Low back pain

Low back pain affects a large majority of people throughout their lifetime. 

The lumbar spine consists of the five largest vertebrae in the spine and connects the rib cage to the pelvis.  Common conditions in this region include nerve root compression, intervertebral disc and facet joint disorders. 

There are many causes of low back pain such as muscle spasm due to postural alterations, a pinched nerve or osteoarthritis. 

Physiotherapy can be very helpful to relieve the symptoms of lower backache. With a correct diagnosis, hands-on treatment, postural advice, and an exercise programme tailored to your needs you can get back to your usual fitness level and effects can be enduring.
