LOW BACK PAIN PATIENT
“On different occasions, I’ve pulled my back out doing yard work and outdoor projects. I got excruciating pain across my entire lower back, to the point I could not even stand up straight to walk. The wonderful staff at Physical Therapy Associates is always so accommodating and gets me right in to be seen. By the end of my treatment with Renee Lenceski, DPT, I walked out of there, standing straight and PAIN-FREE! I call Renee “my little miracle worker”!! It’s absolutely amazing how effective physical therapy is for back pain! Now I am all set for snowmobile season!” -Lou
