Back Pain Conditions We Treat

We treat a variety of conditions related to back pain.

Patient with back pain being treated at ProSport Physiotherapy Huddersfield.

Sciatica is a condition characterised by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. It typically occurs when the nerve is compressed or irritated in the lower back. The pain is usually felt on one side of the body and can range from mild discomfort to severe pain. In addition to pain, sciatica may cause numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in the affected leg or foot.

A herniated disc, also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft center (nucleus) of an intervertebral disc pushes through a tear or rupture in the tougher outer layer (annulus) of the disc. This can put pressure on nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness, especially in the back, neck, arms, or legs, depending on the location of the herniation. Herniated discs most commonly occur in the lower back (lumbar spine) but can also happen in the neck (cervical spine). Herniated discs can be caused by a number of reasons, the most common include wear and tear, excessive or repetitive strain and physical inactivity. Physiotherapy can help strengthen muscles around the disc while providing pain management strategies.

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) refers to the gradual deterioration of the intervertebral discs in the spine due to ageing or wear and tear. These discs act as cushions between the bones (vertebrae) of the spine, and as they break down, they lose their flexibility and ability to absorb shock. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and in some cases, nerve compression, resulting in back pain, radiating leg pain, or numbness.

Lower back pain refers to discomfort or pain in the lumbar region of the body. This can vary from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp sensation and may be acute (lasting a few days to weeks) or chronic (lasting longer than three months). Causes of lower back pain include muscle strains, herniated discs, poor posture, arthritis, or injuries. It is a common condition and can sometimes be accompanied by symptoms like stiffness, reduced mobility, or leg pain.

Scoliosis is a medical condition characterised by an abnormal, sideways curvature of the spine. Instead of being straight, the spine curves in an "S" or "C" shape. Scoliosis can occur at any age but is most commonly diagnosed at birth or during adolescents. While mild cases may not cause significant issues, more severe cases can lead to back pain, uneven shoulders or hips. Physiotherapy can be beneficial to prevent other muscle compensating which will prevent further injuries.

Postural Back Pain refers to pain that results from poor posture or prolonged exposure to certain positions that place strain on the muscles and ligaments of the back. Staying in one position for extended periods, can lead to muscle fatigue and discomfort, particularly in the lower and upper back. Changing your posture and ergonomics often helps alleviate this type of pain.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction occurs when the sacroiliac (SI) joints, located at the base of the spine where the sacrum connects to the pelvis, become irritated or stiff. This can cause pain in the lower back, buttocks, and sometimes radiating pain down the legs. SI joint dysfunction may result from injury, arthritis, pregnancy, or uneven movement patterns. SIJ dysfunction can occur in different types of back pain and can be corrected through courses of physiotherapy.

Is Persistent Back Pain Sapping Your Energy, Souring Your Mood, And Holding You Back From Peak Performance In Your Training Or Everyday Life?

If you’ve got sharp, stabbing, or persistent back pain that seems to linger, it’s easy to just accept it, carry on with your life, and think it’s something that “comes with age” or think “it happens because of poor posture”. You might have days when your back pain eases, and you feel hopeful, thinking it’s finally over.

But soon enough, the pain returns, sometimes even worse than before. You start wondering, “Why is this lasting so long?” “Will it ever get better?” “Why is this happening to me?”

We understand how frustrating and debilitating this can be, affecting your mood, energy, and daily activities. Whether it's caused by a muscle strain from lifting something heavy, a herniated disc from a sudden movement, arthritis, or even poor posture, back pain can disrupt your life in many ways.

You’re not alone – we hear these concerns every day at Pro Sport Physiotherapy. We also know that back pain isn’t just something that happens with age. It can result from injuries, medical conditions, or lifestyle factors. We’re here to help you find relief and get back to living your life pain-free.
