Nothing makes you feel more helpless and uncomfortable than low back pain. Relief can often seem unachievable, whether you’re sitting down or standing up. Often even lying down fails to make much of a difference.
Lower back pain can occur because of over exertion. Sometimes, it happens as a result of a sports injury. Unfortunately, there is often no simple cure. At Turramurra Sports Spinal Physiotherapy, we know that it can become more manageable with certain treatments. We take the time to work out what is the correct treatment for your particular condition.
What Causes Low Back Pain?
Back pain can be due to a number of reasons. Probably one of the most common cause is simply “wear and tear” where degeneration in the spine causes the joints to become stiff and tight. Associated with this can be stiffness and tightness in the muscles.
Sometimes the tendons and ligaments can be sprained producing inflammation and pain. Other times you can injure a disc in the low back that can compress the delicate nerves running into the leg. Underlying all of these issues can be weakness in the muscles that stabilise the low back, making it more susceptible to injury.
While there are many possible causes for your back pain, we will assess you to determine the cause of the pain in your case and then produce a treatment plan to get you relief.
