Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, it is the most common reason for sick days at work and it is the third most common reason why people visit their doctor.
Back pain may be driven by several causes, whether you had an acute incident such as lifting something heavy, or your pain has developed over time, everyone’s pain and experience is very different. We are all unique, therefore a unique approach to treatment is needed.
Treatment
We always focus on identifying the cause, rather than treating the symptoms. Common treatment options would include:
- Assessment of body biomechanics, range of movement, and muscle function
- Soft tissue massage
- Manual mobilisation to improve stiffness
- Dry needling and acupuncture
- Exercise prescription
- Taping
- Lifestyle modifications
- Posture correction and changes
