Experts report that more than 80% of the population will seek medical help for low back or sciatic pain at some point in their lifespan. Often, we have aches and pains and just ignore them until something happens and it gets really bad. Click this link to take a quick self assessment to gain perspective on your current level of disability, see if you are at risk of permanent nerve damage and appropriate for physical therapy services.
On that assessment, the “Back Index Score” at the bottom right shows your percent of estimated disability. For example, if after completion of all 10 questions it shows a score of 40 then you are determined to be 40% disabled from proper enjoyment of life’s activities. If your score shows greater than a 30, you are definitely not enjoying all the things you should be able to in life and at risk of further downward progression. At BreakThrough, our physical therapists help many patients every day to correct this trend and we want to help you too! Furthermore, proper evaluation and physical therapy treatment helps prevent further intervention, expenses and time (multiple MD visits, imaging, medications, injections or even surgery). If you experience changes in bowel or bladder function, please contact your medical doctor immediately.
If you are experiencing acute or chronic low back pain and ready to make a positive change so you gain better enjoyment for life, call today and one of our Client Service Representatives will be happy to answer any other questions you might have and set you up for a thorough evaluation with one of our exceptional physical therapists.
