Just a warning makes sure they know exactly what is wrong with your back before they start therapy. This fall i had a freak accident where the disk inbetween 2 of my vertabrae in my lower back slipped. When they MRIed it all they saw was a blob and sent me off to PT to help get over a slipped disk. Well the pain go worse, and worse and when I went back in for another MRI it showed one of my vertabrae in my lower back touching the other. I feel this when I reff if I make a quick turn around my entire rightleg goes numb from the damage that the slippage cause the nerve.
