Back Pain Wasilla

We Give Solution

To Your Back Pain

At Northern Edge Physical Therapy, we first address where the pain is originating from.

“I felt I was failing as a parent because I couldn’t play with my kids.”

Most people feel like they have tried everything to make back pain go away but nothing provides long term relief.

At NEPT, we believe that pain is not the issue. Pain is a warning signal, like a stop sign.

Far too often, the medical field is quick to prescribe opiates and send their patients out the door. This may control pain for a period of time, but it simply addresses the symptoms without addressing the severe functional limitations that caused the pain.

At Northern Edge Physical Therapy, we first address where the pain is originating from. Most often pain is not from where you feel it, but is related to muscles and movement in other parts of the body that are not functioning correctly. Once we have interpreted your pain signals, we can then proceed with treatment. A person with back pain most often receives a combination of dry needling and movement therapy.

Many patients, after only a couple visits, have reported a substantial lessening of pain and a return to normalcy.

– “The pain is hardly there anymore”

After being told I had no choice but to have back surgery I went and saw Keith and his amazing group at Northern Edge in January. I am in awe of my results so far. My leg is no longer numb and dragging, I don’t have to sleep in a recliner and my ortho doc is no longer saying the words surgery. Outside the box therapy and continuing hard work has meant no pain medication and no surgery for me. I am still a work in progress but cannot say how much I love these guys!”
