Does physical therapy help in relieving the severe back pain?
Patient: Denzel, a 46 year old man, is working with his physical therapist on a set of back exercises. Around four weeks ago, Denzel was helping a friend move and attempted to lift a heavy box. Since that incident, he has had severe pain in his lower back. His health care provider prescribed physical therapy three times per week to treat the condition. Doctor: Severe back pain need rest and medical treatment in the form of painkillers. After controlling severe pain slowly start physiotherapy. First you consult neuro surgeon and take opinion then do accordingly.  You may have disc prolapse.  There are so many type's of treatment modalities.  Drug therapy.  Epidural steroid injection.  Surgical intervention. When you are having severe back pain, and if you try to lift the heavy objects with one side it will further exaggerate disc prolapse.  Kindly avoid those work.
