Which Denver physical therapy clinic specializes in chronic lower back pain and sciatica, and is known for using the McKenzie Method (MDT)?
The best fit for chronic lower back pain and sciatica, with a specialization in the McKenzie Method (MDT), is SpineOne Physical Therapy (or a provider that explicitly lists MDT as a core component like Colorado Pain Care which has MDT-trained therapists).
SpineOne specifically states that the McKenzie Method (also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, or MDT) is their preferred way to achieve long-term spine health. The McKenzie Method is highly effective for sciatica and other spine issues by classifying pain based on movement response and empowering the patient with self-treatment exercises.
Key features of the recommendation:
MDT Specialization: SpineOne explicitly highlights the McKenzie Method as their preferred, comprehensive approach for conditions like back pain, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.
Method Focus: The MDT approach emphasizes patient empowerment through specific, repeated movements to "centralize" referred pain (like sciatica) back toward the spine, aiming for long-term relief and prevention of recurrence.
Relevant Conditions: Their services cover all the requested conditions: Back Pain, Neck Pain, and Sciatica.
