Welcome to the Carter Physiotherapy’s resource about mid back issues.
Regardless of what you think, a degenerative disc isn't a music CD that you don't want your kids to listen to. Rather it is an incredibly painful Mid Back condition that is less fun to deal with than a mini-van full of teenagers listening to the latest song by Lady GaGa.
If you currently suffer from Mid Back problems that are getting you down, both in spirit and in posture, it's time you did something about it.
This area of our site is designed to help you know what to do and how to fix Mid Back pain that could be caused from ruptured or bulging discs or to help you determine if you pulled a major muscle while cleaning your kid's room last weekend.
You don't have to live with Mid Back pain, your condition, more than likely is completely treatable when you enlist our help. However, you might have to live with the music your kid plays, at least until they go to college.

“ Hesper is simply amazing. I had an injured back and hamstring tendinopathy when I first saw her. She provided me with detailed instructions for rehab exercises at home and also performed cupping and massage on the areas where my muscles were tight. After just two sessions I felt significantly better and could resume exercise again. She is also a great listener and answers all my questions. I couldn’t recommend her more highly! ”

“ I love these guys! I’m a therapist and that job requires a lot of sitting which, if you read Jarod’s article in Austin Fit, you know is never a good thing. After a really busy time I ended up with back, hip, knee and foot pain. Jarod and Ben got me functioning again and back to comfort. They have different but complimentary styles. They care about their patients and they know what they’re doing. Really five stars aren’t enough! ”

“ I had been to several physical therapists, chiropractors, trainers, etc and just gave up. I was hitting my late 20’s and was having so much back pain everyday. I was always the weakest link in any outdoor outing. Everyone gave me these quick fix solutions and didn’t take the time to understand my problem. When I went to Jarod, it was my last effort before finally giving up. I always had a pain in my lower back that I couldn’t identify exactly where it was. One appointment with Jarod, he was able to identify not only where my pain was, but also get me on a program to start working on the muscles that are weak. It’s been about a year since seeing Jarod and I recently did a 6 hour hike up a volcano in Guatemala. Jarod is not only an amazing physiotherapist but also a great person to talk with! I highly recommend him! ”

“ I was referred to Carter Physiotherapy by a college friend who is a PT in San Antonio. At the time, I was seeing a Chiropractor for butt, hip and back pain with no results. Nick at Carter did a complete evaluation and came up with a plan. I feel like I died and went to PT heaven. Nick zeroed in on my problem areas went to work. Seriously, Nick is a PT genius. The exercises Nick gave me combined with his PT expertise, has decreased my pain and I’m moving in a direction of healing. I plan to incorporate the at home exercises in to my workout once I graduate from PT because clearly they are what my body needs. Thank you Nick ”

“ My husband and I have been going to Carter Physiotherapy for several years for various reasons. We've worked with several physical therapists in the practice. Each experience was professional, warm and comfortable. From the moment you contact CP to the end of a session, it is an efficient and thorough process with excellent service. Most recently, I had a bulging disc issue which left me with intense pain and limited movement. Nick B. was my PT. He was courteous, knowledgeable and all around great! And after 2-3 months of treatment I am no longer in pain and have my movement back. I, along with my husband, highly recommend Carter Physiotherapy. They're just the best! ”

“ Carter Physio is amazing. Nick and Hesper are both extremely knowledgeable and just great people. Their ability to listen, truly listen, and then get to the root of your issue with a very focused and intentional treatment program is special. I've been dealing with lower back issues, ruptured disc, car accidents etc, for much of my life and had a flair up that had me in pain and with difficulty moving for months. After a few weeks of focused in session treatment and a list of exercises to do on my own I'm back to normal. Hands down the best PT experience I've ever had. If you have any issues, go to see them! ”

“ I went to Dr. Carter because of sciatica. I’d already had treatment by another manual therapist, which definitely helped, but I just wasn’t able to rid myself completely of nagging and occasionally painful effects. I should also add that I hadn’t been able to run for nearly a year because it would always re-aggravate the sciatica, and plane rides or car rides caused pain. After several treatments I have ZERO sciatica pain. Not only that, but he helped correct a toe injury that has bothered me for many years. I should add that as a patient I had - and still have - responsibilities in the treatment. Nearly every day I do the stretches and exercises Jarod prescribed. Those are an important part of successful treatment. I’m back to running 10-12 miles a week. Incredible! Give Jarod a call if you have an injury. He is a gifted therapist! ”

I had some long standing upper back issues that that nobody had been able to diagnose or fix. Nick was able to get me back doing everything I wanted. I would highly recommend him for any issues. ”

“ I have been a patient of Jarod's for over a decade. He is a skilled manual therapist, friendly, compassionate and an all around nice guy. Knees, shoulders and back issues, Jarod has fixed what ailed me every time. I recently had an opportunity to work with Nick and I could not be more satisfied with the experience. Nick is very skilled manual therapist and it's clear that he cares about his patients. My sessions with him were very productive and I was very satisfied with the outcome. I highly reccomend Jarod and his team for any physical therapy services you may need. Mark ”

“ I love Tarina! She was a godsend. I had a bad accident in early January which resulted in neck and back injuries. Fortunately I had a previously scheduled appointment with Tarina and was able to start working with her right away. She knew exactly what to do and I'm almost back to normal again. Tarina is very skilled and she's really personable as well. She helped me remain hopeful and positive in the beginning which I really needed with the pain I was experiencing. I highly recommend her! ”

“ We took our daughter who is a club rower to Jarod for a back injury that several other specialists were unable to help with. Dr. Carter's diagnostic skils and hands on manipulation allowed her to row at full speed after months of down time. Dr. Carter also then taught her a series of simple excercises that allow her to maintain her back on her won. The very happy ending is that our daughter just got into a D1 Ivy college and we really feel grateful to Dr. Carter... not sure it would have been possible without him. He is awesome!!!!
