According to research, 80% of the population would experience at least 1 episode of lower back pain in our lives. It is scary statistics and sometimes a scary experience. As you may know, there are many types of back pain - the "scary" sciatica or a simple back strain. No matter which type, our physios are professionally trained to educate you on what your type of back pain is and what you need to expect from it.
Your back pain can be caused by many factors and that "bending to pick up something from the ground this morning" might only be a trigger rather than the cause of your back pain. At PHC Physio, we pride ourselves in understanding the WHY of your injury so understand which part of your lifestyle may be causing the pain and how we can look at doing things differently to lower the risk of future occurrences. Treating back pain is not only to relieve symptoms, but also to have strategies and knowledge to prevent the next episode.
