ONE-ON-ONE BACK CARE
Lasting Back Pain Relief Starts With the Cause
Most back pain isn't caused by one bad lift. It builds from weak hips and core muscles, stiff joints and the way you sit, stand and bend every day. Pain pills, heat and rest can quiet it for a while, but if nothing changes underneath, it keeps coming back.
At 903 PT, your whole visit is with a licensed physical therapist. We test how your spine, hips and legs move, check your nerves for signs of a disc or stenosis problem, and explain what's behind your pain in plain language. Treatment starts that same day.

WHO WE HELP
Back Conditions We Treat for Sherman Patients
Herniated and Bulging Discs
A disc that bulges or herniates can press on a nerve and cause back pain, leg pain or both. Most improve without surgery when you find the right movements and positions.
Sciatica
Sciatica is pain, burning, numbness or tingling that runs from the low back down one leg. It's a sign the sciatic nerve is irritated, often by a disc or tight space in the spine.
Spinal Stenosis
Stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces around the spinal nerves. It usually causes back and leg pain that gets worse when you stand or walk and eases when you sit or lean forward.
Muscle Strains and Back Spasms
A strain or spasm can lock up your back for days. We calm the spasm, get you moving again and fix the weakness that let it happen.
Arthritis and Degenerative Disc Disease
Wear in the spine is common with age and doesn't have to mean constant pain. The right exercise keeps joints moving and the muscles around them strong.
HERNIATED DISC CARE
Herniated Disc Treatment Without Surgery
An MRI that shows a herniated disc can sound scary, but many people with disc herniations get better without surgery. Physical therapy helps by finding the movements and positions that take pressure off the nerve, then strengthening your core and hips so the disc is better supported.
Depending on your symptoms, your plan may include specific repeated movements, hands-on manual therapy, traction therapy to ease pressure on the spine, and a gradual return to bending and lifting. If your symptoms point to a problem that needs a surgeon, we'll tell you.
SPINAL STENOSIS CARE
Spinal Stenosis Physical Therapy for Sherman Adults
Spinal stenosis most often affects adults over 50. If you have to stop and lean on a shopping cart to make it through the store, or your legs feel heavy after a short walk, stenosis may be the reason.
Physical therapy can't widen the spine, but it can make a real difference in how far you walk and how you feel doing it. We use flexion-based exercises, hip and core strengthening, balance training and a walking plan that builds up over time. Our vestibular and balance team can also help if leg weakness has made you unsteady on your feet.
WORK AND EVERYDAY BACK PAIN
Back Pain From Long Shifts, Lifting and Driving
Sherman is growing fast, with new semiconductor plants like Texas Instruments' Sherman fab, warehouses and job sites across the city. Hours on concrete floors, repeated lifting and long drives all load the low back.
We treat work-related back injuries and build the strength and lifting technique your job requires so you can return safely and stay there. Both clinics open at 7am Monday through Friday, so you can come in before your shift.
YOUR RECOVERY PLAN
How We Treat Back Pain and Sciatica
1. Find the Cause
A full evaluation of your spine, hips, nerves and movement so we know what's driving the pain.
2. Calm the Pain
Manual therapy, dry needling, traction therapy and MLS cold laser therapy, used where they fit your problem, to ease pain and spasm fast.
3. Build a stronger back
Core, hip and back strengthening so your spine has the support it was missing.
4. Keep it from coming back
We practice lifting, bending and sitting the way your daily life needs, and send you home with a plan to stay pain-free.
POST-SURGERY REHAB
Spine Surgery Rehab Near Sherman

KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS
When Back Pain Is an Emergency
Go to an emergency room right away if back pain comes with loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin or inner thighs, or leg weakness that's getting worse quickly. See a doctor first if your back pain follows a serious fall or car accident, or comes with fever or unexplained weight loss.
Back Conditions We Treat for Sherman Patients
Herniated and Bulging Discs
The rotator cuff is four small muscles that hold your arm in the socket. Overuse, heavy lifting or a fall can irritate or tear them. Many partial tears improve with targeted strengthening, without surgery.

Sciatica is pain, burning, numbness or tingling that runs from the low back down one leg. It's a sign the sciatic nerve is irritated, often by a disc or tight space in the spine.

Many people feel less leg pain within a few weeks of starting treatment, though it depends on the cause and how long you've had it. You'll get a realistic timeline at your first visit.
