Back Pain Treatment

It is often mechanical in nature and can be caused by some movements or posture such as lifting, gardening or prolonged sitting or standing. Common back injuries include disc injuries, ligament/facet joint injuries and degenerative changes. Physiotherapy can help to reduce your pain and stiffness and get you moving again.
