Every day activities such as playing with your children, working or participating in a sport should not be disrupted by pain. Back and neck pain can be troublesome to any lifestyle. Being hindered by pain is not only frustrating physically, but emotionally as well. Just imagine how you felt before that pain. It is possible to get back to feeling that good again!

Physical Therapy is one of the most valuable forms of treatment in order to return to feeling normal and enjoying those everyday activities.

"I have seen many patients return to a normal life free of pain. Physical therapy not only relieves the pain, but a physical therapist will correct body mechanics so the condition does not return. Our physical therapists are dedicated to getting patients back to a normal, active lifestyle, whether that's biking, golfing or just being able to cook and clean pain free," said Mark Bengtson, MPT and owner of Pinnacle Physical Therapy.

Pain is not a normal! It is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. Many people accept that their pain is normal and will never go away, but they shouldn't. It is important to seek a solution to the problem. Patients suffering from back or neck pain need to consider physical therapy as the first line of treatment for their condition, according to Luke Madigan, MD, Attending Physician at the Knoxville Orthopedic Clinic.
