Back problems
Back complaints can start insidiously or acutely and are sometimes accompanied by pain in the buttock and/or leg. The symptoms often disappear on their own within a few weeks. If this is not the case, make an appointment to have your back complaint(s) assessed.
During the intake, the physiotherapist will look at the possible cause of the complaints together with you. A recovery plan will then be drawn up.
The treatment of back problems consists of manual therapy, Mulligan concept and/or dry needling, in combination with exercise therapy.
Everything about back pain
There is usually no damage present in non-specific low back complaints, but there is back pain: the back is, as it were, 'out of shape.' Sometimes the diagnosis of lumbago, lumbago or sciatica is made. This form of back pain can be accompanied by radiation in the buttock / leg, without this being immediately the result of nerve compression.
If you do not experience any improvement in your complaint within the first few weeks or if it keeps coming back, an assessment by one of our (manual) therapists is desirable. Under the guidance of one of our physiotherapists, you will be actively working on your recovery and learn how to get and keep your back under control.
A hernia has to do with pressure from an intervertebral disc on a nerve root. There is often back pain and radiating pain in the buttock and leg, which can be accompanied by tingling and loss of feeling or strength. The medical term for a spinal disc herniation is lumbar radicular syndrome. A herniated disc in the low back is relatively uncommon. In most cases, you will recover on your own within the first three months without the need for surgery. If there is insufficient recovery after three to four months, this may be a reason to consult with the general practitioner about a referral to a neurologist.
To promote the recovery process, it is wise to make an appointment with a manual therapist or physiotherapist. With our experience in orthopedic rehabilitation, we can help you with a quick and complete recovery. You can make an appointment here to have your back assessed and a plan of action made.
