Sitting at the computer for hours every day, monotonous strain, for example through lifting or carrying heavy objects, tension due to pressure and stress, not enough exercise – all of these cause disbalances that the muscles try to compensate for.
If the muscles have been strained too long without compensation, this results in severe tension. In this case, pain the neck or the lower back, for example, is inevitable. In a detailed conversation and with the help of a thorough examination, the physician initially tries to rule out an underlying problem, such as a slipped intervertebral disc.
It is often sufficient to change the work and life habits in combination with remedying the cause of the tension.
Your back needs one thing above all, even in acute pain phases: moderate exercise. Resting and lying in bed wastes away the supporting musculature, which results in more tension and thus even more complaints. The specialists of PhysioT6 and medical strengthening therapy department in our centre will gladly help you to draw up a suitable program to alleviate the pain in your back and make it strong again.
