Article: Physiotherapy for Back Pain

Back pain presents itself in a wide range of guises with many symptoms which can range from an occasional achy back to constant disabling spinal pain.

There are many causes of back pain, such as disc prolapse, spondylosis, spondylosis, degenerative disc disease and muscular spasm to name but a few.

The key to effective and efficient management of back pain is two fold. Initial advice would be to encourage maintenance of an active lifestyle so as to avoid long periods of sitting or lying down.

If pain, discomfort or immobility continues then accurate assessment, diagnosis and treatment is advisable from a specialist health profession such as a Chartered Physiotherapist.

Physiotherapists offer expertise in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of many causes of acute and chronic back and spinal pain. Typical conditions treated successfully by Physiotherapists can be seen here.

An experienced Physiotherapist will assess and diagnose the cause of back pain using thorough and systematic clinical tests and techniques. This allows the Physio to offer practical and direct treatment to reduce pain and increase function rapidly. The Physiotherapists’ broad anatomical and exercise knowledge facilitates the provision of rehabilitation to address not only the symptoms of back pain but also the causes.
