Back and spine
We exam first. Always.
Before we call it disc, facet, SI, or sciatica, we put hands on it and move you through it. Then we build the plan.
Back pain is the most common reason patients visit Physio+ in Lindale and Tyler. Most cases are mechanical, not structural, and respond to a combination of movement, manual therapy, and load management inside four to six weeks without surgery, injections, or long term medication.
Back pain describes any pain in the lumbar or thoracic region. The vast majority of cases we see at Physio+ are mechanical. Muscle, joint, or disc tissue that is working in a pattern the body cannot sustain. True red flag back pain is rare, and we screen for it every intake.
A Physio+ back pain evaluation takes sixty minutes. We screen for red flags, map the movement pattern driving the pain, and start treatment the same visit. Most patients leave with a plan, two to three exercises, and a clear timeline.
