Who We Help
Back Pain
No referral needed
You don’t need a doctor’s referral to start physical therapy in North Dakota.
Almost everyone gets it. That does not make it normal.
Back pain is the most common reason people see a physical therapist, and it is also the one most often treated as a single thing. It is not. What is loading the spine, what is not sharing that load, and what your week actually asks of you all matter.
There’s no reason to let pain, weakness, stiffness, or any other ailment keep you from staying active. Connect Physical Therapy will help you figure out what’s causing your problem and provide personal care to help you get moving again without difficulty.
Treatment addresses the factors contributing to your pain rather than only the area that hurts — and builds strength, mobility and confidence for lasting progress.
Symptoms
Does this sound familiar?
Draft descriptions of everyday experience, not diagnostic criteria. Requires clinical review.
Worse first thing, easing after you move
Worse after sitting, better standing — or the reverse
Pain that travels into the hip or down the leg
Bending to the floor has become a calculation
A flare-up every few months you now expect
You have stopped lifting things you used to lift
What the first visit looks like
Alison listens first
What started it, what makes it worse, and what you have stopped doing because of it.
A movement assessment
Not only where it hurts. How you load it and what is compensating.
A plan you leave with
Hands-on treatment and specific exercises, not a follow-up appointment and nothing else.
