Back Pain Treatments Your Physiotherapist Can Offer


Back pain can be mild or intense and acute or chronic. However, no matter what type of back pain you have, there is no doubt that it can be very uncomfortable and even stressful. You cannot fully function, and your mind is constantly on the pain you feel on your back. Thus, if you are looking for effective relief, you should visit one of the best physiotherapy clinics in Dubai.

Since most people are working in a seated position facing a monitor most of their working hours, more and more people, including UAE residents are getting back pain. Due to the abovementioned seated working position the age group of people with back pain is getting younger. Lack of exercise, improper posture, and unhealthy lifestyle is accelerating back pain problems, which is now getting more common throughout each working age group. Thankfully, there are different back pain treatments that you can try. Here are some of them:

Physical therapy
One of the first go-to treatments for people suffering from back pain is a Dubai physiotherapist. They have the right knowledge, experience, and skills to apply a variety of back treatments. These may include massage, exercise, heat and cold therapy, electrical stimulation, myofascial release, and mobilization, to name a few.

Physiotherapy for back pain is safe and non-invasive. It does not involve any medication or surgery. Many physiotherapists today will even provide health education to teach you how to reduce and eliminate back pain permanently.

Because of the effective healing power of physical therapy, most patients would even visit their physiotherapists after their back pain has been treated. They do this to feel relaxed, rejuvenated and to prevent reoccurrence.


Dry needling
Many people mistakenly think that dry needling and acupuncture are one and the same. Though both techniques use thin needles, there are two different types of back pain treatment.

Dry needling is a relatively new technique, which is based on modern research and studies. During treatment, needles are inserted into trigger points – points where the muscle “knots” are located. When needles hit these trigger points, the muscle will then be released from its knot, relaxing and restoring its healthy state.

When it comes to back pain, dry needling targets the trigger points found on the back and improve its condition. Though you might think that using needles to treat back pain can be uncomfortable, it is not. During the procedure, you will only feel a slight prick on the skin when the needles are inserted. After treatment, instant comfort and relief can be felt.

Exercise and behavioral modification
Like what was mentioned earlier, the chief cause of back pain among UAE residents is a sedentary lifestyle. For this reason, one of the most effective back pain treatments is exercise.

Of course, if you are already suffering from back pain, the wrong kind of exercise might make things worse. Thus, it would be a good idea to seek professional advice.

Moreover, behavioral modification is also needed for long-term treatment of back pain. For example, patients should learn proper body mechanics when doing everyday tasks. Improved posture would also dramatically eliminate back pain.
