What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a category of treatment that aims to help improve the function and movement of your muscles and joints. When you have back pain, a physiotherapist can support you in reducing that discomfort and get you back to prime mobility. They can also assist you in making lifestyle changes that caused your pain to avoid getting back to that state every again. These professionals use a broad range of treatments and techniques and custom their approaches based on individual needs. Those who should go see a physiotherapist are those who have non-specific lower back pain, sciatic pain, back pain that is caused by aging of the spinal discs, or spinal stenosis.
How Can Physiotherapy Help?
With physiotherapy, you can expect to have treatments that will be focused on exercise, mechanics, and posture training to eliminate current pain and prevent new pain from formulating. You may see a combination of manual therapy, such as hands-on mobilization of the sore joints in your back, movement exercises to restore motion while decreasing pain, and progressive strengthening exercises that focus on enhancing your core stability and endurance.
You may be wondering, why not just wait the pain out and see if it resolves itself. The problem with that is that waiting for your symptoms out may not actually fix the issue or bring to light the reason you obtained back pain in the first place. This very reason is why it is vital to be assessed professionally by a physiotherapist and getting targeted treatment plans rather than trying to manage it yourself.
They will be able to pinpoint the type of pain you have, how it occurred, and provide you with all the right exercises, stretches, and potential medications that will make it better.
