Chronic Back Pain Treatment in Stillwater, MN.
Most chronic back pain is not a structural problem. It is a movement, control, and load problem. The fastest path out is finding what is actually driving it and rebuilding from there.
What chronic back pain is.
Chronic back pain is pain that has persisted longer than 3 months. It can be a constant ache, recurring flare-ups, sharp episodes that come and go, or stiffness that limits how you move. Most people have tried stretches, rest, or medication and gotten temporary relief at best. That is because chronic back pain is rarely about a single tight muscle. It usually involves how the hips, core, breath, and movement patterns are working together.
When to seek physical therapy.
- • Low back pain lasting longer than 3 months
- • Recurring flare-ups that keep coming back
- • Stiffness that limits bending, twisting, or sitting
- • Pain that radiates into the hip, glute, or down the leg
- • Pain with sitting, standing, or lifting
- • Back pain that started after pregnancy and never resolved
- • Pain that is not responding to medication, rest, or stretching alone
How physical therapy helps.
A full movement assessment to identify what is actually driving the pain. From there, hands-on manual therapy, dry needling where appropriate, movement retraining, and a strength program targeted to the specific drivers of your case. Most clients see meaningful change in 4 to 8 visits.
What to expect.
60 minutes, one-on-one with Dr. Bethany. Full history, movement assessment, and a clear plan. You leave with hands-on treatment and a take-home program from the first session.
Hi, I am Dr. Bethany Reuter.
“Enhance” isn't just a name, it's a philosophy rooted in neuroplasticity, the body and brain's remarkable ability to adapt, grow, and get stronger at any stage of life. This requires someone willing to look at the full picture: your history, your goals, your body as a whole, not just the condition that brought you through the door.
My mission is simple. Empower you to keep adapting, keep getting stronger, and keep doing the things that bring you joy, to the absolute fullest capacity.
That's why I'm here. I'm glad you found me.
Dr. Bethany Reuter, PT, DPT
