Back Pain Treatment Redditch
Midlands Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic provides physio care for lower back pain and proudly services the local Redditch community.
Back pain in the lower region is a highly prevalent condition, with as many as 80% of the population experiencing it at some stage in their life. 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 substantial impact on the economy due to work absences. Although most patients recover from back pain within six weeks, a small number may develop chronic back pain and a gradual decline in function.
Causes of Back Pain
Most back pain is caused by irritation or poor function of the bones, joints, ligaments, or muscles in your back. Vertebral dysfunction, a prevalent condition that arises when the spinal vertebrae compress or irritate the sensitive nerve structures in your lower back, may be the root cause of such irritation.
Lower back pain can also result from inflammatory arthritis, such as ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as fractures caused by osteoporosis. Furthermore, back pain may be referred from another location.
Low back pain caused by cancer (usually originating from another source such as the prostate or lung), severe infections, and compression of the spinal cord are less frequent occurrences.
Assessment of Back Pain
To determine the exact cause of your lower back pain, your physiotherapist will conduct a thorough examination of your history, orthopaedic, neurological, and spinal functions. Additional assessments, such as x-rays and digital scans, may also be suggested.
Treatment for Back Pain
The physiotherapy treatment of low back pain concentrates on restoring function to spinal joints that are moving poorly, as well as reducing muscle tension and increasing muscle strength. As a result, there is improved movement, reduced pain, and decreased 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. Please contact us to schedule your comprehensive lower back consultation, which will help determine the exact cause of your back pain and initiate a course of corrective treatment today!
