Back Pain

Back Pain Treatment Dhaka | Non-Surgical Relief & Rehabilitation - AdvanCell

Back pain is one of the most common and debilitating conditions, affecting millions worldwide. From a dull, persistent ache to sharp, shooting pains that radiate down your leg (sciatica) or into your arm, back pain can severely impact your daily life, making simple tasks like sitting, standing, lifting, or even sleeping a challenge. The constant discomfort, stiffness, and fear of movement can be overwhelming, but the good news is that most cases of back pain can be effectively managed and resolved without surgery.

At AdvanCell in Dhaka, we understand the profound impact back pain has on your well-being. Our expert physiotherapists specialize in comprehensive, non-surgical approaches to accurately diagnose the root cause of your back pain and provide personalized treatment plans. Our goal is not just to relieve your immediate discomfort but to restore your spinal health, improve your mobility, and empower you with the tools for long-term prevention.

What Causes Back Pain? Understanding Your Discomfort

Back pain is a complex issue with a multitude of potential causes. A thorough assessment is crucial to identify the specific structures involved and create an effective treatment plan. Common causes include:

• Muscle Strains and Spasms: Often due to overuse, sudden movements, heavy lifting, or prolonged poor posture.

• Ligament Sprains: Injuries to the tough bands of tissue that hold your vertebrae together.

• Disc Issues:

• Bulging or Herniated Discs: When the soft inner part of a spinal disc pushes outwards, potentially pressing on nerves (leading to sciatica or arm pain). (See our Disc Herniation service page for more).

• Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related wear and tear of the discs, causing pain and instability.

• Arthritis of the Spine (Spondylosis): Degenerative changes in the facet joints of the spine, leading to stiffness and pain. (See our Arthritis service page for more).

• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress nerves and cause leg pain or weakness, especially with walking.

• Spondylolisthesis: A condition where one vertebra slips forward over another.

• Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction: Pain arising from the joint connecting the spine to the pelvis.

• Poor Posture and Body Mechanics: Chronic slumping, improper lifting techniques, or prolonged static positions that strain the spine.

• Muscle Imbalances and Weakness: Particularly a weak core (abdominal and back muscles) that fails to adequately support the spine.

• Other Factors: Stress, obesity, lack of exercise, and certain underlying medical conditions can also contribute.

Who Benefits from Our Back Pain Management Programs? Do You Need Help?

Our specialized physiotherapy programs for back pain are designed for individuals experiencing various forms of spinal discomfort. You could significantly benefit if you are:

• Suffering from acute, chronic, or recurrent lower back pain, mid-back pain, or neck pain.

• Experiencing pain with specific movements like bending, lifting, twisting, sitting, or standing for long periods.

• Having radiating pain (e.g., sciatica down the leg, pain into the buttock, or arm pain/numbness).

• Dealing with back stiffness, muscle spasms, or limited spinal flexibility.

• Seeking effective non-surgical solutions to relieve back pain and restore normal function.

• Undergoing rehabilitation after spinal surgery (e.g., discectomy, fusion).

• Looking for long-term strategies to prevent future back pain episodes.

How We Help: Our Back Pain Rehabilitation Programs Include

Our comprehensive back pain programs integrate a range of advanced physiotherapy techniques and modalities:

1. Comprehensive Assessment:

• Detailed History: Understanding your pain patterns, aggravating and relieving factors, injury mechanisms, and how back pain impacts your life.

• Thorough Physical Examination: Evaluating your posture, spinal alignment, movement patterns, muscle strength, flexibility, joint mobility, and performing neurological screening (reflexes, sensation, motor strength) and specific orthopedic tests to identify the pain source.

• Review of Imaging: Analyzing X-rays, MRI, or CT scans (if available) to complement the clinical findings.

2. Pain & Inflammation Management:

• Therapeutic Modalities:

• Laser Therapy (LLLT/PBMT): For targeted reduction of inflammation, pain relief, and acceleration of tissue healing in affected spinal structures.

• Shockwave Therapy: Effective for certain chronic soft tissue conditions related to back pain.

• Ultrasound Therapy: Deep heat and mechanical effects to reduce muscle spasm, improve circulation, and aid tissue healing.

• IFT (Interferential Therapy) & TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Electrical stimulation for effective pain control and muscle relaxation.

• Heat & Cold Therapy: Applied strategically to reduce muscle tension and inflammation.

• Manual Therapy:

• Soft Tissue Massage: To release tight muscles and reduce spasms.

• Joint Mobilization: Gentle, controlled techniques to restore normal movement in stiff spinal joints.

• Spinal Manipulation (when appropriate): Highly skilled, precise movements to restore joint function.

3. Nerve Decompression & Release (if applicable):

• Spinal Traction Therapy: Mechanical traction, either manual or mechanical, can create negative pressure within spinal discs, helping to reduce disc bulges and alleviate pressure on compressed nerves (especially effective for disc herniation and sciatica).

• Specific Directional Movements (McKenzie Method Principles): Identifying and teaching specific movements that centralize your pain (move it away from the limb and back to the spine), thereby reducing nerve irritation.

• Nerve Glides/Flossing: Gentle exercises to help nerves move more freely within their pathways, particularly useful for radiating pain.

4. Therapeutic Exercise Progression (The Core of Long-Term Relief):

• Core Stabilization Exercises: Essential for building a strong, supportive foundation around your spine (including deep abdominal and back muscles).

• Strengthening Exercises: Targeted strengthening of back extensors, gluteal muscles, and other supporting muscles to improve spinal stability and reduce strain.

• Flexibility & Mobility Exercises: Gentle stretches for tight muscles (e.g., hamstrings, hip flexors, piriformis) and specific exercises to restore natural spinal movement.

• Postural Correction & Ergonomics: Education and exercises to improve your posture in sitting, standing, and during daily activities, minimizing stress on your back.

5. Advanced Targeted Therapies:

• Dry Needling / Wet Needling (Trigger Point Injections): For precisely targeting and deactivating stubborn muscle knots and trigger points in the back, glutes, or legs that contribute to localized pain or referred symptoms.

6. Gait & Movement Analysis: Identifying inefficient movement patterns or biomechanical flaws that may contribute to recurrent back pain.

7. Patient Education & Self-Management:

• Understanding the causes of your back pain and how to manage flare-ups.

• Instruction on safe body mechanics for lifting, bending, sitting, and standing.

• Importance of consistency with your home exercise program.

• Lifestyle advice, including weight management, sleep hygiene, and stress reduction.

8. Long-Term Prevention & Maintenance:

• Developing a sustainable home exercise program to maintain strength, flexibility, and spinal health.

• Guidance on returning to work, sports, and hobbies safely.
