Therapy Fact #212 

According to the Health Services Research Journal, patients with lower back pain who turned to their Physical Therapist first for treatment, spent 72% less on care to manage their problem than those who did not.  Another study by the University of Pittsburg found that patients who received Physical Therapy and those who had spinal surgery had the same levels of recovery; but the Physical Therapy pateints spent roughly half as much as their operated-on counterparts did.

Moral - try Physical Therapy, it works !
