Physical Therapy and Low Back Pain

PT is a cost-effective alternative for treating low back pain.

For Medicare patients who received physical therapy treatment first before any other treatment type, total healthcare spending was 19% lower than patients who received injections first and 75% lower than patients who underwent surgery first. Costs for patients who received physical therapy within 15 days of initial diagnosis were 27% lower than patients who received physical therapy 45-90 days after diagnosis. Getting to physical therapy first and quickly after injury will help save time and money with recovery. Medicare beneficiaries and some PPO insurances have direct access to physical therapy. If you have been dealing with low back pain, you do not have to wait to see a physician in order to get referred to a physical therapist. Your therapist will come up with an individualized treatment plan specific to your needs and get you back to your desired activities.
