What causes back pain?

There are several reasons why you may be experiencing back pain. Some of the most common conditions that Choice Health Centre physiotherapists regularly treat at our Bedford, Dartmouth, Fall River & Halifax, Nova Scotia clinic are:

Herniated discs

These can cause significant pain in the back and radiculopathy in your thigh, leg, or foot, as well as other underlying issues. A herniated disc can also cause sciatica, which is quite painful!

The good news is that physiotherapy at our Bedford, Dartmouth, Fall River & Halifax, Nova Scotia clinic can help you if you’re struggling with any of these conditions involving your back.

Poor Posture

Back pain can be caused by poor posture. If your posture is incorrect, it can strain other parts of your body, causing pain, inflammation, or dysfunction.

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)

Degenerative disc disease is another major cause of back discomfort as we age. A dull, painful ache in the lower back is familiar in people with this condition, as is difficulty standing or walking for lengthy periods.

Sprain/Strain

A back sprain occurs when you overstretch the ligaments in your spine, whereas a back strain occurs when you overstretch your back muscles.

Finding back pain relief with physiotherapy in Bedford, Dartmouth, Fall River & Halifax, Nova Scotia

Your search for true back pain relief can end once and for all when you walk through the doors of Choice Health Centre. We’re here to support you every step of the way with your treatment and make sure you’re feeling better in no time!

Not sure what to expect with your treatment? No problem – we can explain. When you arrive, you’ll have an assessment with one of our clinicians. They’ll assess your range of motion, pain symptoms, how your body moves, and ask you questions about your medical history. All of this is done to determine the source of your back pain.

After your initial evaluation, a treatment plan will be created based on how you developed back pain, the particular region, and your medical history.

The idea is to relieve your pain as quickly as possible while simultaneously strengthening your core muscles to prevent further injury.

We’ll also show you how to use ergonomics to protect your spine while doing everyday tasks like driving or sitting at a computer. It is extremely essential that you complete the entire course of your therapy sessions to ensure that you do not re-injure your back!
