Lower back pain is one of the most common health concerns, affecting millions of people worldwide. At York Rehab Clinic, we specialize in treating lower back pain using a combination of osteopathy and physiotherapy to provide long-term relief and improved mobility.
Causes of Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain can stem from a variety of causes, including:
– Muscle Strain:
Overstretching or tearing of the muscles and ligaments.
– Herniated Disk: Displacement
of the spinal disks, causing pressure on surrounding nerves.
– Poor
Posture: Slouching or improper body mechanics, leading to spinal
stress.
– Degenerative Disk Disease:
Age-related wear and tear of the spinal discs.
– Sciatica: Compression of the
sciatic nerve, resulting in pain radiating from the lower back to the legs.
– Arthritis:
Inflammation of joints, including the spine, can lead to stiffness and
discomfort.
Symptoms of Lower Back Pain
The symptoms of lower back pain vary depending on the underlying cause. Common
signs include:
– Persistent aching or stiffness in the lower back
–
Sharp pain in the lower back that worsens with movement
– Limited range of
motion
– Pain radiating down the legs (often due to sciatica)

spasms or tenderness in the lower back region
Treatment at York Rehab Clinic
At York Rehab Clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to lower back pain treatment by combining osteopathy and physiotherapy. These therapies are designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and address the root cause of discomfort.
Osteopathy for Lower Back Pain
Osteopathy focuses on the musculoskeletal system, targeting joints, muscles, and
connective tissues to restore balance. Our osteopaths use hands-on techniques
such as:
– Gentle manipulation of the spine to improve alignment and reduce
nerve compression.
– Myofascial release to reduce tension and improve blood
circulation.
– Soft tissue techniques to alleviate muscle tightness and
enhance mobility.
Osteopathic treatment helps to relieve pain, correct posture, and restore normal function, all while promoting the body’s natural healing process.
Physiotherapy for Lower Back Pain
Physiotherapy plays a critical role in strengthening the muscles that support the
lower back and improving flexibility. Our physiotherapists at York Rehab Clinic
design personalized rehabilitation plans that include:
– Exercise therapy to
strengthen the core muscles and improve spinal stability.
– Manual therapy
techniques such as joint mobilization and massage to reduce pain and restore
range of motion.
– Postural correction exercises to prevent further strain
and promote proper alignment.
– Heat and cold therapy to reduce inflammation
and promote healing.
By combining osteopathy and physiotherapy, our team ensures a holistic approach to recovery, focusing not only on relieving pain but also on preventing future injuries.
