Back Pain
One of the most common reasons for patients to visit a doctor or physiotherapist is back pain. This is most likely due to the fact that it can be debilitating and negatively impact their quality of life.
Back pain is a very common condition and up to 4 out of every 5 people, experience at least one episode of back pain in their lifetime.
Causes of back pain include disc herniations, disc prolapse, ligament, muscle or joint injury. While some recover in a relatively short period of time, others can suffer constant or intermittent pain for weeks, months or even years.
We will conduct a thorough evaluation and be able to identify the cause of your back pain by combining a subjective assessment—in which you describe how it occurred and your daily activities—with a physical examination. After a diagnosis is determined, we will provide you with the actions required to assist you in healing from your back pain, advice on strengthening your back, and correction of your work habits or posture—all of which should stop the discomfort from returning.
If you are suffering from back pain or would like to learn more, contact Tomás Ryan Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic in Thurles today at 0504 26672.
