Care for persistent symptoms
Pain is complex. Your care should be personal.
Chronic pain can change how you move, sleep, work, and enjoy daily life. We look beyond the painful area to understand the factors influencing your symptoms and function.
Chronic Neck & Back Pain
Improve comfort and confidence with care that addresses mobility, strength, posture tolerance, and the activities that matter to you.
- Persistent neck stiffness
- Recurring low back pain
- Pain with sitting or standing
- Flare-ups during activity
Sciatica-Like & Extremity Pain
Evaluate symptoms that travel into an arm or leg—including aching, burning, tingling, or sensitivity—and build a safe, progressive movement plan.
- Buttock and leg pain
- Arm or hand symptoms
- Tingling or burning pain
- Movement-related nerve sensitivity

Common questions
Chronic pain physical therapy FAQs
Symptoms can feel confusing or unpredictable. An evaluation can help identify a safe place to begin.
Can physical therapy help with pain I have had for months or years?+
Physical therapy may help improve movement, strength, activity tolerance, and confidence even when symptoms have been present for a long time. Results vary, and your therapist will recommend care based on your evaluation and goals.
Do you treat sciatica and pain that travels into an arm or leg?+
Yes. We evaluate many types of radiating or extremity symptoms, including aching, burning, tingling, and movement-related sensitivity. Because these symptoms can have different causes, a thorough assessment is important.
Will exercise make my chronic pain worse?+
Your program should begin at a level you can tolerate and progress gradually. Some temporary symptom response can occur, but your therapist will help you understand what is expected and when the plan should be adjusted.
Do I need imaging before starting physical therapy?+
Not everyone needs imaging before an evaluation. Your therapist will review your history, screen for concerns, and recommend medical follow-up when appropriate. Referral requirements can also vary by insurance plan.
