PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR THE LUMBAR SPINE / ISG

SIJ (= sacroiliac joint = the articulated connection between the sacrum and the pelvic blades)

Therapists

Complaints in the area of the lumbar spine and back pain are often very unspecifically summarized as lumbalgia or lumbar syndrome. Colloquially, one also speaks of lumbago or classically of low back pain. As soon as it lasts more than 12 weeks, it is called chronic back pain. In the area of the cervical spine, various symptoms are grouped together under the term cervical syndrome (CVS). Often it comes to recurring neck pain, which is known to many.

The pain can be caused by various structures including: the small facet joints of the spine, muscles or even the intervertebral discs. Very often, however, no structural cause can be identified. However, this does not mean that your pain is dangerous or that you shouldn’t move.

Even with scoliosis and back pain, an individual exercise program is often a useful way to alleviate symptoms and gradually improve your ability to cope with stress in everyday life. In physiotherapy for the lumbar spine and SI joint, we develop exercises for mobility, stability and controlled strength– tailored to your situation – so that you regain more confidence in movement.

  • Together we will strengthen resilience and confidence in your back again! Active movement therapy is an important component of pain therapy for back pain.

In the case of a herniated disc (disc prolapse) or lumbar stenosis(spinal canal stenosis, foraminal stenosis), irritation of nerves and radiation of pain into the legs (sciatic pain) can also occur. The recovery of the resilience of your back and nerves can be optimally supported by targeted training.
