It can start as a minor discomfort, gradually worsen, or suddenly appear, causing an array of restrictions 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.
Sometimes your back pain can be due to any number of reasons, which aren’t actually specifically located in your back.

Back Pain Treatment Wombourne
Midlands Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic provides physio care for lower back pain and proudly services the local Wombourne community.
Lower back pain is a widespread condition, affecting up to 80% of the population at some stage in their lives. While the underlying pathology of low back pain is usually not severe, it is a significant cause of pain in the community and has a substantial impact on the economy due to time taken off work. Although most patients with back pain will recover 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.
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.
Less common causes of low back pain include cancer (typically originating from another source, such as the prostate or lung), severe infections, and compression of the spinal cord.
Assessment of Back Pain
Your Physiotherapist will perform a detailed history, orthopaedic, neurological and spinal examination to determine the exact cause of your lower back pain. Other tests including x-rays and digital scanning may also be recommended.
Treatment for Back Pain
Physiotherapy treatment of low back pain focuses on restoring function to poorly moving spinal joints, as well as reducing muscle tension and increasing muscle strength. This results in improved movement, reduced pain and deceased 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!
