Back Pain Management at Ulverston Physio
Lower back pain is a common issue that affects many individuals across various age groups at some point in their lives. At Ulverston Physio, Les Potter, an experienced Chartered Physiotherapist, provides a comprehensive specialist initial assessment along with any necessary treatments to help manage your pain effectively.
Lower back problems include:
Acute Low Back Pain:
Acute low back pain often occurs suddenly and can be triggered by even minor or simple movements, such as bending to pick up an object or pushing and pulling light loads. It may also be a flare-up of long-standing chronic low back pain, becoming more frequent if not managed properly.
At Ulverston Physiotherapy, your Chartered Ulverston Physiotherapist Les Potter will conduct a thorough assessment and develop a tailored rehabilitation program to address your back issues and injuries, helping you achieve your specific goals.
Les Potter combines various treatment methods to address what can often be painful and debilitating injuries. This includes massage therapy, muscle stretching, mobilisation, manipulation, and a comprehensive functional rehabilitation program designed to strengthen your back and facilitate a return to your regular activities or sports.
In most cases, back pain can be effectively resolved with the appropriate treatment at our physio clinic in Ulverston. However, there may be instances where back pain does not improve, in which case you may need to consult your GP for further investigations. If this is necessary, we will explain this process to you throughout your treatment journey.
