Back Pain Treatment
Relieving lumbar strain, sciatica, and posture-related lower back pain through core stabilization in Namakkal.
Understanding Back Pain & Sciatica
Lower back pain is a leading cause of activity limitation globally. It can stem from a variety of factors: poor core stability, lumbar muscle strain from improper lifting, spinal disc degeneration, or nerve root compression.
Sciatica is a specific condition where a herniated disc or muscle spasm presses on the sciatic nerve, triggering radiating electric-like pain, burning, or tingling down the buttocks and leg.
How Physiotherapy Helps Back Pain
Physical rehabilitation is the primary recommended treatment for lower back pain. We focus on restoring mobility in the lumbar vertebrae and pelvis, relieving compression off nerve paths, and strengthening the core "muscular corset" to shield your spine from daily loads.
Our Treatment Protocol at Siragugal
- Manual Decompression & Mobilization: Relieving facet joint locks.
- Core Stabilization Training: Activating the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles.
- Therapeutic Modalities: Lumbar traction, TENS, or heating pads to relax spasms.
- Lifting Mechanics Re-education: Proper squats and postures to safely handle daily weights.
Expected Recovery Timeline
Simple mechanical lumbar strains respond well and heal within 2 to 3 weeks. Radiating nerve pain (sciatica) or disc herniation requires a comprehensive, structured program spanning 6 to 8 weeks.
Home Exercises & Care Tips
- Cat-Cow Stretch: On hands and knees, slowly arch your back towards the ceiling, then let your belly sink towards the floor. Perform 10 repetitions slowly.
- Bird-Dog Exercise: On hands and knees, extend your right arm forward and left leg backward. Hold for 3 seconds. Alternate sides. Perform 10 reps total.
- Pelvic Tilts: Lie on your back with knees bent. Flatten your back against the floor by tightening your lower abdominal muscles. Hold for 5 seconds. Repeat 10 times.
When to Seek Urgent Care
Seek immediate emergency medical attention if your back pain is accompanied by loss of bowel or bladder control (Cauda Equina Syndrome), progressive weakness in both legs, numbness in the saddle area (inner thighs/groin), or if the pain is constant and wakes you up at night.
