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.

I cannot recommend Emma highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I was immediately impressed by their professionalism and expertise. I’ve had my share of sports-related aches and pains, but after just one session with Emma, I felt a remarkable difference.They took the time to listen to my concerns and worked with me to target specific areas of tension. Their knowledge of the body and technique was evident as they expertly worked through tight muscles and knots, using just the right amount of pressure to relieve pain while also promoting relaxation.It’s clear that Emma is incredibly skilled and truly passionate about helping people heal and perform at their best.Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a professional athlete, I highly recommend booking a session. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, restored, and ready to take on anything!

After a recent fall I was really suffering with tendonitis in my fingers. A few sessions with Nathan and movement and pain dramatically eased. I'll carry on with the exercises I was given. Thank you Nathan

I’ve have been attending appointments with Nathan to work on my neck which was extremely tight and causing me alot of pain and discomfort.From the first appointment, my neck pain instantly felt better and knew that Nathan would be able to help me. I attended a few more appointments and in between them I managed to do my exercises that Nathan had demonstrated and gave me to do.Nathan was professional from start to finish, he’s extremely knowledgeable in his field of work and I felt so relaxed with him.My neck is so much better and I’ve found I’ve got so much more movement in it. I’d highly recommend anyone to book an appointment with Nathan.Thank you Nathan, keep up the fantastic work that you’re doing. I really can’t thank you enough!!

After struggling to walk for over a month with sciatica pain I popped into see Nathan. After the first session I could tell the difference. I'd previously been to chiropractors who had only made the problem worse so I was sceptical before I saw Nathan. He assured me he would have me back up and walking in no time and he did. I couldn't recommend NV Physiotherapy enough.Thanks again Nathan 👍

I was referred to Nathan by my health insurer. I had a great experience from start to finish. He knows his stuff and shows genuine care. He assessed my symptoms and the underlying causes of my pain and now I’m pain free and have been for a number of weeks. Would highly recommend!
