Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, but it doesn't have to control your life. Whether it's a dull ache, sharp stabbing pain, or radiating discomfort down your leg, expert physical therapy can identify the root cause and get you moving again without drugs or surgery.
Back pain can stem from many sources: muscle strains, herniated or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, or poor posture habits accumulated over years. Identifying the true source is the first and most important step in treatment.
Physical therapy addresses back pain by reducing inflammation, restoring mobility, strengthening the muscles that support the spine, and correcting movement patterns that perpetuate the problem. At Tabares PT, we use hands-on manual therapy, targeted exercise prescription, and posture re-education to tackle pain at its source — not just mask it.
As a fellowship-trained physical therapist, Dr. Tabares uses an evidence-based, whole-body approach. Every session is one-on-one, conducted at your home, gym, or workplace, and built around your specific goals — whether that means returning to the gym, playing with your kids, or simply getting through the day pain-free.
Most patients experience meaningful improvement within 4–8 sessions. We start with a thorough movement assessment, identify contributing factors, and progress your program at a pace that challenges you without aggravating symptoms. You'll also receive a home exercise program so progress continues between sessions.
