Back pain treatment in physiotherapy involves a multifaceted approach to address the underlying causes of pain and improve overall function.
Treatment may include manual therapy techniques such as spinal manipulation and mobilization to restore normal joint movement and alleviate pain. Additionally, therapeutic exercises are prescribed to improve strength, flexibility, and posture, which can help prevent further episodes of back pain.
Modalities such as heat or ice therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation may also be used to manage pain and reduce inflammation. Patient education on proper body mechanics and ergonomic principles is an important component of back pain treatment to prevent re-injury.
