Low Back Pain

Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems and can affect your movement, posture, work, sleep, and everyday activities. It may develop due to muscle strain, poor posture, prolonged sitting, injuries, spinal conditions, or other underlying factors.

At Lora Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre, we provide personalized physiotherapy for low back pain, focusing on pain management, improved mobility, muscle strength, flexibility, and better functional movement.

Dr. D. Karunya, Senior Consultant Physiotherapist with 10+ years of experience, provides personalized physiotherapy and rehabilitation guidance to help patients manage pain, improve movement, and return to their daily activities with greater confidence.

Preventing Recurrent Back Pain

Along with treating existing symptoms, physiotherapy can help you understand how to protect your back during everyday activities. Patients may receive guidance on:

• Maintaining better posture
• Safe lifting techniques
• Workplace and sitting ergonomics
• Regular movement and exercise
• Strengthening the core and supporting muscles
• Maintaining healthy flexibility
• Gradually returning to physical activities

When Should You Seek Physiotherapy?

Consider a physiotherapy assessment if your back pain is persistent, affecting your daily activities, limiting movement, or repeatedly returning. Early assessment can help identify movement problems and guide appropriate rehabilitation.

Seek urgent medical attention if back pain is accompanied by new loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or inner thighs, significant weakness in the legs, or severe symptoms following a major injury.
