Are You Suffering From Lower Back Pain In East Islip, NY?
Low back pain can range from mild, dull, annoying pain, to persistent, severe, disabling pain in the lower back. Pain in the lower back can restrict mobility and interfere with normal functioning. The exact cause of low back pain can be hard to determine. Back pain may be a symptom of many different causes, including overuse, strenuous activity or improper use, injury, joint problems, ligament or muscle tears. Low back pain can affect people of all ages and is one of the most common reasons for doctor visits and missed workdays.
What Are The Symptoms?
Low back pain is classified as acute and chronic. Acute low back pain lasts from a few days to a few weeks. Most acute low back pain will resolve on its own. Chronic low back pain lasts for more than three months and often gets worse. Chronic low back pain will not go away on its own, or by simply taking medications and injections. The most common symptoms of low back pain include persistent aching, burning, or stabbing sensations that may radiate into one or both buttocks or even into the thigh, hip, lower leg and foot.
Low back pain isn’t just about physical discomfort either; it can also lead to emotional distress, making individuals feel trapped in their own bodies. It can change how one lives, making motions, like bending, twisting or even standing for long periods incredibly painful. It can be common for people to feel frustrated, anxious or even depressed, believing that this discomfort will be with them for life – coupled with a decrease in opportunities to socialize.
For those who enjoy playing tennis, golf or spending time with their kids, this pain can make these activities nearly impossible.

What Is Our Approach To Treating Low Back Pain?
If you’ve been suffering from low back pain, you’ve likely tried various treatments such as alternative medicine, chiropractic care, acupuncture, or even physical therapy at other places. Many have also tried injections or medications, which may provide short-term relief but often fail to address the recurring nature of the pain. Common complaints from clients include persistent tightness, stiffness, sharp pain during movement, and difficulty with everyday activities like getting up from a chair, playing with grandchildren, or engaging in sports.
Many people experience these symptoms because the root cause of the problem has not been properly addressed. Often, previous treatments have only provided temporary relief without tackling the underlying issue. At PREP Physio, the approach is different. The focus is on one-on-one manual therapy sessions, where the therapist dedicates time to thoroughly evaluate and identify the root cause of the pain.
While pain is often felt in the lower back, the actual source might originate from another area. By spending ample time on the treatment table, the therapist works to improve areas that may not be functioning well. This process involves hands-on treatment to address the specific issues and retraining to help strengthen the body, ultimately enabling clients to return to the activities they love.
