Low back pain is the most common problem we treat in our clinic
Everyday, our team of therapists all treat people living in Penticton who are struggling with low back pain. Low back pain will affect most people at some point in their life, and can come and go over time without any reason or rhyme, or obvious cause.
It’s very normal for people who have low back pain to think it will just go away by itself with rest, or it will be gone in the morning, but unfortunately, we have found this is often not the case and that not taking steps to treat the underlaying problem actually makes it worse it, and leads to further issues and pain down the line.
Does this sound like you?
As you might expect from their name, Athletic Therapists work with sports teams and athletes, both at pitch-side and in the clinic, to manage and treat musculoskeletal injuries. They are experts at assessing and treating sports injuries, but also have the expert knowledge to treat non-athletes with their injuries, such as low back pain, shoulder and neck pain, and knee problems.
How can I get rid of my back pain?
Most people who suffer from back pain believe it will just go away by itself, but unfortunately it can develop into a chronic problem which is either always there to some degree, or comes and goes every few months or years.
The key to resolving your back pain is to make a decision to get help. It’s human nature to procrastinate on things like this, but very often low back pain can be improved when your work with the right people and have the right treatment completed.
Come in and work with one of our physiotherapists, who will complete a thorough assessment of your low back and hips, and will begin a hands-on treatment plan which is specific to you and your problem.
Complete a course of treatment, and learn the right exercises to do at home. There is a lot of information online about different exercise routines and how to manage low back pain, but nothing is better then receiving the right exercises from a professional who has assessed you.
