Low Back Pain Management

Low Back Pain (LBP) will affect between 60-80% of the population. Because recurrence of acute episodes may lead to chronic disabling Low Back Pain, physical therapists at ProRehab have devoted time and resources toward understanding the factors related to recurrence.

Our therapists have closely followed a new line of research and treatment using ultrasound imaging to assess deep-local lumbar muscles. The intervention in this study utilized real-time ultrasound imaging to assess the activation and girth of the “Local Lumbar” muscles as well as to provide patient biofeedback during training sessions to confirm adequate muscle activation.

We are now offering this service to our patients as part of our comprehensive LBP management program.
