Physical Therapy for Back Pain: Expert Care by Dr. Ranmit Singh in NYC
Back pain is a widespread issue in NYC, affecting people from all walks of life, whether it’s athletes, professionals, or older adults. At Physical Therapy Upper West Side, we understand how disruptive back pain can be. With over 10 years of experience, Dr. Ranmit Singh, a NY State Licensed Physical Therapist, brings trusted and personalized care to each patient, targeting the specific root causes of their pain.
Why Choose Physical Therapy for Back Pain?
Dr. Singh has spent years treating NYC residents, helping them achieve relief from back pain through individualized treatment plans. Unlike temporary solutions like medications, physical therapy addresses the underlying causes of pain. This proactive approach not only alleviates symptoms but also reduces the chances of re-injury.
If you’re struggling with back pain, it’s crucial to work with an experienced professional. Dr. Singh has provided hands-on care for a wide range of cases, including athletes recovering from sports injuries and individuals with chronic pain or neurological conditions. His approach combines evidence-based techniques with personalized treatment plans designed to match each patient’s unique needs. And with most major insurance plans accepted, our practice aims to make high-quality care accessible to as many NYC residents as possible.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can stem from various issues, including:
- Muscle Strain: Caused by lifting, awkward movements, or poor posture.
- Disc Issues: Herniated or bulging discs can put pressure on nerves, resulting in pain.
- Arthritis: Often seen in older adults, spinal arthritis leads to stiffness and discomfort.
- Sciatica: This occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, causing pain that radiates down the leg.
Proven Techniques for Lasting Back Pain Relief
Our clinic offers a range of therapies backed by scientific research and Dr. Singh’s extensive experience. Here’s what you can expect in your back pain treatment:
Therapeutic Exercises
- Strengthening and Flexibility: Customized exercises build strength in the core and back, improving your body’s support for the spine.
- Posture and Mobility: Targeted movements correct posture and increase flexibility, which can prevent further strain and pain.
Patients receive exercise plans that can be performed both in the clinic and at home. Consistency in these exercises is key to reducing pain and regaining movement over time.Manual Therapy
Dr. Singh uses a range of manual therapy techniques to relieve tension, improve circulation, and help your body heal:
- Joint Mobilization: To enhance range of motion in the spine and surrounding joints.
- Soft Tissue Mobilization: To release muscle tension and reduce inflammation.
With hands-on treatment, patients can experience immediate relief, which also helps them move more comfortably during exercise.
Posture Correction and Ergonomics Education
Poor posture is a common cause of back pain, particularly for those who spend long hours sitting. Dr. Singh provides practical advice and ergonomic recommendations to reduce strain on your spine. Learning how to maintain good posture can be a long-term solution for managing and preventing pain.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release targets areas of tightness in the fascia, or connective tissue. This technique is effective for individuals with chronic pain or muscle tension, allowing for greater flexibility and comfort as they progress through therapy.
Dry Needling
For patients with severe muscle tension or “knots,” dry needling can provide relief by releasing tight muscles and reducing pain. Dr. Singh is trained in this advanced technique, which is particularly helpful for those dealing with persistent or severe back pain.
Body Mechanics Education
Dr. Singh works closely with patients to improve their everyday movements, teaching body mechanics that protect the back. From lifting techniques to safe bending and twisting, understanding how to move properly is crucial for preventing re-injury.
