What is postural back pain/syndrome ?

Postural back pain/syndrome can vary from person to person and is determined by damage to muscles and vertebrae in the spine. Typically, postural syndrome/pain is triggered by a variety of lifestyle factors and health conditions which in turn affect the level of pain experienced. Postural back pain/syndrome can lead to other spinal or neck conditions, nerve irritation or muscle spasms.

Treatment for postural back pain/syndrome

If you have lower back pain, it is important to have it assessed by a GP or physiotherapist. A physiotherapist will then be able to determine the severity of the condition and the treatment required. Timely diagnosis and treatment can prevent postural back pain/syndrome from developing into a chronic condition.

 

At Vitalis Physiotherapy, we tailor a treatment plan to best fit your recovery goals through:

  • Soft tissue mobilisations (massage)

  • Strengthening, stretching and conditioning exercises
  • Dry needling
  • Taping
  • Shockwave Therapy
  • TENS treatment
  • Home exercise and self-management techniques

Your physiotherapist may also advise heat or ice application, rest and if necessary, pain medication. Additionally, they might recommend for you to use spinal support (braces), a Therapeutic Pillow, or to improve gait and posture through custom foot orthotics and other supportive footwear options.
