WHEN SHOULD YOU SEE A PHYSIOTHERAPIST OR ANOTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDER.

Back pain may go away on its own but if the pain does not get better you may want to go and see a physiotherapist or another healthcare provider.

Physiotherapists are very good at treating low back pain and it is always the first treatment option to try and prevent surgery. The sooner you get to a physio the better. Your physiotherapist will first do a subjective evaluation to determine what the onset and severity of your pain are.

Thereafter a series of tests will help show where the problem is. Treatment like massage, fascia release, joint mobilization, dry needling, and exercises are just some of the very effective techniques we use to relieve back pain.
