FAQ(Frequently Asked Questions)
Why does my back hurt when sitting too long?
Sitting for long periods increases pressure on the spine and surrounding muscles. Poor posture can make this worse, leading to stiffness or pain. Physiotherapy helps by correcting posture, strengthening core muscles, and teaching simple stretches to reduce discomfort.
Can physiotherapy help with a slipped or herniated disc?
Yes. Physiotherapists use manual therapy, targeted exercises, and pain-relieving techniques such as acupuncture or electrotherapy to reduce symptoms from a slipped or herniated disc. Treatment focuses on easing pain, improving movement, and preventing further irritation of the affected nerve.
What’s the difference between back pain and sciatica?
Back pain is discomfort in the muscles, joints, or spine. Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve is irritated, often from a disc problem, causing pain that can travel from the lower back into the legs. Physiotherapy can reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and relieve nerve pressure.
Why is my back pain worse in the morning?
Morning back pain is often caused by stiffness in the joints and muscles after lying still overnight. Conditions such as arthritis or poor mattress support can also contribute. Physiotherapy helps with mobility, strengthening, and lifestyle advice to reduce morning pain.
When should I see a physiotherapist for back pain?
If your back pain has lasted more than a few days, is interfering with daily activities, or radiates into the legs, it’s best to seek professional help. Early physiotherapy treatment can prevent symptoms from becoming long-term and help you recover faster.
Don’t Let Back Pain Hold You Back
Back pain can stop you enjoying your hobbies, work, and daily life — but it doesn’t have to. With the right treatment, recovery is possible.
