Back Pain Physiotherapy
Back Pain
Lower back pain is one of the main causes of physical disability, especially in the workplace. Research carried out indicates that around 80% of the population will experience some form of lower back pain during their lifetime.
Lower Back Pain and Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is one of the most common and effective treatments when it comes to treating lower back pain. A programme of targeted physiotherapy is often adopted to help patients gain relief from lower back pain. Back Pain Physiotherapy can be used either as a single line treatment or in conjunction with other treatments such as massage, heat, traction, ultrasound, or short wave diathermy. The human back is a highly complex system of series of interlocking elements consisting of the vertebrae, discs, joints, ligaments, and muscles. Owing to such a complex structure, any form of back pain requires a strong physiotherapy-based rehabilitation programme once the basic medication course has been undertaken.
How We Can Help
Here at NV Physio, we have extensive experience in the treatment of lower back pain. We have successfully treated many patients and helped them get rid of pain and regain full mobility. Listed below are some of the ways a physiotherapist can help with the management of lower back pain.
- Advice and early activity – There is significant evidence to prove that encouraging early movement in case of lower back pain is one of the most important parts of the treatment process.
- Mobilisation or Manipulative physiotherapy – This aspect of physiotherapy concentrates on promoting mobilisation of the specific affected area. The approach of manipulative physiotherapy is used to target the specific point of pain for relief and increase of movement.
- Specific stabilisation exercises – In this aspect of physiotherapy, the focus is on improving the strength and stability of the muscles that have been weakened due to the lower back pain.
- General exercises and stretches – A series of properly structured exercises and stretches are usually carried out taking into account the patient’s individual condition and cause of the lower back pain.
- Ergonomic advice – Since work-related hazards account for more than 65% of lower back problems, physiotherapists also concentrate on providing accurate ergonomic advice, aimed at helping inform the patient on using the appropriate equipment at work to help both avoid and cure lower back pain.
- Postural guidelines – This aspect of physiotherapy focuses on guiding the patient about the correct postural habits and ways to maintain accurate posture to avoid lower back pain.
