Low Back Pain Physical Therapy for Females
After being diagnosed with lower back pain, many doctors will recommend physical therapy as the initial mode of treatment. Physical therapy can help to improve flexibility, reduce inflammation and swelling, and ease muscle spasms.
For female patients, in particular, there are a few key ways that physical therapy can help to reduce lower back pain.
First, many women experience lower back pain during pregnancy due to the added weight and strain on the lower back. It may have an accumulative effect and cause severe pain. As a result, some women can’t continue their everyday routines anymore. Physical therapy can help to improve flexibility and reduce the amount of stress on the lower back.
