How Physiotherapy can help Back pain.


Is your back at risk?
The most common type of back pain often doesn’t have a clear cause. However there are a number of factors that can contribute to your risk of developing back pain, or aggravate the pain once you have it.

These factors include:

·         Sitting for long periods at a time (without taking a break)
·         Poor posture
·         Lifting objects that are too heavy
·         Feeling stressed or anxious
·         Smoking
·         Being pregnant
·         Not getting the recommended 30 minutes of exercise a day
·         Being overweight
·         Slipping or falling

How can physiotherapy help?
Your physio can identify the factors contributing to your specific back problem and design a treatment plan and management programme that’s just right for you. They’ll also check if any underlying health conditions could be contributing to your back pain.

Your physio can help with:

·         Assessment and advice on your back pain
·         Mobilisation and manipulation as appropriate
·         Specific strengthening and flexibility exercises
·         Designing a pain management plan
·         Exercises to improve your posture
·         Education on how to prevent future back problems
·         Advice on returning to work, sport and general activities
·         Workstation assessments, ergonomic analysis and advice on specific work tasks.
·         Referring you to other appropriate health providers (specialists or GPs) if needed.

Keeping active

For minor back pain the sooner you get back to being active the better – gone are the days where bed rest for weeks was required. In fact, research clearly demonstrates that staying active can help reduce your pain and shorten recovery time in most cases. A physio can advise you on safe, appropriate exercises that will support your back and can advise you on the amount of activity that's right for you.

Does it really work?
Physiotherapy can make a huge difference to your back pain, helping you with treatment and pain management. Most importantly a physio can teach you how to prevent back pain in the future.
To see physiotherapy in action watch Ellie’s story on how physio helped her recover from a long history of back pain, or Paul's story of how a physio helped him recover after a injury to his back from lifting at work.

Why Choose Home Health Care?

We care for your loved ones

I am 35 and have been living in Minneapolis for the last 5 years as a part of my company’s project. My wife and our son stay with my parents in Delhi. Jyoti my wife switches between her full-time job and motherhood pretty easily because my parents are healthy and active. I was recently introduced to NRI Family Health by a colleague who enrolled with their services sometime back. I thought that it was good if someone could get us a second opinion for my mom’s Irritable Bowel Syndrome and also if someone could get us green corridor access to docs and help at doing regular testing. My father goes into splits every time he has to visit a hospital of do a simple blood test. Getting him to do a regular scan is like asking toddler to play soccer. Idea behind enrolling for these services was to in ways motivate him to oblige as someone is going to do most of the hard work and all he has to do is to sit in the car and go. Well he did throw tantrums initially but then he agreed with a grudge, bu...

Kareathome brings best healthcare for home-bound patients and their families

Today, the stories of pain, suffering, neglect and haphazard care are very normal in our homes. In many families across the country, there is a member, who is in pain because of a chronic disease or because of some other reason. Many of us have been through such a situation at home where we want to take care of the home-bound member, but time does not allow us to be by their side all the time. With nuclear families and working couples, especially in urban areas, taking good care of a sick family member at home along with managing your work has become a tough task. In such situations you are not left with much options-either a family member has to take on the entire responsibilities, or you search for hired help or a resident nurse. Moreover, getting qualified and reliable help has never been easy. For such situations, Kareathome is always there for you. It provides a wide range of preventive healthcare services at your doorstep for home-bound patients and their families. These service...
