Low Back Pain Treatment – Causes, Symptoms, Physiotherapy & Exercises
Learn how physiotherapy can effectively relieve lower back pain, improve mobility, strengthen your spine, and help you return to a pain-free lifestyle without surgery.
What is Low Back Pain?
Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems affecting people of all ages. It may develop suddenly after lifting heavy objects or gradually due to poor posture, prolonged sitting, obesity, weak core muscles, or age-related degeneration. Most people experience low back pain at least once during their lifetime.
The good news is that the majority of low back pain cases respond very well to physiotherapy. Early diagnosis and proper rehabilitation can reduce pain, improve movement, and prevent future episodes.
