WHAT ARE THE COMMON SYMPTOMS OF BACK PAIN?

Back pain or low back pain is one of the most common conditions that we treat in physiotherapy. Common symptoms include a dull or strong ache in the lower back that gets more painful when you move and prevents you straightening up, central pain or pain either sides of the spine or pain that radiates down into the buttocks, the back of the thigh or even the lower leg (sciatica).

If you experience any of the following symptoms, please get in touch.

What treatments are best for
back pain?

Response physiotherapists use a wide range of treatments and techniques to help with back pain, as well as offering advice on looking after your back. Your physiotherapist may suggest treatments such as hands-on mobilisation and manipulation of the joints, spinal traction, electrotherapy, or K-taping depending on your problem. Back pain treatment is usually most effective when it involves strengthening exercises. Your physiotherapist may prescribe stretches and exercise programs to strengthen the core, improve or restore mobility in the back and address any underlying imbalances or postural problems.

What causes back pain or low back pain?

Back pain is very common, but its exact cause is often unclear. Pain may be a result of damage to a muscle, ligament, spinal disc, nerve or bone, which would have happened following a simple movement like bending or twisting. Back pain may also be a result of degenerative or wear-and-tear changes within the spine, which can worsen over time, causing inflammation and compression within associated nerves and soft tissues.

How can Physiotherapy help back pain?

Our physiotherapist will combine their in-depth knowledge of the body and how it works with specialised hands-on clinical skills. Depending on your condition, the root cause of the pain and goals, your physiotherapist will devise a personalised treatment to help your recovery.

I've had three sessions with Jamie to aid in my recovery of a neck and shoulder injury. From day one Jamie was clearly very knowledgeable and professional. Explanations for the movements he put me through were given and stretches to carry out in my own time to keep on top of the injury provided. On top of the excellent professionalism, I found Jamie very personable and easy to chat with as he carried out his work. Wouldn't hesitate on using this company again and would ask for Jamie to be the man to set me straight. Keep up the good work.

I was referred to Response Physio by my insurance company as I was not quite getting the help I needed from the NHS. Great experience from the beginning; friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff, clean and modern facilities and best of all, my injury is fixed without the use of painkillers and I have a great aftercare program to make sure it stays that way. Special shout out to the physio Uhr who really is an asset to the clinic. Highly recommended.

Lonnie C

Excellent physio, my long-standing shoulder problem that I never thought would resolve is already 90% improved after only a few weeks and getting better all the time. I'm amazed! Online consultation is really simple and works well; friendly and effective service. Highly recommend.

Sally Campbell

Charlotte was fantastic, providing expertise and a professional approach throughout the consultations I have with her. She quickly identified the nature of the problem, reassuring me that there wasn't anything serious going on and provided me with appropriate exercises to complete. Having followed her professional advice, I am now pain-free and the problem is well on the way to being completely resolved. Thanks, Charlotte - you're a gem!

Tina Byrom

Thank you for all the help on my tight hamstrings and for the explanations. I understand now how my injury affected my whole body. Very professional, definitely recommend!

Bartosz Lesniak

Probably the best physiotherapy I have experienced. Vicky Exarchou has an in-depth knowledge of the body and how to fix it when things go wrong. I have attended the clinic for two separate injuries and her approach to stretching and exercise has healed and resolved the root cause in both cases. Highly Recommended. Rows
