Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a doctor. Studies suggest that nearly 80% of people experience significant back pain at some point in their lives. The good news is that most cases of back pain can be effectively treated with physiotherapy — without surgery or long-term medication.
Why Does Back Pain Occur?
Back pain can arise from poor posture, muscle strain, disc problems, nerve compression, or conditions like sciatica and spondylosis. Sitting for long hours, lifting heavy objects incorrectly, and lack of exercise are common triggers.
How Physiotherapy Helps
At Care to Cure, our physiotherapists assess the root cause of your back pain and design a personalised treatment plan. Techniques used include:
- Joint Mobilisation: Gentle movement of spinal joints to restore normal range of motion.
- Dry Needling: Fine needles inserted into trigger points to release muscle tension.
- Myofascial Release: Soft tissue therapy to relieve tightness in the fascia surrounding muscles.
- Therapeutic Exercises: Core strengthening and postural correction exercises to prevent recurrence.
When to Seek Help
If your back pain lasts more than two weeks, radiates to your legs, or affects your daily activities, you should consult a physiotherapist immediately. Early intervention gives the best results.
