Physical Therapy for Lower Back Pain
in Arlington, VA
You’re not alone. Lower back pain is the most common reason people seek physical therapy, but recovery is not only possible, it’s often faster with the right care. Research including a landmark review by Brinjikji et al. (2015), shows that common MRI findings like disc bulges and degeneration are often present in people without pain. This reminds us that a “bad scan” doesn’t necessarily mean a bad outcome—what truly matters is how you move, how you feel, and how we work together to restore your quality of life.
Recent clinical trials on Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT)—like O’Sullivan et al., 2023 highlight how a personalized, patient-centered approach focused on education, movement confidence, and lifestyle change leads to better outcomes- in my physical therapy practice, I offer individualized care built around your goals. With expert guidance and a care plan tailored to you, you can overcome pain and build a stronger, more resilient future.
