Neck, Back & Spinal Problems

Most of the neck and back problems could be dealt with some rest, application of heat or cold and the use of off the counter medication. In the event that your pain is limiting you or cannot be controlled with common advice you will benefit by seeing a physiotherapist. On your initial assessment in Physiomove and following history and manual testing we will give you a diagnosis and discuss with you what we feel is the best plan of action.

Sometimes an MRI scan could be useful but we like to say that ”we treat people and not images”. On many occasions the back or neck pain you are experiencing could be the result of biomechanical variations, postural problems or muscular weakness and imbalances you have brought on in the areas of pain. The outcome of this increased local stress can be inflamed muscles, tender ligaments or disc prolapses. Our bodies though have a great inherent power to heal themselves and most of the times they can heal with no further interventions. We facilitate that healing response with manual therapy techniques, acupuncture and different types of exercises.

On the occasion that you fall into that category that you need to have an operation for your spinal problem our physiotherapy experts will guide you through your rehabilitation. This will ensure that you become pain free and you achieve better muscle strength and control in the area at a much shorter timescale.
