Back Pain & Injury

BACK PAIN AND INJURY TREATMENT IN LANARKSHIRE.

Back pain can vary greatly, from mild "mechanical" discomfort to more serious conditions like stress fractures or disc herniations. Whether your back pain is a minor annoyance, the result of an injury, or has developed over time due to work habits or heavy lifting, we strongly recommend seeing a professional.

 

We’ll thoroughly assess your condition, provide expert advice, and create a personalised plan to help you get back to living in the best way for you. Your recovery is our priority, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.​

​

HOW IS THE BACK STRUCTURED?

​

​The spine, also known as the vertebral column, is made up of 33 vertebrae stacked in a column, divided into five regions: the cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), lumbar (lower back), sacral, and coccygeal (tailbone) regions. Between the vertebrae are intervertebral discs that act as cushions, allowing for movement and absorbing shock. The spine supports the body’s weight, protects the spinal cord, and enables flexibility and movement.​

​

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF BACK PAIN AND INJURIES?

 

Throughout our careers we commonly treat the following types of back pain:

​

• Mechanical back pain

• Herniated discs, which can compress nerves and cause symptoms like sciatica

• Stress fractures in the vertebrae

• Soft tissue injuries or general, non-specific back pain that requires expert advice

• Pregnancy-related back pain

​

Even mild back pain can be disruptive, especially if you lead an active and healthy lifestyle. We’re here to help you address the issue and get back to living pain-free.

​​

Team MT understand that back pain can stem from a variety of causes, and our treatment approach is tailored accordingly. Some of the solutions we offer include:

​

• Education and guidance to reassure you about the cause and create a plan for recovery

• Strengthening exercises for the back, trunk, and core muscles

• Hip stability exercises, focusing on glute strength
