Lower back pain is a typical condition with up to 80% of the people experiencing back pain at some point during their lives. Back pain has considerable effect on our lives and on the economy due to time taken off work.

While most individuals with back pain recover inside six weeks, some will go on to develop lingering back pain and a loss of functionality — especially if the irritation is left undiagnosed and untreated by a professional physiotherapist.

What causes low back pain?

Most back pain is 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 condition that results when the spinal bones compress and irritate the fragile nerve structures of your back.

Other causes include muscle strain, sciatica, disc herniation, deteriorative changes, inflammatory arthritis and fractures due to osteoporosis.

Other conditionscausing low back pain include cancer, serious sickness and compression of the spinal nerve. lower back pain can even occur from emotional, “psychosocial” and stress issues.

In all cases, get your back trouble diagnosed as quickly as possible at a physiotherapy clinic you have confidence in.

How can you deal with and/or stop lower back pain?

Avoid too much rest. It is easy to feel you should stop moving and lie in bed all day. But usually, you need to remain active. Research supports the advantages of moving about as soon as reasonable after your injury. Engage in low impact activity like swimming, walking and, naturally, a variety of physiotherapy exercises

Stay Fit. One of the most efficient ways to fight low back pain and prevent it from recurring is to remain physically fit. The greater your aerobic fitness, the better oxygen delivery you’ll get to your muscles, and the less sensitive you’ll be to pain responses in your back. Be certain to exercise at least 30-40 minutes every other day – you will feel much better and help your back at the same time.

Don’t remain in the same position for over half an hour. If you spend the majority of your day stationed at your desk or driving a vehicle then you’re increasing your chances of being susceptible to a bad back. Remember that the joints in your back need to move. The more they move, the healthier they can be. Be sure to get up and stretch at regular intervals, take walks, or at a minimum adjust your body position every half an hour.

How can a physiotherapy clinic aid you with your lower back pain?

Physiotherapy treatment of low back pain can revive function to poorly moving spinal joints, as well as reduce muscle tension and boost your muscle strength. The results are improved movement, reduced nerve irritation and reduced discomfort.
