Why We're Different

This is the single biggest difference between The Back Clinic and most other physical therapy clinics. When you come to us, your physical therapist is with you for the entire session. Not checking in periodically while managing other patients. Not handing you off to a technician or aide. Your therapist — hands on, focused, and adjusting your treatment in real time for the full visit.

Why does this matter? Because physical therapy outcomes depend on the quality and precision of treatment, not just the exercises prescribed. Manual therapy techniques require skilled, sustained hands-on work. Exercise form corrections happen in the moment. Treatment plans are adjusted based on what your therapist feels and observes during each session. None of this is possible when a therapist is splitting attention across multiple patients.

The Back Clinic has been serving the Wilmington, Delaware community for over 40 years. That kind of longevity does not happen by accident — it is built on consistent clinical results and the trust of patients and referring physicians who have seen those results firsthand.

Our therapists are not just experienced — they are specialists. From vestibular rehabilitation and TMJ treatment to post-surgical protocols and pelvic floor therapy, our team has the advanced training to handle conditions that many general PT clinics cannot.

We are data-driven in our clinical practice. Your progress is tracked with objective measures — range of motion, strength testing, functional scores, and standardized outcome tools. You will always know where you started, where you are, and where you are headed.

This is not just good practice — it keeps us accountable. If your numbers are not moving in the right direction, we know it immediately and adjust. There is no guessing, no hoping, and no wasting your time on treatments that are not working.

Our clinic is equipped with everything needed for comprehensive physical therapy, including a heated therapy pool for aquatic therapy, private treatment rooms for sensitive conditions, and a full range of therapeutic equipment. We offer dry needling, manual therapy, vestibular rehabilitation, pelvic floor therapy, and the full spectrum of orthopedic and neurological rehabilitation services.

You should not have to go to multiple clinics for different types of physical therapy. At The Back Clinic, we handle it all under one roof.
