Physical Therapy

Are you in pain? We can help!

Committed to client health.

Physical Therapy is the process of restoring and then maintaining your body’s flexibility, strength, coordination and balance. It is a safe and effective way to improve the body’s function and overall health.

At the American Back Center we take a unique approach to this process: we first deal with pain, and then we deal with function.

Unfortunately, it’s been common to hear patients describe past Physical Therapy experiences that have been negative. Patients tell us that ‘the therapy hurt me even more’, or that the ‘therapy made me worse’. What we’ve learned from these stories is that the therapist tried to move the person into strength exercises far too soon, before adequately dealing with pain.

Only once someone’s out of pain can they then start safely building strength, coordination, and overall function.

While the process to deal with pain can be accomplished in many different ways, we most often utilize the McKenzie Method – which is the quickest and most effective way to get someone out of pain. The method attempts to find one single exercise – that is then done over and over at home – that eliminates pain. Despite the office name, it can be used on any body part. Often patients feel a significant decrease in pain within days, and this is because the exercise can be done over and over at home. Once the person’s out of pain, then the re-building process can begin.

We treat:

• Back & neck pain
• Shoulder, elbow and wrist pain
• Hip, knee and ankle pain
• Chronic & acute pain
• Work and accident related injuries
• Pregnancy related spinal pain
• Sports injuries

Downtown Chicago Physical Therapy Clinic

NEW PATIENT SPECIAL!

American Back Center did a full review of my case, consulted me on exactly what their strategic plan would be to recover fully and effectively, and empowered me to do my own stretching/strengthening routine on my own at home.

Michael Stumpf

In just that short time, I experienced a huge improvement. They give me tons of exercises to do at home. At this point, it seems that my laziness will be the only reason I’ll experience back pain again.

Physical Therapy

The primary focus of physical therapy is to restore, enhance or preserve movement and physical function. The vast majority of patients undergoing physical therapy have considerable trouble functioning on a physical level. A person’s ability to move and perform even simple tasks can be greatly impaired by injury, disease or disability.

When you come to the American Back Center for help, we will not only alleviate your pain and improve function and performance, but we’ll also get at the root of the problem so that your symptoms don’t return.

The approach we take with all our patients is comprehensive. Our highly qualified and experienced team of physical therapists will structure a treatment program specific to your needs, to help regain function and truly start feeling better.

While at our clinic, you will have access to a wide range of services including therapeutic exercise, strengthening programs, and physical modalities (e.g., massage and electrotherapy), and patient education and training.

As part of our holistic approach to healthcare, your individualized treatment plan may also include chiropractic, VAX-D, acupuncture and nutrition goals to facilitate healing and help speed along recovery.
