Back Pain Bridgnorth

Is your back pain impacting numerous aspects of your life, including your sleep and your ability to participate in activities you enjoy? 

What is Back Pain?

At our clinic, back pain is one of the most frequent reasons for patient appointments. 

It may commence as a niggle, progress gradually, or develop suddenly, causing a variety of limitations in your life. 

Our way of treating back pain involves unique manual therapies and the core control program so that your back has the strength and ability to maintain the pressures of normal daily life. 

Sometimes your back pain can be due to any number of reasons, which aren’t actually specifically located in your back. It’s our job to determine what these factors are to make sure we create a treatment plan appropriate to your condition and get you better doing the things that you want to be doing.

Midlands Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic provides physio care for lower back pain and proudly services the local Bridgnorth community.

As many as 80% of people experience lower back pain at some point in their lives, making it an extremely common condition. Although the underlying pathology of low back pain is typically not severe, it is a significant source of pain in the community and has a considerable impact on the economy due to work absenteeism. Although the majority of patients recover from back pain within six weeks, a small percentage may develop chronic back pain and a gradual decline in function. 

Causes of Back Pain

Most causes of back pain are the result of irritation or poor function of the bones, joints, ligaments or muscles in your back. Such irritation can be the result of Vertebral dysfunction, a common condition that occurs when the spinal vertebrae compress or irritate the delicate nerve structures of your lower back. 

Inflammatory arthritis (such as ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis) and fractures caused by osteoporosis are among the other causes of lower back pain. Additionally, back pain may be referred from other areas. 

Low back pain caused by cancer (usually originating from another source such as the prostate or lung), severe infections, and spinal cord compression are uncommon conditions.

Assessment of Back Pain

To identify the precise cause of your lower back pain, your physiotherapist will conduct a comprehensive examination of your history, orthopaedic, neurological, and spinal functions. Additional evaluations, such as x-rays and digital scans, may also be advised. 

Treatment for Back Pain

Physiotherapy treatment for low back pain aims to restore function to spinal joints that are moving poorly, as well as to reduce muscle tension and increase muscle strength. This leads to improved movement, lessened pain, and reduced nerve irritation. 

Treatments are tailored to each individual case and typically involve spinal and soft tissue mobilisation, advice on core stabilisation, strengthening exercises, stretching, and heat/cold therapy.
