Physical Therapy for

Low Back Pain

Low back pain is the most common reason people see a physical therapist — and one of the most treatable. After 20+ years and 50,000+ treatments, I've seen nearly every presentation of back pain there is. Most people get better without surgery or long-term medication.

What's Causing Your Back Pain?

Low back pain is not a diagnosis — it's a symptom. The cause matters enormously, because the treatment is different for each. Common causes include:

  • Disc herniation or bulge pressing on a nerve
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Facet joint arthritis or irritation
  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
  • Muscle strain or ligament sprain
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
  • Piriformis syndrome mimicking sciatica
  • Poor movement patterns and muscle imbalances

You See Eddie. Every Visit.

At most PT clinics, you'll see a different therapist — or a tech — at every visit. Here, every session is one-on-one with me, Eddie Maynor, PT.

That consistency matters for back pain. I track exactly how you're responding, adjust treatment in real time, and build on what worked last session. No starting over. No re-explaining your history.
