Back pain can affect your work, sleep, movement and everyday activities. It may be related to muscle strain, prolonged sitting, posture, joint problems, disc-related conditions, sciatica or other factors.
At Dr Jha Physiotherapy & Acupuncture Centre, we take an individualised approach to back pain. Depending on your condition and assessment, treatment may include acupuncture, physiotherapy, rehabilitation exercises and supportive techniques.
How Can Acupuncture Help With Back Pain?
Acupuncture uses very fine, sterile, single-use needles inserted at specific points on the body.
Acupuncture may be used as part of a pain-management approach and may help some people with pain, muscle tension and movement-related discomfort.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), treatment is personalised according to the individual's symptoms and overall pattern.
How Can Physiotherapy Help With Back Pain?
Physiotherapy focuses on improving movement and function. Depending on your condition, it may include exercises and techniques to improve mobility, flexibility, strength, posture and movement patterns.
Physiotherapy can also be an important part of rehabilitation when back pain is affecting your daily activities.
Our Approach to Back Pain Treatment
Your treatment plan is based on your individual symptoms and assessment. Depending on your needs, your treatment may include:
• Assessment of your symptoms and movement
• Acupuncture for appropriate pain-management needs
• Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
• Mobility and strengthening exercises
• Postural and movement advice
• Home exercises where appropriate
• Guidance for returning to normal activities
Can Acupuncture and Physiotherapy Be Combined?
In some cases, acupuncture and physiotherapy can be used together as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Acupuncture may be used to support pain management and help with muscle tension, while physiotherapy can focus on movement, strength, flexibility and rehabilitation.
The combination and sequence of treatments will depend on your individual condition.
When Should You Seek Medical Attention for Back Pain?
Back pain should not always be managed with acupuncture or physiotherapy alone.
Seek prompt medical assessment if you experience symptoms such as significant or progressive weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or saddle area, severe pain following significant trauma, fever with back pain, or severe unexplained or rapidly worsening symptoms.
Persistent or recurrent back pain should also be appropriately assessed by a healthcare professional.
