Physiotherapy For Back Pain

About 80% of people experience back pain once during their lifetime, making it one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Back pain is a common issue that can affect your life in many ways and make it difficult to walk, stand, sleep, and do many other regular activities. Back pain is immensely diverse, with various underlying causes that affect your back. If you are experiencing back pain that lasts longer than two weeks, your physician will likely refer you to a physiotherapist who can help with your back pain problem.

What is the Cause of Back Pain?

It can be challenging to know what exactly causes your back pain. There are a couple of different structures in your back that can cause the pain, including nerves, muscles, ligaments, discs, and joints. The brain can also get confused about what is actually causing the pain, so a ruptured disc can sometimes feel like a bruised muscle.

This is why consulting a physiotherapist is vital if you keep experiencing back pain. A physiotherapist can conduct a detailed test so as to help determine the cause and the most appropriate treatment.

How Can Physiotherapy Help Relieve Back Pain?

The problem with waiting for your back pain symptoms out may not actually solve the problem or bring to light underlying issues in the first place. This is why it is very important to be assessed by a physiotherapist and get targeted treatment plans. A physiotherapist will be able to determine the type of back pain you have, the cause and provide the right exercises and potential medications that will help make your back better.

With the right physiotherapy treatment, you will receive back pain treatments that will focus on posture training, mechanics, and exercise to get rid of your existing back pain and prevent new ones from conveying. You may see a combination of stretching, movement control exercises, and manual therapy to reestablish motion while reducing back pain and gradual strengthening exercise that concentrate on improving your core stability.
