Spinal Disorders

Spinal disorders physiotherapy focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions affecting the neck, mid-back, and lower back. It aims to reduce pain, improve spinal mobility, strengthen supporting muscles, and restore healthy alignment for long-term relief.

What It Covers

Spinal physiotherapy helps with a wide range of conditions, including:

• Slip disc / disc bulge / herniation
• Sciatica and nerve compression
• Cervical spondylosis
• Lumbar spondylosis
• Spinal stenosis
• Postural spinal issues (kyphosis, sway back, flat back)
• Facet joint dysfunction
• Muscle spasms and stiffness
• Upper back and neck-related headaches
• Chronic back pain conditions
• Degenerative disc disease

How We Treat

Therapy focuses on relieving pain, improving movement, and rebuilding spinal support.

1. Spinal Assessment

Includes:

• Posture analysis
• Range of motion testing
• Muscle tightness and weakness assessment
• Nerve tension and mobility tests
• Pain pattern and lifestyle evaluation

This helps identify the root cause.

2. Pain Relief Techniques

We use:

• Manual therapy
• Soft tissue release
• Spinal mobilization
• Muscle relaxation techniques
• Electrotherapy (TENS, IFT, Ultrasound)
• Heat therapy (Hydrocollator packs)

These decrease inflammation and calm irritated nerves.

3. Core Strengthening & Stability Training

Strengthening the deep stabilizing muscles:

• Reduces strain on the spine
• Protects discs and joints
• Improves posture
• Prevents recurrence of pain

Includes Pilates-based exercises, core activation drills, and functional strengthening.

4. Postural Correction & Ergonomics

We correct:

• Forward head posture
• Rounded shoulders
• Poor workplace or study posture
• Sleep positions and daily stressors

Simple lifestyle changes + targeted exercises = lasting relief.

5. Flexibility & Mobility Training

Gentle and controlled movements to:

• Loosen tight muscles
• Improve spinal flexibility
• Restore natural movement patterns
• Targets the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical regions.

6. Nerve Mobilization

For sciatica, radiculopathy, and nerve compression:

• Nerve gliding techniques
• Traction-based relief
• Soft tissue release around nerve pathways

Improves nerve mobility and reduces sharp or radiating pain.

7. Strengthening the Back & Hip Muscles

We strengthen:

• Back extensors
• Glutes
• Hip stabilizers
• Abdominals
• Scapular muscles

A strong support system keeps the spine healthy.
