Back Pain Treatment

End the Ache – Comprehensive Relief for Back Pain

Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting nearly everyone at some point in their lives. Whether it’s a sudden "tweak" from lifting something heavy or a chronic ache from years of desk work, back pain shouldn't be your "normal." Dr. Ushna provides specialized physiotherapy to reduce pain, strengthen your core, and protect your spine for years to come.

Common Types of Back Pain We Treat

We offer expert diagnosis and treatment for various spinal conditions:

Lower Back Pain (Lumbago): Dull or sharp pain in the lumbar region.
Herniated or Bulging Discs: Disc issues that can cause localized pain or leg symptoms.
Muscle Strains: Tears or overstretching of the muscles and ligaments in the back.
Spondylosis: Age-related wear and tear of the spinal vertebrae.
Ankylosing Spondylitis: Inflammatory conditions affecting spinal mobility.
Post-Surgical Rehab: Guided recovery after laminectomy or spinal fusion.

Our Back Pain Recovery Strategy

Mechanical Assessment: We determine if your pain is coming from a joint, a disc, or a muscle.
Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to improve spinal joint mobility and reduce muscle guarding.
Core Stability Training: Teaching you how to activate your deep abdominal muscles to act as a "natural back brace."
Flexibility Work: Releasing tight hips and hamstrings that often pull on the lower back.
Lifting Mechanics: Coaching on proper body mechanics for daily tasks like lifting groceries or kids.

Why Choose Physiotherapy Over Medication?

Fix the Cause: Painkillers only mask the symptom; we fix the mechanical movement problem.
Avoid Surgery: Most back pain cases can be resolved through high-quality physical therapy.
Long-term Strength: We give you the tools to keep your back strong so the pain doesn’t return.
Personalized Care: No “one size fits all” approach—your treatment matches your specific diagnosis.

Should I get an MRI before starting physiotherapy?

Not necessarily. Research shows that most back pain can be successfully treated based on a clinical physical exam. If we suspect a serious issue, we will refer you for imaging.

Is heat or ice better for back pain?

Generally, ice is best for the first 48 hours of a new injury to reduce swelling. Heat is better for chronic, stiff muscles. We will guide you on the best protocol for your specific stage.

Can poor core strength cause back pain?

Absolutely. If your core is weak, your spine has to take all the weight of your body, leading to strain and pain.

Will I have to stop exercising while my back heals?

We rarely recommend complete rest. "Relative rest" or modifying your movements is usually better for spinal health than lying in bed.
