Modalities can be very useful to help reduce immediate pain. However, modalities should not be the only form of treatment. A comprehensive physical therapy or Chiropractic program should also include the following:

• Home Exercise Program.

• Instructions on Body Mechanics.

• A range of motion (ROM) program.

• Aerobic fitness exercises.

• Mild strengthening exercises (optional).

• Consideration of weight-loss.

• Better dietary choices.
