Understanding Back Pain: Causes, Types, and Finding Relief

Pain in your back is an incredibly common ailment that affects millions of people worldwide. It can range from a dull ache to debilitating pain, significantly impacting your daily life. If you’re struggling with a bad back, understanding the potential causes and finding the right treatment is crucial.

What is Back Pain?

Back pain encompasses any discomfort or pain you experience in the region of your spine, from your neck down to your tailbone. The complex structure of your back – including bones, muscles, ligaments, nerves, and discs – means there are numerous potential sources of pain.

Types of Back Pain

Back pain is categorised in several ways:

  • Duration:
    • Acute back pain: Sudden pain that lasts for a few days or weeks.
    • Chronic back pain: Persistent pain lasting for over 12 weeks.
  • Location:
    • Lower back pain: The most common type, located in the lumbar region.
    • Upper back pain: Pain in the thoracic region, often between the shoulder blades.
    • Neck pain: Discomfort felt in the cervical spine.

Common Complaints of Back Pain

Individuals with pain in their back may experience a wide range of symptoms, including:

  • Dull or sharp pain in a localised area or throughout the back
  • Muscle stiffness and spasms
  • Pain that worsens with bending, lifting, or prolonged activity
  • Pain that radiates down the leg (sciatica)
  • Numbness or tingling in the back or extremities

Attention

We will go above and beyond to get you in for an appointment, but due to high Physio demand in the NHS our appointments are in HIGH demand and go fast.

Current NHS waiting lists for Physiotherapy are at around 6700 patients, to put that into context, if 20 NHS physios see 10 patients a day, that’s 200 appointments a day, 1000 appointments a week over 5 days

Thats nearly 7 weeks wait for only 1 appointment (and we all know that it’s going to be double the time).

Does this sound like you?

Trust us, we have seen and heard everything, some of the common things people say to us include:

  • I just thought the pain would go away after a while, but it's still there.
  • I went to the Doctor and all he gave me was some tablets, I was then told to rest, and he has referred me for Physio, but there’s a 2-month waiting list.
  • There’s no point even trying to get a doctor's appointment, they don’t even pick up the phone.
  • I felt it stiffen up, so I rested for a few days, and it went, but as soon as I did something it came back.

Seen promptly. Jonny was amazing. He knew exactly what the problem was, and solved it. He's also given me some exercises to help prevent reoccurrence. Also a very friendly reception team helped to put me at ease from the moment I arrived.

I've been twice for different issues at different times - once for neck pain and most recently for knee pain. I've had the most contact with Jess on reception and with Jonny for my physio. Jess is super lovely, really friendly and approachable, and Jonny is knowledgeable and explains everything in detail. It's really easy to book an appointment, and to cancel if needed. I have exercises to do ongoing to strengthen my knee, but I wouldn't hesitate coming back if needed.

Had my first appointment with Danny tonight and came away absolutely over the moon. He explained everything fully (and generally good crack and a lovely man as well) and the massage/cracking has made me feel a million dollars. Looking forward to seeing the improvement in my back/pelvis/neck on my next appointment in 4 weeks after incorporating all of the stretches/exercises. Thanks Danny - totally recommend this place!

I attended physiotherapy DOC. Following a car crash injury. The staff from the receptionist to the physios, are amazing. Made the whole process extremely easy and I can't thank them enough. Everything was explained to me about my injury the process if healing. I felt very comfortable, and at ease while having the physio sessions. Would definitely recommend to any one who is in the need for physiotherapy. You won't be disappointed.

I would like start with from the moment I walked in reception how lovely and friendly Jessica the receptionist was. Made me feel very welcomed and had a nice chat with her. Good first impression. Jonny came through and introduced himself and took me to the treatment room where he asked questions about my shoulder pain and talked me through what could be the cause of the pain etc. He then proceeded to do the treatment to which he found maybe the cause of my pain and explained what it was and how he's going to treat it. After treatment was finished he took me back to reception where I booked another treatment which I've just had today. I've got to say even after the first visit I could tell a massive difference and my pain has totally eased. Got to say Jonny was also very friendly and extremely good at what he does. I would 100% recommend The Physiotherapy DOC and wouldn't hesitate to go back. Thank you so much

After an issue with my neck, I was referred to physio. I looked at local practices and found the Physiotherapy Doc close by.I cannot express in words how grateful I was that they fit me in for an appointment that same day.I wasn’t expecting a miracle, because I know that these things can take time. However, after a consultation and some initial remedial work, I walked out of the building feeling fantastic in comparison to how I went in!I’m still having treatment and following the steps and exercises provided and I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve felt this mobile for a long time!The staff are extremely professional and the treatment and advice has worked for me. The equipment is always clean and there’s always a happy face when I arrive.

Had very prompt response to my initial email resulting in first consultation being the following day. Had 2 further appointments which resulted in a marked improvement in my condition. Following the first and second appointment I was was sent a series of exercises which were very clear and easy to follow. Physiotherapist was extremely professional in all aspects of the care that I received and I was completely satisfied with the care and attention that I received.

Had been in an accident and had problems with my shoulder, neck and back and went for physio. The staff were very friendly and made me feel relaxed. After assessing my injury’s I had 8 weeks off physio and now on the road to a full recovery I can’t thank them enough. I will definitely go back if i ever need to go and will recommend them to anyone who needs physio. A big thumbs up

Over the moon with the treatment received on my knee. Friendly and welcoming. After suffering for months my only regret is that I didn’t go sooner - felt better after first visit. Would highly recommend.

I’ve nothing but the highest praise for this small team, (Danny, Jonny, Jess and Kate) and so pleased I found them after having a less than satisfactory experience elsewhere.No one can cure my recurring back problems, but Jonny (and Danny) certainly make it easier to live with and manage. A combination of deep tissue massage and acupuncture has helped me to walk upright again. Thank you
