. At Determination Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating the following back conditions:

Herniated Discs

A herniated disc can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in your back and legs. Our therapy programs aim to reduce pain and strengthen the muscles surrounding the spine.

Sciatica

Compression of the sciatic nerve can cause pain, tingling, or numbness along the back, buttocks, and legs. Physical therapy can help alleviate symptoms and restore function in cases of sciatica.

Spondylolisthesis

When a vertebra slips out of place, it can cause pain and instability. Treatment aims to realign the spine and restore function.

Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain in Forest Hills is one of the most common reasons patients visit our clinic. It often develops from muscle strain, posture issues, or disc problems. Our physical therapy programs reduce pain, restore mobility, and strengthen your core to prevent future flare-ups.

Overuse or injury to the muscles and ligaments in the back can cause pain and stiffness. Therapy helps relieve muscle tension and strengthen the back.
