Back to You Therapy

Back pain impacts every aspect of your life. Hoag Orthopedic Institute and ProSport Physical Therapy created the Back to You spinal rehab program to treat your back pain through strengthening, nutrition and education.

Back to You is a unique, evidence-based approach to treating back pain. Research shows that exercise, education on pain, and diet can restore movement and that most spinal conditions can be successfully treated non-surgically with an aggressive spinal strengthening program.

  • Unlike traditional physical therapy, Back to You includes period measurements of a patient’s strength allowing them to track their progress.
  • The program dispels myths around movement and pain.
  • We address each individual’s fear of movement so that you can get Back to You.

The Back to You Program Includes:

  • A circuit based spinal strengthening program with individual measurements to document progress.
  • Education to understand the physiology of pain
  • Nutrition advice and how inflammation can impact pain.
  • Specially trained Back to You Physical Therapists

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Your first visit to Hoag Orthopedic Institute is a chance for you and your spine specialist to get a complete picture of your current back health and goals for recovery. You’ll meet with a board-certified, fellowship-trained back doctor who will listen to your concerns, review any prior imaging or test results, and ask detailed questions about your symptoms and lifestyle. A detailed physical exam may follow to assess your range of motion, strength, and nerve function.

    Your back specialist may recommend advanced imaging or additional diagnostic tests available onsite. Together, you’ll discuss what’s causing your pain or mobility limitations and review both non-surgical and surgical treatment options. You’ll leave with a clear and personalized plan designed for your specific needs—and a team ready to support you through each step of your care.

  • At Hoag Orthopedic Institute, our highly qualified physical therapists, back doctors, and spine surgeons work together to treat a broad range of spine conditions. These include addressing herniated discs, relieving spinal stenosis, and managing degenerative disc disease and scoliosis. Conservative treatments often include targeted physical therapy, image-guided injections to relieve nerve pain, or medications to reduce inflammation.

    When surgery is your most effective option, our spine specialists perform procedures including spinal decompression to free compressed nerves, spinal fusion to stabilize the spine, and disc replacement to maintain mobility. Many operations are performed using minimally invasive or robotic-assisted techniques, which combine advanced imaging with precise instrument control to protect surrounding tissues and support a smoother recovery. Our back specialists devise a custom spine plan for each patient, designed to relieve pain, restore function, and help them return to active, pain-free living.
