Back Pain Treatment

Back pain can stem from muscle strain, disc irritation, joint stiffness, or nerve compression, and it often affects how comfortably you sit, stand, or move through the day. At Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center of Brooklyn, our Back Pain Treatment service is built around identifying what is driving your discomfort and applying targeted therapy to help you move with less pain.

How We Approach Back Pain

Manual Therapy — hands-on techniques to ease muscle tension and improve joint mobility in the spine.
Exercise Therapy — guided strengthening and stretching to support the spine and reduce strain on painful areas.
Posture Training — adjustments to daily positioning habits that can contribute to ongoing back stress.

Supportive Equipment We Use

Spinal Decompression — the DRX9000 system gently relieves pressure on compressed discs and nerves for appropriate cases.
Traction Tables — motorized stretching of the spine to ease pressure in the neck and back.
Electrical Stimulation Units — gentle current used to calm pain signals and support weakened muscles.
Heat Packs and Cold Packs — applied before or after treatment to relax tight muscles or reduce swelling.

When to Seek Care

Back pain that limits daily activity, follows an injury, or lingers beyond a few days is worth discussing with our team. Treatment plans are shaped around your specific symptoms and functional goals, using the tools and techniques described above as clinically appropriate.
