Our free back pain e-book provides you with 8 quick tips to ease your back pain and maintain your active lifestyle.

A message from Dr. Nathan Miller, founder of Shield Physical Therapy and Injury Prevention:

There are many causes of back pain. Some people know exactly when it started (car accident, sports injury, or work injury). For others, the pain developed with no apparent cause. And unlike pains you had when you were younger, this back pain just won’t go away!

As society advances in technology and communications, the prevalence of back pain is only getting worse. So what are we doing as Americans to make our back pain worse? I believe that I know and have developed an effective method to treat pain when other methods are not working.

So why not let go of that belief that your pain will get better on its own?

Please let me explain how we have helped others who feel just like you...

Are you worried about missing those special moments with your kids or grandkids because of your back pain?
Are you concerned that there is a serious problem with your back because the pain isn’t going away with rest?
Are you concerned about the long-term effects of taking medications for your pain?
Are you frustrated with your physical therapist who is too busy and keeps passing you off to aids or assistants?Are you tired of going to the chiropractor every month and your back pain is not resolved?
Are you tired of going to the chiropractor every month and your back pain is not resolved?
Are you nervous that if your back pain gets worse, you won’t be able to work and provide for your family?
Are you tired of being passed to different doctors and being told to “take these pills” or “give it more time”?

For some people, your pain is debilitating. You wake up in the morning and feel a familiar twinge in your back. It's a daily struggle that can leave you on edge, fearing what each new day might bring. If this is you, you should be seen today!

Most of the people we treat at Shield Physical Therapy for back pain are not in this state. Their pain is bearable, but has gone on way too long and is affecting many areas of their lives. Maybe you talked to your doctor who just gave you pills and told you to come back if it doesn’t go away. But why go back to the doctor for more pills if the first round of pills didn’t help?

Maybe you keep going to a chiropractor, massage therapist or physical therapist and it helps… for a while. But the pain keeps coming back. There has to be something better! So you look online for any stretch or tip that you can use to DIY your back pain away. And again, it helps a little, but your problem isn’t solved.

How do you know what your back really needs?

So you remain frustrated. You aren’t sure what to do to help yourself, so you just resolve to live with the pain. Have you thought to yourself, “well maybe I can’t run anymore, but at least I can golf” or “I can’t get up and down from the floor easily anymore, but my kids aren’t little so I don’t need to play on the ground.”

Please don’t give up that level of independence. If you don’t take charge of your body now, how much harder will it be to regain the strength and flexibility that you are missing? And what if it keeps getting worse?

So regardless of what caused your pain, what are you going to do about it?

I would like to present Shield PT as an option for you. We have treated individuals with your back pain and specialize in helping people regain freedom from pain and worry. We can help you get back to the life you love. If you commit to the individualized plan we create for you, your goals become our goals and we work together to achieve the health outcomes that you deserve.

For most people, this includes addressing other aspects of health beyond your back pain to help you live a strong, healthy, independent life for decades to come. So if you’re still grappling with the idea of working with us, the best place to start is a phone consultation. This is a short, 15-minute talk to discuss your challenges and help you make the best decision for your health.
