Lower Back and Sciatica Pain

At Sport & Spine Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating lower back pain and sciatica, two of the most common reasons people seek medical attention. Back pain ranks among the top complaints, affecting individuals of all ages and activity levels. Whether it’s caused by poor posture, injury, or wear and tear, lower back pain can significantly impact your daily life. Additionally, sciatica—pain radiating down the leg due to irritation of the sciatic nerve—can make simple movements like walking, standing, or even sitting unbearable. Fortunately, our experienced team at Sport & Spine Physical Therapy is here to provide fast and effective relief.

Our physical therapists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating lower back pain and sciatica. We take the time to thoroughly assess the origin of your pain, determining whether it stems from a muscle strain, herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or another underlying condition. Once we identify the root cause, we develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. Our goal is to not only reduce your pain but also help you return to your normal activities quickly and safely.

For those searching for physical therapy, Sport & Spine Physical Therapy is your trusted resource for expert care. We utilize a variety of evidence-based techniques, including manual therapy, spinal mobilization, therapeutic exercises, and core strengthening to alleviate back and leg pain. Through these treatments, we help reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and strengthen the muscles that support your spine, promoting long-term relief from lower back pain and sciatica.

In addition to addressing your immediate pain, we focus on preventative care to ensure your back and leg pain doesn’t return. Our therapists will educate you on proper posture, body mechanics, and ergonomics to protect your spine in everyday activities. We also design specific home exercise programs to keep your muscles strong and flexible, reducing the likelihood of future back issues. For athletes and active individuals, we offer specialized sports physical therapy programs that enhance core strength and stability, helping you avoid re-injury and maintain optimal performance.

At Sport & Spine Physical Therapy, we understand how debilitating lower back pain and sciatica can be. That’s why we are dedicated to providing quick and effective solutions to get you back on your feet. If you’re experiencing persistent lower back pain or sciatica, don’t wait for the problem to worsen—our expert therapists can help you find relief and prevent future flare-ups.

“I was referred to Sport & Spine for post-operative rehab from shoulder surgery. The care and treatment I received was highly effective. Thanks to Sport & Spine I am back to being fully functional in life’s general activities, and I am now rowing for competitions.”

- PETE CATHEY, Head Coach UNH Men’s Crew, Master Rower; Assistant Coach of Charles River Rowing Camp

“I have always engaged in intense levels of activity in both work and play. So when I had a menisectomy and ACL replacement after an accident, I was completely immobilized. I came to Sport & Spine because they were highly recommended by my surgeon. I truly had my doubts about physical therapy, but as soon as I arrived I knew this was the right choice. They use diverse and innovative ways to get you on your feet again by setting challenging yet attainable goals. And when I was done with my therapy, they were just as proud of me as I was of myself.”

- ALEXENDRA CHAN, Archaelogist

“I have been to numerous chiropractors, physical therapists, myotherapists and neurologists for the past 12 years for back, neck and shoulder pain to no avail. But after just 12 visits, I am out in my garden again! Chris and his staff really went the extra mile to see me reach and attain my goals. Thank you so much... I am forever grateful.”

- LIZ RIORDAN

“Suffering from a bad shoulder was something that I was living with for months. But working with the heroes over at Sport & Spine helped me progress at a level that was comfortable yet pushed me to a point that minimized the pain. Sport & Spine is the perfect physical therapy environment with a highly trained and cordial staff that really, really cares.”

- JAMES SWISHER

"Two months of using stretches I found on YouTube and got from my doctor’s office did nothing for my herniated disc. Just one month after going to see Dr. Ben McGinnis, my pain was almost entirely gone. We’re now working on strengthening to ensure I don’t re-injure myself. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Sport & Spine."

- PATRICK

"Although I worked primarily with Dan, the entire staff is professional, friendly, and above all they really know how to treat your conditions. I have been to Sport and Spine for 2 periods over the past couple of years, once for post shoulder surgery and once for treating a knee problem. I highly recommend Dan and Sport and Spine in general for physical therapy."

- JOHN B

"Was under Sport & Spine Physical Therapy's care for a 3 month period due to rotator cuff surgery. My rehab included three sessions weekly. The facility was always very neat and clean. The Corvid prevention program was quite thorough and very reassuring to me as a patient. Their entire staff was very courteous and professional. My primary therapist was Ben McGinnis. His care, preparation, and concern were exemplary. He always listened to my concerns and customized my exercise regimen to my particular case and needs. With the support and assistance of Karen Goldberg on Ben's days off, we were able to exceed my surgeon's expectations and overall goals. For the spectacular results of your detailed care and compassion, my hats off to you both! Heartfelt Thanks!!"
