Physical Therapy
Move Better, Live Better
At the Atlanta Back Clinic, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of outpatient physical therapy care. Our practice is built on a one-to-one treatment model, ensuring that each patient receives individualized attention from a licensed physical therapist throughout every session.
We specialize in the evaluation and treatment of a wide range of conditions, including neck, back, shoulder, hip, knee, wrist, and foot/ankle pain, as well as headaches and other musculoskeletal injuries. Our goal is not only to reduce pain, but to restore function, improve mobility, and help patients safely return to the activities they value most.
Who we are
Our Process
Assess
We start with a thorough assessment to identify potential limitations that may be contributing to your pain and dysfunction.
Teach
You’re part of the process. We emphasize educating patients to better understand and take control of their pain experience.
Treat
An individualized treatment plan is made to help reduce pain and improve function. Treatment may include manual therapy (cupping, dry needling, soft tissue mobilization), strength, mobility, and balance training.
Maintain
Our goal is to keep you progressing even outside the clinic— a custom home routine will be provided. We also offer use of our gym space after PT is completed so you can stay on track and keep improving.
