Vigeo Physio provides well-sought out expertise in back and spine-related pain and problems. Whether that is for acute care or to treat or prevent repeat episodes. Dom is highly skilled in assessing and treating lower back pain and spine problems.
80% of people will experience a back issue at some point. Repeat episodes are very common and affect most people (66-84%) after a first episode. Some of the reason for this comes from the structure.
Your spine has an approximate S-curve. Your neck, upper back and lower back form the S-curve of your spine. Issues with this S-curve can contribute to stress on your spine and problems.
Lifestyle & other factors
But lifestyle and other factors also play a part. Physical (or mental) stress on your body can also affect your back. Whether that is at work, during fitness or in life.
The key to overcoming your back pain and problem, is to address all the contributing factors.
Our evidence-based clinical assessment is comprehensive and provide the foundation for your recovery. It is important to identify what structure is causing your pain or problem and identify why it is occurring, to prevent it from returning. We look at both the local area (your lower back) and surrounding areas, especially your pelvis/sacroiliac joint, hips and upper back/thoracic. Your spine has integrated function with these other areas. An imbalance or problem in one area can affect another area.
• joint pain or sprain,
• muscle strain or sprain
• back spasms,
• disc bulges/herniations
• nerve root irritation including sciatica,
• spondylolisthesis,
• degeneration and arthritis (osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis)
• scoliosis
• spondylosis,
• spinal stenosis, and
• posture-related lower back pain
Many people delay coming to physio, hoping it will improve with rest and time. At Vigeo, we work hard to give you the most comprehensive care possible. To help ease your fear and worry about your back and spine pain. And to prevent the problem recurring again. Many people say, 'I wish I had come sooner'.
We focus on doing the basics right from the start. And will provide individualised care depending on your needs. Helping you find comfortable sitting/sleeping or pain easing positions. Pain education & stress management/relaxation reduce the stress on your nervous system. We can release muscle tension or pain, mobilise your joint(s) and improve any activities and behaviours contributing to your problem.
For persistent or recurring problems, a broader approach may help.
