A physical therapist with training in musculoskeletal diagnosis and treatment may be helpful with:
- Identifying specific muscle or disc problems.
- Customizing an exercise program for recovery and long-term prevention.
- Teaching you how to lift properly to avoid reinjuring or aggravating your back.
