“When should you go to physical therapy for back pain?”
I have back pain for 2 weeks now. I want to know when should you go to physical therapy for back pain?

You can go now.
You should go to see a physical therapy if your pain does not resolve in 2 weeks.

Physical therapy is never a bad idea. Back pain is complicated, but can often be treated with stretching and/or some mild manipulations and dry needling.
There is no set rule you should go to physical therapy and see how well you tolerate it if you tolerate it and you get better rather than worse then continue, obviously if it’s making it worse stop And you should see your physician for potential imaging.
