Our Approach to Back Pain Treatment

1. Thorough Assessment: Our first step is a comprehensive assessment to understand what might be contributing to your back pain story. We take the time to listen to your history, symptoms, and concerns. This allows us to create a tailored treatment plan that addresses the specific issues contributing to your discomfort.

2. Manual Therapy: In the early stages hands-on techniques can often be beneficial to, treat, and manage acute back pain. Osteopathy focuses on the musculoskeletal system, improving joint mobility, relieving muscle tension, and enhancing blood flow to promote healing. Our treatments aim to manage acute pain and improving overall well-being.

3.Western Medical Acupuncture We can also offer Western Medical Acupuncture as part of our multidisciplinary approach. This technique can help reduce pain, promote healing, and improve overall function. It’s a valuable complement to our osteopathy and physiotherapy services, providing a holistic approach to back pain management.

4. Clinical Exercise Rehabilitation The next stage is to start with rehab, our clinical exercise rehabilitation programs are designed to help you regain strength and mobility. These programs are personalised to ensure you progress at a safe and effective pace and return to the activities you love. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or managing chronic back pain, our exercise programs can enhance your recovery process.

Biopsychosocial model

When dealing with back pain, it's essential to consider more than just the physical symptoms. This approach is called the biopsychosocial model, which looks at three key areas: biological, psychological, and social factors.

1. Biological Factors: These include the physical aspects of back pain, like muscle strain, spinal issues, or injury. Proper diagnosis and treatment, such as physical therapy or medications, address these biological components.

2. Psychological Factors: How you think and feel about your pain matters. Here at the Recovery Project we have a wide net of services that we can refer to alongside our treatments to ensure a full team around you.

3. Social Factors: Your environment and support system play a significant role in your pain experience. Work stress, family dynamics, and social support can influence how you cope with pain. We will discuss building a strong support network and provide education on making positive lifestyle changes to improve your ability to manage back pain.

By addressing all three aspects—biological, psychological, and social—we can create a more effective and comprehensive plan for managing back pain, leading to better outcomes and improved quality of life.
