Say Good Bye to Low Back Pain

Are you experiencing pain in your lower back region? Common complaints from our patients are: “It hurts to put on my pants/socks/shoes” “I get sharp pain with bending over/rolling in bed” “I can’t stand up straight after a period of sitting down” “I have pain extending down my leg” These are only a few of many symptoms of lower back dysfunction and they can have a big impact on your daily functioning from getting dressed, driving comfortably, fulfilling work duties and simply getting a good night’s sleep. So what can you do about your lower back pain? Physiotherapy management will be helpful when dealing with lower back pain and there is strong scientific evidence that appropriate exercise guidance is a key element for recovery. When you see one of our Physiotherapists, we will firstly work out where the potential source of your pain is. Are there elements of muscle spasm, joint stiffness and/or disc irritation to your pain? Could your SIJ (sacroiliac joint) or hip joint be implicated? Sometimes pain that is mainly felt in the buttock or leg could be referred pain from your lower back. Our Physiotherapists will conduct a thorough assessment to work out your pain drivers and determine if any imaging is necessary. More often than not, scans are only required if ‘red flags’ are present, which your physiotherapist will make a judgement from your history and assessment. What will your treatment at inline physio. involve? This does depend on your individual presentation, but generally we need to improve how your lumbar joints are moving/gliding, assist in settling muscle spasm as well as address any... read more

Knee Arthritis – Are you doing what YOU can?

2.2 million Australians are affected by osteoarthritis. Our health system is spending $2.1 billion per year on the condition, mostly on joint replacement surgery.  Have you been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis? What were you told to do about it? Commonly, people with arthritis are advised to rest when they have pain, not stay active. They are frequently encouraged to take pain killers or referred to an orthopaedic surgeon. This leads to the person becoming increasingly inactive, potentially depressed, they gain weight and increase their risk of other chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Studies report that whilst surgery helps in the right person, in 2 out of 3 cases, completion of an exercise program guided by a physiotherapist will delay the need for joint replacement surgery by at least two years.  In fact, some people will never need surgery if they stay active! The Bottom Line: Exercise and regular physical activity is essential for treating osteoarthritis and managing chronic disease. So if you need help to get started and guided on the best exercises that you could be doing to help your knee pain and stiffness, make an appointment right now and take charge of your health!

Where is your pain really coming from?

Have you ever been to see a physiotherapist for pain in one part of your body and when they treated you, they focused on a completely different area? While this can be a strange experience, it can be even more puzzling when the treatment actually works. So what is going on, shouldn’t pain be treated where it is being felt? When pain is felt at a different location from where the pain is being caused, this is called ‘referred pain’ and is actually more common than you think. Exactly why this happens is a little complicated, and in fact, we don’t yet understand everything about the way that pain is processed. Pain is usually felt when something causes damage to the body, sending an electrical impulse to the brain. The brain receives this information and processes it to make sense of which part of the body the signal is coming from and what kind of pain it is. When the brain thinks that the pain is coming from a different area than where the damage or signal is actually coming from, this creates the phenomenon of referred pain. Sometimes referred pain is easy to explain, such as when a nerve becomes irritated, causing the pain to be felt along the length of the nerve. This often feels like a sharp, burning pain that runs in a strip, along the skin. Other examples of referred pain are more difficult to explain and in some cases seem to defy explanation.Perhaps you have heard about the strange phenomenon of phantom limb pain where amputees continue to feel pain as though it was... read more
