Back Pain Telford
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?
One of the primary reasons why patients come to our clinic is back pain.
It may commence as a niggle, progress gradually, or develop suddenly, causing a variety of limitations in your life.
At our clinic, we use exclusive manual therapies and the core control program as part of our treatment for back pain. This helps your back acquire the strength and capability to manage the daily pressures of life.
At times, your back pain may arise from several factors that are not necessarily related to your back. Our goal is to determine these factors, create a treatment plan appropriate to your condition, and help you regain the ability to engage in the activities you desire.
Back Pain Treatment Telford
Midlands Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic provides physio care for lower back pain and proudly services the local Telford 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
The majority of causes of back pain result from irritation or poor function of the bones, joints, ligaments, or muscles in your back. Such irritation may be caused by Vertebral dysfunction, a prevalent condition that arises when the spinal vertebrae compress or irritate the sensitive nerve structures in your lower back.
Lower back pain can also be caused by inflammatory arthritis (such as ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis), as well as fractures resulting from osteoporosis. Moreover, back pain may be referred from another part of the body.
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
In the treatment of low back pain, physiotherapy focuses on restoring function to spinal joints that are moving poorly, as well as reducing muscle tension and increasing muscle strength. This results in improved movement, reduced pain, and decreased nerve irritation.
Therapies are tailored to the individual case, often involving spinal and soft tissue mobilisation, advice on core stabilisation, strengthening exercises, stretching, and heat/cold therapy. Please contact us to arrange your comprehensive lower back consultation, which will assist in identifying the precise cause of your back pain and starting a course of corrective treatment today!
