Low back pain affects 80% of adults at some point in their lives, making it the number one cause of disability worldwide. If you’re in Oklahoma City and dealing with low back pain, you don’t have to live with it. Physical therapy at Kinito Physical Therapy offers proven, non-surgical solutions including manual therapy, targeted exercises, trigger point release, and comprehensive rehabilitation programs tailored to your specific condition.
Understanding Your Low Back Pain
Low back pain has many potential causes — muscle strains, disc herniations, facet joint dysfunction, spinal stenosis, sacroiliac joint problems, and more. The first step in effective treatment is accurate diagnosis. Your physical therapist will conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the source of your pain and the factors that are perpetuating it.
Our Treatment Approach
Manual Therapy
Joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, and myofascial release provide immediate pain relief while restoring normal mechanics. For many patients, manual therapy combined with specific exercises is more effective than medication for both acute and chronic low back pain.
Trigger Point Release
Myofascial trigger points in the low back, gluteal, and hip muscles are common pain generators that can mimic disc problems and sciatica. Dry needling and manual trigger point release deactivate these painful spots, often providing dramatic relief.
Core Stabilization
The deep core muscles — including the transversus abdominis, multifidus, pelvic floor, and diaphragm — form a natural corset that stabilizes your spine. When these muscles are weak or poorly coordinated, the spine is vulnerable to injury. Progressive core training rebuilds this stabilizing system from the inside out.
Movement Education
Learning to move with proper mechanics — bending, lifting, sitting, and standing — reduces stress on your spine during daily activities. Your therapist will identify the specific movements and positions that aggravate your pain and teach you modifications that protect your back.
Most low back pain resolves completely with the right treatment — the key is getting an accurate diagnosis and following a targeted rehabilitation plan.
