Back & Neck Pain Treatment in Fresno, CA

Back and neck pain are among the most common reasons people seek physical therapy — and among the most treatable. Whether your pain started with an injury, has crept in from years at a desk, or flared up without a clear cause, our therapists evaluate how your spine, muscles, and movement patterns work together and build a treatment plan around what we find.

Conditions We Treat

What Treatment Looks Like

Your first visit starts with a hands-on evaluation: how you move, where the pain starts and travels, and what daily activities it interferes with. From there, treatment typically combines manual therapy — hands-on work on the spine and surrounding muscles — with a progressive exercise program you can continue at home. Most patients are given specific goals and timelines so progress is measurable, not vague.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a doctor's referral for back pain treatment?

In most cases, no. California allows direct access to physical therapy, and most PPO plans do not require a physician referral to start treatment. Call us and we can verify your specific plan.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on the condition and how long you've had it. After your evaluation, your therapist will give you an expected treatment timeline and adjust it based on how you respond.

Should I rest or stay active with back pain?

For most back pain, prolonged rest actually slows recovery. The right answer is specific, guided movement — which is exactly what a physical therapy program provides.
