What Causes Back Pain?
There are numerous reasons why you may be experiencing back pain, and seeing a physiotherapist is the best way to find out for sure!
Sprain/Strain:
A back sprain occurs when you overstretch the ligaments in your spine, whereas a back strain occurs when you overstretch your back muscles.
Poor Posture:
Poor posture can cause back pain to develop. If your posture is incorrect, it can put strain on other parts of your body, causing pain, inflammation, or dysfunction.
Degenerative disc disease (DDD):
DDD is another major cause of back discomfort as we age. A dull, painful ache in the lower back is common in people with this condition, as is difficulty standing or walking for lengthy periods.
Herniated discs:
These can cause significant pain in the back and radiculopathy in your thigh, leg, or foot, as well as other underlying issues. A herniated disc can also cause sciatica, which is quite painful!
The good news is that physiotherapy at our Newton, Surrey, Fleetwood, and Langley centers can help you if you’re struggling with any of these conditions involving your back.
How Can Beyond Physiotherapy Provide Me With Back Pain?
After your initial evaluation, our physiotherapist will devise a treatment plan for you based on how you developed the back pain, its precise location and your medical history. Our therapists work with you to loosen any restricted areas, improve movement, quickly reduce your pain and strengthen your core muscles to prevent re-injury. It is vital that you complete a full course of therapy to ensure that you don’t reinjure your back again. We will also demonstrate how to employ ergonomic measures to preserve your spine while performing daily activities such as sitting at a desk or driving.
