Back/neck pain is one of the most common causes of pain among adults. The majority of acute episodes of back/neck pain will resolve quickly and without persistent disability. Back/neck pain can recur frequently and become persistent. Physical therapy has proved to be an effective noninvasive option for management of acute spinal disorders and prevention of recurrence of spinal disorders.
Cleveland Clinic's spine physical therapy services include a comprehensive evaluation, assessment of functional ability, and individualized treatment sessions designed to offer multiple therapeutic options.
