UNRAVELING THE ROOTS OF BACK AND NECK PAIN 🤔🦴

Back and neck pain, affecting people of all ages, can stem from various causes. Here's a breakdown:

Mechanical Causes:

1️⃣ Muscle Strain/Spasm: Often from overuse, poor posture, or heavy lifting.
2️⃣ Herniated Disc: When the inner part of a spinal disc protrudes, causing nerve pressure.
3️⃣ Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
4️⃣ Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, pressuring nerves, resulting in pain and weakness.
5️⃣ Trauma: Injuries from accidents impacting bones, muscles, ligaments, and nerves.

Non-mechanical Causes:

1️⃣ Stress: Triggers muscle tension, leading to pain.
2️⃣ Anxiety: Induces muscle tension, headaches, and fatigue.
3️⃣ Depression: Can reduce physical activity, weakening supporting muscles.
4️⃣ Other Medical Conditions: Arthritis, osteoporosis, and cancer can contribute.

In some cases, the cause may remain unknown, termed idiopathic back pain. 💡

Here The Totalcare Clinic we provide expert care including manual therapy and IDD Therapy spinal decompression. We specialise in unresolved spine issues so if you are still in pain and wondering which way to turn, we're here for you.

Shooting pain down your leg or dull ache? Sciatica is one of the worst types of pain! Some positions may ease it or it can be constant.

Sciatica usually stems from the lower back and can be associated with a bulging or herniated disc issue. It can resolve itself but when it doesn't go away, then we're here to help.

Manual treatments and exercise will sort out most problems, but for unresolved sciatica we use IDD Therapy spinal decompression.

This non-invasive treatment targets and decompresses the affected spinal level, easing pressure on nerves and helping to improve function in your lower back.

If it is time to say 'So Long' to sciatica, visit the IDD Therapy page on our website for more details.

Yogalates is a mixture of Pilates and yoga.

You will get a workout that increases core strength and improves posture, whilst increasing flexibility and reducing stiffness. The Pilates exercises are aimed at strengthening the core abdominal muscles, which support the spine and assist in good posture.
