[Back Pain] "My Doctor Told Me To Stop Deadlifting. What Should I Do?..."

"I Have Back Pain, and My Doctor Told Me To Stop Deadlifting.  What Should I Do?..."

First thing's first...

There is a big difference between a physician/orthopedist and a doctor of physical therapy.

Many physicians and orthopedists will tell their patients to stop deadlifting if it has resulted in lower back pain, sciatica, or hip pain.

But, what if you want to keep lifting weights, deadlifting, or get back to CrossFit pain-free?

That's where physical therapists step in.

Nowadays, many physical therapists (doctors of PT) are the provider of choice to get you back to fitness, deadlifting, and CrossFit...

And, they do it with a natural, holistic treatment approach.

We usually describe this as a "game plan."

This is very different from seeing a physician, primary care doctor, or an orthopedist.

Because they will tell you to "Stop deadlifting"...

Or, "Stop CrossFit."

Our doctors of physical therapy will find a way to have you return to the workouts and lifts that you love.

We truly believe that there should be more fitness in healthcare,

So, it does NOT make sense to stop deadlifting.

Often times your deadlifting form may simply need to be corrected or modified.

Other times, you may require hands on joint mobilization treatments or soft tissue treatments,

That take pressure off certain joints,

Or, that lengthen tight and restricted muscles or tendons,

But, the hands on treatment techniques are always followed up by:

- Drills,
- Movements, or
- Exercises...

For:

- Muscle activation,
- Pain relief,
- Blood flow and circulation to facilitate healing,
- Additional joint mobilization,
- Increasing range of motion and, 
- Increasing flexibility.
