Physical therapy only made my back hurt worse; now what can i do?

See your doctor.: If therapy truly made you worse, maybe you suffered a new injury. A good physical exam and some imaging studies might be helpful. Treatment options include anti inflammatories, hot or cold modalities, gentle stretching and staying active as tolerated.
