Low Back Pain: How PhysioCall.com.au Can Help You Relieve Pain and Regain Strength
Outline
Introduction
Lower back pain can affect daily activities, work, exercise and sleep. At PhysioCall, our physiotherapists assess your symptoms, movement and goals at our South Gladstone clinic.
Your appointment gives you time to discuss what is troubling you and the options for your care. Where appropriate, your plan may include hands-on treatment, exercises, education and rehabilitation, with progress reviewed over time.
Common Causes of Low Back Pain
Lower back pain can be associated with several factors. Your physiotherapist can assess your symptoms and discuss appropriate care:
Poor Posture: Prolonged sitting, standing, or improper lifting techniques can strain the lower back.
Muscle Strains or Ligament Sprains: Overuse or sudden movements can cause soft tissue injuries.
Herniated or Bulging Discs: Pressure on spinal discs can lead to nerve compression and pain.
Sciatica: Pain radiating down the leg caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve.
Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the spine can cause stiffness and discomfort.
Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: Misalignment or inflammation in the joint connecting the spine to the pelvis.
Stress and Tension: Emotional stress can lead to tightness and pain in the lower back.
No matter the cause, our 3-Step System is designed to provide effective relief and long-term results.
The PhysioCall.com.au 3-Step System for Low Back Pain Relief
Our approach to lower back pain includes assessment, treatment and a rehabilitation plan tailored to your needs and goals:
Step 1: Get Out of Pain
The first step is to relieve your pain and discomfort as quickly as possible. We use our Hands On Therapy approach, which combines multiple evidence-based techniques in one session to provide immediate relief.
Hands On Therapy may include:
Deep Tissue Massage: To release muscle tension and improve mobility.
Dry Needling/Acupuncture: To target trigger points and reduce pain.
Cupping Therapy: To improve circulation and relieve tightness.
Joint Manipulation: To restore proper alignment and reduce stiffness.
Stretching: To improve flexibility and reduce muscle tightness.
This holistic approach ensures that we address the root causes of your pain while providing immediate relief.
Step 2: Rehabilitation
Once your pain is under control, the next step is to focus on rehabilitation. This involves strengthening and retraining the muscles, joints, and ligaments in your lower back, hips, and core to prevent the pain from returning.
We use a combination of:
Individual Rehabilitation Exercises: Exercises selected to support your movement, strength and activity goals.
Ground Up Therapy (Lower Limb): A unique approach that focuses on building strength and stability in the lower body, starting from the foundation of your hips, knees, and feet.
Rehabilitation is essential for addressing the underlying causes of your low back pain, such as muscle imbalances, poor posture, or joint dysfunction. By restoring proper movement patterns and building strength, we help you achieve long-term results.
Step 3: Maintenance
Ongoing care is reviewed according to your symptoms, progress and goals. At PhysioCall, you can also ask our team about the Get Out of Pain Pack and whether it suits your needs.
What’s included in the Get Out of Pain Pack?
5 Discounted Physiotherapy Sessions: These sessions can be used at any time during the year to address any flare-ups or maintain your progress.
Performance Wave Formula: We use this innovative system to calculate the high and low peaks of human stress, helping you determine the best times to schedule maintenance sessions.
By staying proactive with regular maintenance, you can prevent future issues, manage stress, and keep your lower back feeling its best.
