Back Pain Treatment In Oxford, Didcot & West Hamsptead

Back pain is a very common disorder that will affect almost everyone at some point in their lives. We regularly provide back pain treatment in Didcot, Oxford & West Hampstead. It is a leading cause of disability and sickness absence from work. Most episodes of back pain will subside with gentle movement and a course of treatment. Some people, however, suffer from chronic or recurring back pain which requires a tailored management plan and graded rehabilitation based on the individual, their body and their goals. There are many different causes of back pain, more common causes include facet joint dysfunction, intervertebral disc disease, muscle strains and ligament sprains. Fact: 50% of rowers experience an episode of back pain during the course of a season.
When you come to see us for back pain, we will firstly sit down to discuss your symptoms and give you an opportunity to tell us what you’ve been through. Then we’ll carry out a thorough assessment to get to the root cause of your pain, before treating your symptoms to provide you with some relief. Then we’ll devise a tailored rehabilitation plan to help you get back to your normal self.

Goals

Once you have a working diagnosis for your injury, we’ll guide you through a staged rehabilitation plan which is targeted towards your exercise goals. Whether you want to return to running, weight-lifting or gardening, your rehabilitation plan will reflect this and your physiotherapist will always keep your goals in mind when treating you. Rather than just treating your symptoms, our holistic approach will get you back to your best, but even fitter and more resilient than before. That’s how we keep you doing what you love doing without re-injuring yourself.

Time

You won’t be in and out of the door within half an hour. We allocate 65 minutes for every appointment. Most initial appointments last 55-60 minutes and follow-up sessions tend to take-up 45-50 minutes. This allows your physiotherapist plenty of time to focus on you, build a tailor made plan and write-up your notes without encroaching on your face-to-face time.
