Lower Back Pain is pain in the back of the body that occurs below the ribcage. The pain can range from a stabbing or shooting sensation to a pain so severe that you are unable to stand, move, or even sneeze. Pain that occurs suddenly is known as “acute”. This might occur as the result of sudden movement, or using the wrong posture to lift a heavy object. If the pain has lasted longer than 3 months, it is considered “chronic”, and chronic back pain needs treatment and therapy.
Most chronic lower back pain needing treatment results from injury to the muscles, ligaments, joints or discs. Lower back pain generally occurs to those in the age group of 30-50 due to the changes that occur in the body with aging. As you age, there is a reduction in the fluid content between the vertebrae and spine, and this results in the discs in the spine being more easily irritated.
You also lose some muscle tone as you age, which makes the back more prone to injury. This is why strengthening your back muscles, using good body mechanics, and enlisting the help of BPC professionals are great ways to ensure your back stays strong. BPC offers lower back pain treatment in Bangkok performed by qualified physios.
BPC’s 4 step process was established by our team of expert physiotherapists to best guide you through a successful recovery while empowering patients to take charge of their health through our personalized exercise program.
The first step in recovering is to take away instant pain. We will use our state of the art machines including ultra sound, laser and shockwave machines to take away your discomfort and pain that your muscles are experiencing. This will then allow your body the ability to relax, to be able to get back to its full function.
Using manual therapy, our therapists will use their ‘hands on’ clinical massage to loosen and improve the mobility of the joints, soft tissues and nerves. This will unbind your tense muscles and eventually provide the mobility leading to increased range of motion.
Once your muscles are loosened, our therapists will work on increasing your range of motion which will allow the no longer painful joint or muscle to extend closer to its full range. Doing this with our therapists involves moving in the correct direction, speed and technique to prevent any further complications. While you get stronger, it will lead to our recovery phase of exercising.
To complete the process, we will work on the correct form technique, and exercises with you to make sure that your pains and complications do not return, so that you can live a healthier and happier life, physically and mentally, spending more time with your loved ones.
Whether you’re sick or in good health,
we have the best place to assist you.
