Low Back Pain and Stiffness

Managing back pain effectively involves a comprehensive approach, and we the physiotherapists play a crucial role in helping patients find relief. Here are some strategies that our expert physiotherapists commonly use in our Facility.

Assessment and Individualized Treatment Plans:

We, at Shri SiyaRam Clinic, begin by assessing the specific cause of the back pain and neck pain. This assessment includes understanding the patient’s medical history, conducting physical examinations, and identifying any contributing factors (such as poor posture, muscle imbalances, or spinal issues).

Based on the assessment, we develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s needs.

Education and Advice:

We educate patients about their condition, emphasizing self-management strategies.

We provide advice on posture, ergonomics, and lifestyle modifications to prevent exacerbation of pain.

Manual Therapy:

Hands-on techniques, such as joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and spinal manipulation, can help reduce pain and improve mobility.

Manual therapy aims to restore normal movement patterns and alleviate muscle tension.

Exercise Prescription:

Specific exercises are prescribed to strengthen the core, back, and supporting muscles, we prescribe exercises to strengthen the neck, upper back, and supporting muscles.

These exercises improve stability, flexibility, and overall function.

Regular practice helps prevent recurrences and promotes long-term relief.

Modalities and Pain Management:

In our Clinic, we may use modalities like heat, cold, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation to manage pain and inflammation.

We also guide patients on proper use of heat packs or ice packs at home.

Posture Correction and Ergonomics:

Correcting poor posture and teaching ergonomic principles (especially for those with desk jobs) is essential.

Our Expert Physios advise patients on maintaining neutral spine alignment during daily activities.

Functional Rehabilitation:

We focus on functional movements relevant to the patient’s lifestyle.

For example, if someone has back pain related to lifting heavy objects, we will teach safe lifting techniques.
