Physiotherapy Methods in the Treatment of Low Back Pain
Abstract
In 2016, low back pain (LBP) led to an astonishing 57.6 million years of life lived under the shadow of disability across the globe. Guidelines for the management of non-specific LBP frequently recommend exercise as a primary intervention. It is recommended that non-pharmacological treatments be initiated promptly. This approach encompasses self-management and educational strategies, alongside the return to regular activity levels and workout regimens. Especially individuals suffering aggravation of illness, it also includes mental health interventions.
It is not advised to use passive techniques (rest, medicine) as they have been linked to a worsening of disability. The Danish, American, and UK recommendations all advocate exercise, either independently or together with different alternatives to drugs therapies. These involve massages, martial arts, aerobic and chiropractic care. Health education programs should educate people on how to avoid pain in their lower backs. The traditional physical therapeutic exercises approach remains the main course of defense for persistent backache and should be used on an ongoing basis.
