Managing Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is one of the most prevalent complaints, affecting people of all ages and activity levels. It can be caused by a variety of conditions, ranging from muscle strain to more complex spinal issues. At our clinic, we provide targeted physiotherapy treatments to address the root causes of lower back pain and help you regain mobility, strength, and a pain-free lifestyle.

Common Causes of Lower Back Pain

  • Muscle Strain: Overuse, poor posture, or sudden movements can cause the muscles and ligaments in the lower back to stretch or tear, leading to pain and stiffness.
  • Herniated Disc: When one of the discs in the spine bulges or ruptures, it can press on nearby nerves, causing lower back pain and radiating discomfort in the legs (sciatica).
  • Sciatica: This occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, often due to a herniated disc, leading to sharp pain that radiates from the lower back down to the legs.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: Over time, the discs in the spine can wear down, leading to pain, reduced mobility, and stiffness in the lower back.
  • Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: The sacroiliac joint connects the lower spine to the pelvis. When this joint becomes inflamed or misaligned, it can cause pain in the lower back and hips.
  • Spinal Stenosis: A narrowing of the spinal canal can compress the nerves, leading to lower back pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs.
  • Poor Posture and Ergonomics: Sitting for long periods with poor posture, especially in jobs that require desk work, can contribute to chronic lower back pain.
