Physical Therapy Services for Low Back Pain at Flow Physical Therapy and Wellness in Lafayette, LA
Specialized orthopedic / osteopractic physical therapy utilizing a collaborative and whole-body approach so you can have lasting results.
Are you suddenly having difficulty walking long distances because of back pain? Trouble with lifting a case of water or even just sitting down because of pain?
​
Maybe the pain began as mild and now includes hip pain or even sudden numbness or tingling down the leg?
​
You are not alone, low back pain is an epidemic in this country and accounts for a large percentage of medication prescriptions, imaging studies, and disability.
​
And because of the intricacies of the vertebras, discs of the spine, low back muscles, and associated nerves, this results in a variety of presentations of back pain and the reason that such a common diagnosis may not be "fixed" or "cured" with generic exercises and tips.
​
At Flow Physical Therapy and Wellness, we take an in-depth look at your low back pain to determine the true source of the pain and start the road to pain relief. This in-depth look at your low back pain will allow us to design a custom treatment plan for your unique symptoms. This is because, if the source of your pain is an injured disc or an inflamed joint, your treatment plan will be considerably different.
​
Some, but not all, of the low back conditions routinely treated are muscle strains, ligament sprains, disc bulges/herniations, spondylolisthesis, sciatica, radiculopathy, and more.
"I saw Dr. Patrick for knee pain. He spent an hour with me at each session, which I thought was awesome since I've been to other therapy places where I never really got to spend time with them. I felt much better after each session and now I'm back to going to the gym without any pain. I definitely recommend Dr. Patrick to be your physical therapist.'" - Zachary
What makes FLOW different
One on One care with your provider
Every session will be one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy to ensure that you always get the highest quality of care. Your provider will never split their attention between you and another patient and you won't get passed off to aids or techs.
​
This allows for streamlined communication, quicker results, and constant reassessment and corrections.
Personalized Care and Treatment Plan
A "one size fits all" approach actually fits no one when it comes to physical therapy. This is why we offer personalized care plans that are tailored to you, your lifestyle, your availability for exercise, and beyond.
One person's treatment will never be the same as another's and we are always ready to pivot and adjust as needs arise to keep you on track to accomplish your goals.
Communication between your visits
We know that it can be extremely frustrating to feel like you can't have your question answered until the next time you see a provider.
​
When you work with us, you'll be able to send us questions (and celebrate your wins!) between sessions. You never have to wait until your next session to get in touch with us.
Price transparency, always
You'll never get an extra bill from us months later after you wrap up treatment with us. You will know what each session costs up front and an estimate of how many sessions you will need overall. We know that this is different than most other clinics and the healthcare system in general.
​
Price transparency is not only a promise, it's our standard.
