Physiotherapy for Low Back Pain Relief

What causes back pain?

One of the most common causes of lower back pain is a pulled or torn muscle or ligament. This occurs when the muscle or ligament is stretched too far. Lifting heavy objects, making sudden movements and even living with bad posture can cause back pain. But various health conditions such as degenerative disc disease, scoliosis and osteoarthritis can also cause back pain.

Typical symptoms of back pain might include:

  • Shooting or stabbing sensation when moving, lifting or coughing
  • Persistent muscle aches
  • Limited flexibility in the back
  • Sciatica, which is back pain caused by a nerve running from the lower back down each leg

If you’re experiencing any of the above, Physiomed can offer a variety of proven therapies to treat back pain, including:

  • Physiotherapy:Addresses soreness and stiffness with unique exercises to stretch the muscles
  • Chiropractic Care:Improves back function by using the hands to apply a controlled force to specific joints in the spine
  • Spinal Decompression:Relieves lower back pain by using a motorized table to stretch out the spine, taking pressure off the spinal discs
  • Orthotics:Customized devices alleviate back pain by raising the arches of the feet and correcting structural imbalances to improve posture
  • Massage Therapy:Relieves stress-related pain using strategic massage techniques by a Registered Massage Therapist
