Introduction
Back pain is one of the most common health conditions in India, with an estimated 1.8
million people suffering from it. While there are many treatments available, physiotherapy is
one of the most effective ways to manage your back pain and prevent flare-ups.
Different types of back pain need different types of
treatment.
Acute and chronic back pain are two different types of back pain.
- Acute back pain is caused by an injury or accident, such as a slip on ice or fall from
height. Acute injuries to the spinal cord may lead to acute onset (immediate)
symptoms such as tingling and numbness in an arm or leg, weakness in one side of
your body, difficulty walking up stairs or down steps, loss of bowel control (diarrhea),
loss of bladder control (urinary leakage), dizziness and nausea/vomiting. The
symptoms usually occur within 48 hours after injury or fall but can last longer than 2
weeks if they are severe enough. - Chronic back pain is ongoing discomfort that lasts longer than 3 months without
getting better with treatment. It doesn’t go away on its own so it needs medical
attention through physiotherapy sessions which focus on helping muscles relax so
they don’t tense up again when you move around normally again after rehabilitation
exercises like range-of-motion exercises will help relieve some tension without
causing further damage to tissue structures like tendons which connect muscle
groups together within joints throughout our bodies’ musculoskeletal system including
those found inside walls – known collectively as extensor muscles – both large joints
like ankles/knees/shins etc… small ones like wrists.. elbows… shoulders etc…
Acute back pain is the kind of pain you feel after an
accident or injury, and it doesn’t last for very long.
Acute back pain can be painful, but it’s not dangerous. It’s best to treat acute back pain at
home by keeping your spine mobile, resting and applying cold packs. If you need to go to a
doctor for treatment of your acute back pain, make sure to take some time off from work as a
precaution against worsening symptoms while waiting for medical care (in case they don’t
disappear).
Chronic back pain is the kind of pain that lasts for more
than three months.
Chronic back pain can be caused by many things, including arthritis, scoliosis or injuries. It
may also be due to chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease that affect your bones
and muscles. If left untreated, it can cause severe disability in some people and make it
difficult for you to work or enjoy life as usual.
Physiotherapy can help with both kinds of back pain,
but the treatment they use needs to be different
depending on the kind of pain you have.
Physiotherapy is a type of treatment that can help with back pain. It can be used to treat
acute and chronic back pain, as well as neck and shoulder pain.
Physiotherapists use a combination of hands-on procedures, exercise and TENS
(transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) treatment to treat your condition.
The main goals are to reduce inflammation in your back so that it feels better; reduce
swelling so that you have more mobility; improve muscle strength or range of motion in your
spine area; improve quality of life by helping you feel less uncomfortable when moving
around or sitting down for long periods at a time
When physiotherapists treat people with chronic back
pain, they focus on re-training muscles that are either
too weak or too tight, to prevent flare-ups from
happening in the future. They use a combination of
hands-on procedures such as massaging and
mobilizing, as well as exercises to improve posture and
flexibility to strengthen core muscles and support your
spine. Your physio may also recommend TENS
(transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) treatment
to help manage your back pain.

The types of back pain include:
● Disc protrusion – the disc between two vertebrae has slipped out of place, causing
you to feel pain in your lower back or leg muscles when you move.
● Bulging/herniated disc – fluid has leaked from inside a herniated disc and caused
inflammation around it, which can cause severe pain in your lower back or leg
muscles when you move (this type is rare).
