Are You Tired of Living with Lower Back Pain?
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physical therapy, especially in active and aging populations. Whether it stems from sitting too long at a desk, overuse, sports injuries, or postural imbalances, the discomfort can be debilitating. At Skillz Physical Therapy in Evanston, we specialize in helping people just like you reclaim a pain-free, active lifestyle.
What Causes Lower Back Pain?
Many of our Evanston clients are surprised to learn that back pain can be caused by:
- Poor posture and ergonomics
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica or nerve irritation
- Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
- Weak core and glute muscles
- Chronic overuse or underuse of muscles
Knowing the root cause is key to targeting the right treatment—and that’s where our personalized evaluations come in. Every patient is different, and what works for one person may not be effective for another. Our detailed assessments help us identify the underlying cause of your pain, so we can match you with the most appropriate treatment techniques and modalities for your unique needs.
