Low Back Pain? See a Physical Therapist 1st

New Guidelines from the American College of Physicians call for a selective approach to Low Back Pain Imaging.  The report in the Annals of Internal Medicine suggest that diagnostic imaging (X-Rays, MRI's, CT scans) is indicated for patients with low back pain only if they have severe progressive neurologic deficits or signs or symptoms that suggest a serious or specific underlying condition. In other patients, evidence indicates that routine imaging is not associated with clinically meaningful benefits but can lead to harms, through radiation exposure and unnecessary tests and invasive procedures.

Physical Therapy and Myofascial Release for Low Back Pain are proven treatments to help you feel less pain, move better and return to the activities you enjoy.  I have a video showing some simple and highly effective exercises and yoga for low back pain.  If these do not help you completely resolve your issues, please see a physical therapist first.  In 46 states you can see a physical therapist with out a referral or prescription from a physician.  If you are looking for Physical Therapy in Greensboro please give us a call or visit our website www.LeBauerPT.com
