Back pain is common and may affect movement, work and daily activities.
At Zur Balance, assessment focuses on understanding the symptoms, movement limitations and functional factors that may be contributing to the problem.
Low back pain is a very common musculoskeletal condition and a major cause of disability worldwide. WHO emphasizes individualized assessment, rehabilitation and return to activity as central parts of management.
Back pain may be acute, recurrent or persistent. Symptoms may include:
Back pain can have many different contributing factors, and in many cases there is no single structural cause that fully explains the symptoms.
WHO notes that non-specific low back pain represents the majority of low back pain cases.
Back pain assessment begins with a review of the symptoms, medical history and the activities that aggravate or relieve the pain. The evaluation may also include movement and mobility, muscle strength and control, posture, functional activities and, when relevant, neurological signs.
The goal is to understand how the symptoms affect daily function and to identify the factors that may be contributing to the problem, so the rehabilitation approach can be adapted to the individual.
The treatment plan should be adapted to the individual’s symptoms, abilities and functional goals.
Physical therapy may include:
Some back pain symptoms may require additional medical evaluation.
Referral may be appropriate when the clinical assessment suggests a serious underlying condition or when neurological symptoms require further investigation.
NICE specifically recommends considering serious underlying pathology when suspected rather than treating all back pain as routine musculoskeletal pain.
At Zur Balance, back pain rehabilitation focuses on movement, function and the individual’s clinical findings rather than applying the same treatment to every patient.
The aim is to support safe movement, improve function and help the patient return to everyday activities.
A professional assessment can help identify factors contributing to your symptoms and determine the appropriate next step.
