Get Back to Moving Without Back Pain

Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physical therapy. Whether your symptoms started suddenly after lifting something heavy or have gradually developed over time, back pain can interfere with work, exercise, sleep, and everyday activities.

At Kickstart Physical Therapy, we help individuals identify the root causes of their symptoms and develop a personalized plan to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function.

Understanding Low Back Pain

Low back pain can occur for many different reasons, including:

  • Muscle strains
  • Joint dysfunction
  • Disc-related problems
  • Nerve irritation
  • Arthritis
  • Poor movement patterns
  • Repetitive stress
  • Deconditioning
  • Postural issues

Because every individual is different, a thorough evaluation is essential to determine the factors contributing to your symptoms.

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to pain, numbness, tingling, or other symptoms that travel along the path of the sciatic nerve, often extending into the buttock, thigh, calf, or foot.

Sciatica is a symptom rather than a diagnosis and may result from several different underlying causes.

Common Symptoms

  • Low back pain
  • Pain radiating into the leg
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Muscle weakness
  • Difficulty standing or walking
  • Stiffness
  • Pain when sitting for prolonged periods

How Physical Therapy Can Help

Your treatment plan may include:

  • Manual therapy
  • Myofascial Release
  • Mobility exercises
  • Core stabilization training
  • Strengthening exercises
  • Postural education
  • Movement retraining
  • Home exercise programs

Our goal is not only to reduce pain but also to help prevent future episodes and improve long-term function.
