Back Pain

Back pain refers to discomfort or aches felt along the spine, ranging from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp sensation. It’s a prevalent issue that can affect daily activities and quality of life.​

Common Causes:

Back pain is multifactorial, meaning it can arise from various factors, including:​

  • Muscle or ligament strain: Often due to heavy lifting or sudden awkward movements.
  • Bulging discs: Discs act as cushions between the bones in your spine; affect the nerves and can press on nerves.
  • Joint-related issues: Conditions like arthritis can affect the spine.
  • Skeletal deviations: Conditions like scoliosis can lead to back pain.
  • Stress and anxiety: Psychological factors can contribute to muscle tension and exacerbate back pain.
  • Physiotherapy: Tailored exercises to strengthen back muscles, facilitating a return to daily activities and functional goals.
  • Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to mobilize joints and soft tissues, reducing pain and enhancing mobility.
  • Patient Education and Reassurance: Providing insights and psychological support into the condition to alleviate concerns and promote active participation in recovery.
  • Acupuncture: May help alleviate chronic back pain by stimulating blood flow in the muscles.
