Back Pain Treatment in Memphis

Back pain is complex, and we can help you overcome it and stay active.

Whether it started suddenly or has been creeping in for years, back pain can limit your movement, keep you from the things you love, and wear on your confidence. At 901 Physical Therapy, we help active adults in Memphis overcome back pain with personalized, hands-on care rooted in real results, not cookie-cutter exercises or rushed appointments.

Does this sound like you? 

  • Back pain that makes it hard to stay active or focused at work
  • Fear of triggering a flare-up when exercising or lifting
  • Sudden episodes where your back "goes out" and you're unable to move
  • Pain that spreads to your hips or legs after sitting too long
  • Stiffness in the morning or after sleep that eases as the day goes on
  • Discomfort from standing too long, walking far, or riding in the car

You don't have to "just live with it." There's a better way.

Why Past Treatment Hasn't Worked

Most people who work with us have already tried something, usually more than one thing: rest that turned into weeks of avoiding movement altogether, a printout of the same exercises that never change or progress, or a spine adjustment that felt great before the pain crept back and sent you in for another adjustment.

Most people end up managing back pain instead of solving it. An anti-inflammatory or a round of injections that takes the edge off long enough to get through a work trip.  Avoiding certain movements because it feels safer than risking another flare-up.

What's usually missing through all of it is a strategy: a plan that identifies what's actually driving your pain and rebuilds your back's strength.

A Smarter Approach to Treating Back Pain

Back pain can be tricky, and it's often about more than just one particular thing.

We don't just treat symptoms. We uncover the underlying reasons behind your pain and build a plan to help you move better, feel stronger, and navigate life with confidence in your back strength.

We've helped thousands of Memphis locals overcome back pain and reclaim their active lives. We'd love to help you do the same.

Conditions We See Every Day

No matter what it's called on paper, if it's showing up in your back, we've probably already helped someone through it.

Sciatica Herniated & Bulging Discs Degenerative Disc Disease Spinal Stenosis Spondylolisthesis Scoliosis Stress Fractures Muscle Strains Back Spasms Chronic Stiffness

60 Minutes, One-on-One, Every Visit

At most clinics you'll spend part of your session with a tech or assistant.. At 901PT every session is a full hour with your Doctor of Physical Therapy, the same person every time, so nothing gets lost and your care keeps moving forward. You'll also have access to your PT in between visits, allowing for program adjustments and questions to be answered without having to wait until your next visit.

A Diagnosis Doesn't Have to Be the End of the Story

If you've been told you have arthritis, a herniated disc,, or that you need surgery, it can feel like your options are limited.

Often they're not. Imaging findings and diagnoses don't always tell the whole story, and being told to stop exercising or limit your activity is rarely the right long-term answer. We'll look at the full picture, help you understand what your diagnosis actually means for your life, and build a plan that keeps you moving forward.

Ready to Deal With Your Back Pain For Good?

You've tried rest and stretches. If it hasn't stuck yet, it's not because you didn't try hard enough., it's because you haven't had the right plan to guide you step by step from pain to a strong and resilient back.

"I walked into this place skeptical I would see any results.  I walked out with a noticeable difference and better with my foot feeling better than it has in weeks.  They took great care of me and took there time to find a real solution not a bandaid. Thank you 901PT!!"

Clay & Sara have created an entirely new standard for physical therapy care and treatment. If you are a person who has been living with chronic pain due to an injury... let go of your perception of what a physical therapist is and go see them!!!

So much I could say about 901PT! What a gift this place is to the community of Memphis. I have experienced many other PT clinics and no one has ever been as knowledge, personable, passionate and intentional as this group.

I’m thankful for and impressed with the preparation and steps Jessica takes from the moment I walk in. Her initial assessments seem to uncover what’s really happening at not only the painful places but subtle other locations involved. Every exercise she gives me helps.

I’ve had the best experience getting back to tennis and sleeping without pain since going to 901PT. Clay helped me not only achieve my goals but know what to do if my symptoms flare up. I recommend them to anyone!
