Back Pain

If you’ve got lower back pain, stiffness or an ache – it’s very tempting to think that it’s nothing, that it will go away on its own. Or, you pass it off as having just “slept awkwardly”, or that it’s just a “spasm” or a bit of stiffness that “everyone” your age suffers from…

There’s no obvious reason why it happened – but it doesn’t seem to be shifting

If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone – and we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, Lower Back Pain and Sciatica is THE most common problem that we see in our physiotherapy  clinic

Most people think that when they get Back Pain, it’s just going to go away on it’s own.

That they’ll wake up one morning and like “magic”, it’ll be as if back pain never happened… But then 6 months later you’re still living with back pain – often even worse than it was when it came on.

Does That Sound Like You?

Another scenario we see all the time in our Physiotherapy Clinic is when people go to the Doctors, and the Doctor tells them to rest and “try these painkillers” and “see how it goes”.

But this is rarely ever the best advice and often 6 weeks later, they end up going back to the Doctor again because it hasn’t got any better. Worse, they’re often given yet another prescription of even stronger pills, and advised MORE rest. This is madness and explains why so many people aged 50+ are suffering with chronic lower back pain.

Has This Type Of Thing Happened To You?

Why else does back pain last longer than it should do? Well, it’s easy to get confused because you’ve been told different things, by different people. There’s lots of people out there who are happy to dispense advice – but not all of it is credible.

Maybe you think your back pain was caused by doing something – like lifting or sleeping awkwardly – but really it was caused by years and years of poor posture that caused the muscles in your l​ower back to become weak and the lifting of the awkward sleeping position was just the EFFECT of that.

If you don’t know what you’re doing – back pain can be very confusing and because of this, many people just end up accepting it as ‘part of life’ – as if it’s normal, and ‘just the way it is’.

Do You Feel That Way Too?

This is Steve. Steve suffers with low back pain!

Don’t Be Steve!

Steve is dealing with annoying low back pain for months now that is not going away.

He gets intense low back pain with prolonged sitting, when he gets up out of a chair at work, when he is walking outside, and he even sometimes gets pain radiating into his glute and leg.

He can’t exercise anymore.  He can’t enjoy his favorite activities and live an active lifestyle like he wants too.

He has problems traveling now due to his pain and he can’t enjoy time with his family without getting bad flare ups of debilitating low back pain.

He doesn’t want surgery.  He doesn’t want injections, but he doesn’t know what else to do?

He is hoping that his low back pain is just going to go away. But it’s not.  Don’t be like Steve

.  Don’t be like Steve

1. You thought it would go away on its own – but it didn’t​
2. You went to the Doctor who told you to rest and take painkillers – but the pills did nothing to help your back, and as soon as they wore off chronic Back pain struck again
3. A family member, or friend, told you that everybody gets Back pain as they get older, so you just accepted it
4. You tried other Healthcare Professionals or a Physiotherapist in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help
5. You tried YouTube exercises but they either didn’t do a thing or made your Back pain ten times worse
6. You thought it would be a good idea to rest because your Back pain was so bad, but all that did was make it feel even more stiff and tight
7. You decided to get a few “massages” hoping that would fix the pain, but all they did was feel nice and relaxing, and didn’t do anything to fix it long term…

Everything you need to know about Back Pain and Sciatica … And what solutions it may offer YOU

BACK PAIN

Back pain is a relatively common complaint that may be caused by a number of conditions and circumstances. In many cases, low back pain is the result of strain, overuse, poor biomechanics, work place, or posture. However, low back pain can also be caused by underlying conditions affecting certain parts of the hip that can be missed. When this occurs, the underlying condition must be treated to restore proper alignment and functioning. Medical professionals such as physiotherapist will work to identify potential causes of low back pain to design and implement an appropriate treatment.

There are several conditions that may be related to your low back pain, such as:

SI Joint Dysfunction

Degenerative disk disease

Lumbar spinal stenosis

Fractures

Herniated disk

Osteoarthritis

Osteoporosis

How Can a Physiotherapist Help Treat My Low Back Pain?

Your physiotherapist can help you improve or restore mobility and reduce low back pain—in many cases, without expensive surgery or the side effects of medications. If you are having low back pain right now:

Stay active, and do as much of your normal routine as possible (bed rest for longer than a day can actually slow down your recovery.)

If your pain lasts more than a few days or gets worse, schedule an appointment to see your Physiotherapist.

Not all low back pain is the same, so your treatment should be tailored to for your specific symptoms and condition. Once the examination is complete, your Physiotherapist will evaluate the results, identify the factors that have contributed to your specific back problem, and design an individualized treatment plan for your specific back problem. Treatments may include:

• Manual therapy, including spinal manipulation, to improve the mobility of joints and soft tissues
• Specific strengthening and flexibility exercises
• Education about how you can take better care of your back
• Training for proper lifting, bending, and sitting; for doing chores both at work and in the home; and for proper sleeping positions
• Assistance in creating a safe and effective physical activity program to improve your overall health
• Use of ice or heat treatments or electrical stimulation to help relieve pain

Can Low Back Pain be Prevented?

As experts in restoring and improving mobility and movement in people’s lives, Physiotherapists play an important role not only in treating persistent or recurrent low back pain, but also in preventing it and reducing your risk of having it come back. Physiotherapists can teach you how to use the following strategies to prevent back pain:

• Use good body positioning at work, home, or during leisure activities.
• Keep the load close to your body during lifting.
• Ask for help before lifting heavy objects.
• Maintain a regular physical fitness regimen—staying active can help to prevent injuries.

There is evolving evidence suggesting that the best strategy in preventing disability and care-seeking for low back pain is simply understanding what we are learning about the topic of pain. To learn more, read more about pain.

I was diagnosed with lumbosacral disc extrusion and herniation around my L3,L4,L5 Spine, from the MRI Scan and I have been battling with back pain for more than 1 year now and I was recommended Amazing physiotherapy by a friend, initially I was still in a lot of pains and had to plan a surgery in India. The surgery was cancelled and I had to continue with Physio with Dr Nnamdi. I must attest to the professionalism and dedication of the experts, i got good results in 4 months. I can sit; stand for as long as I want now, I have also adjusted my lifestyle. I will advise anyone with such pain to explore physiotherapy plus daily Exercises and prayers.

I had severe back pain and leg pain which resulted in a foot drop and I was diagnosed with a degenerative disc disease from the MRI Scan which has bulged into the nerve of my left leg. The surgeon suggested surgery as the only solution with no guarantee of full recovery, I found Amazing Physiotherapy and decided to try them, the treatment I received was very personalized, Dr Nnamdi took time to attend to me and followed up on my progress from time to time. Initially I couldn’t wear my shoes. But now I can wear it as long as I want, I stand as long as I want, I exercise more now without pains. Anybody with such back pain should please see Amazing Physiotherapy and I can assure you will go home smiling and happy
