Back Pain and Its Complications:
Back pain, specifically lower back pain, is one of the predominant reasons people seek physiotherapy treatment. As many as 85% to 90% of people experience it at some point in their lives, making it a significant health concern. The pain can manifest in various ways:
Muscular Aches: General discomfort in the back muscles.
Shooting or Stabbing Sensations: Acute pain typically resulting from nerve involvement.
Radiating Pain: Pain that travels, often down a leg, due to conditions like sciatica.
Pain Exacerbated by Physical Activities: Movements like bending, twisting, lifting, standing, or walking might intensify the discomfort.
Additional conditions related to back pain that physiotherapy can treat include:
Sciatica: Pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve.
Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related changes in the spinal discs.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons.
Repetitive Strain Injuries: Conditions caused by repeated motions over time.
