What causes back pain and how can our Oakville Physiotherapist help?

Overuse, repetitive stress related low back pain has become very common. Our Oakville physiotherapist says part of the reason this has become so widespread is because people tend to spend long hours of their day sitting in improper or slouched positions due to work or a sedentary lifestyle. Repetitive activities typically performed daily like lifting, bending, or twisting in awkward positions are also culprits to this epidemic. Our physiotherapists say these “bad” positions put the joints of the lumbar spine in a slightly flexed position which stresses the joints, ligaments, and discs. Unfortunately, this may result in back pain and physiotherapy treatments. This is where your Oakville physiotherapist literally has your back!

Oakville Physiotherapy Treatment for your back pain :

Physiotherapy — Acupuncture — Massage — Chiropractic and even Shockwave Therapy

Vinaya, our Oakville Physiotherapist says the joints in the spine are not as strong as other joints in the body and rely much more heavily on the surrounding muscles. The abdominal muscles, your core, pelvic stability muscles, and your glutes play a large role in the stability of the lower back. However, for many people the core is either weak and does not have the endurance to support your activities throughout the day. When back pain is present, the deep core muscles often stop functioning and fail to provide the necessary support the spine needs. In other cases, the core musculature may be strong but does not turn on, or contract, when it should. Our Oakville physiotherapists will be able to pinpoint the problem and help improve the strength of the lower back muscles.

When you are in a slouched position, sitting for a long time or performing repetitive activities, and are not properly using your core you are stressing the joints, and the surrounding muscles in your lower back. Erector spinae and quadratus lumborum, have to work harder than they are capable of to support the spine causing an increase in muscle tension and inflammation. The body will also try to protect the joints of the spine by laying down scar tissue causing an increase in joint stiffness, and a decrease in mobility.
