Does physiotherapy really work in getting relief from low back pain?
Low back pain is one of the most common health issues faced by people all over the world. This pain is often depressing and exhausting and physiotherapy is one of the widely acknowledged treatments for it. Today, almost every patient suffering from any type of lower back pain is advised physiotherapy for a certain time period as an initial conservative treatment option.
The role of physiotherapy for low back pain is considered to be the safest, quickest and most effective. Physiotherapy is used to decrease the back pain, increase function and teach the patient a maintenance program to prevent future reoccurrence of back problems.
Now, to know how physiotherapy helps in reducing the lower back pain, firstly we must know the causes of low back pain. Low back pain has a number of causes such as:
- It can occur due to a trauma, repetitive poor movement patterns or inactivity.
- Other than this, back muscle strains, ligament strains, poor posture, and bulging discs can also result in low back pain.
Now, most of the low back pains caused due to above-mentioned reasons will respond positively to physiotherapy treatment.
