Back and Neck Pain | ||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nine out of ten
people develop back or neck pain during their lifetime. Back pain can be
debilitating, affecting all aspects of your life. Surgery is only
necessary for a minority of back pain sufferers while the majority use
other means to manage their back problem. The risk factors for developing
back pain include a family history of back pain, prolonged standing or
sitting, heavy repetitive work, obesity, poor general fitness and even
smoking. At Surrey Physiotherapy our experienced physiotherapists will discuss with you how your back pain affects your lifestyle and examine the joints, muscles and nerves of your back in detail. They will identify factors affecting your back problem such as localised areas of stiffness in the spine due to prolonged sitting, or specific muscle weaknesses that have developed over a period of time. We use a number of methods to successfully treat back and neck pain and these include deep soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, manipulation, traction and electrotherapy. No two individuals with back pain have the same problems and therefore individual management plans are developed. We are able to give specialist advice on exercises to strengthen your back, returning to sport and general exercise, beds and pillows, work stations and working positions.
