Chronic low back pain? Forget her!
How many of us have ever suffered from a little discomfort or sensation that overwhelms us? lumbar level?
Chronic low back pain is pain in the lower back.. It can radiate up or forward through the groin area or down the leg as in the case of sciatica (we'll talk about sciatica in another blog).
The causes of said pathologies are usually several: overexertion, poor posture, repetitive movements, among others.
As it is a very common pathology, we tend to normalize it: “oops…I have suffered from my back for years, the pain already lives with me, I am used to it@”. AND NOT! We must remedy it as soon as possible, because if we do not treat it properly it can chronicize or what is worse, aggravate over time with the appearance of hernias or spondyloarthrosis, Among others.
From Policlínica del Río-Hortega, our clinic in Santa Pola (Alicante), we work in a multidisciplinary way to give you a solution, but not just a temporary solution, but to settle this root pathology. As? with teamwork. We all know that the body is a union that is all related, therefore you have to work both at the muscular and bone level from the physiotherapy how to correct the posture to reduce the injury and that it does not appear again from the chiropody.
From physiotherapy we have a large number of tools to help you such as: Diathermy, acupuncture, dry needling, structural and visceral osteopathy, combined therapy, ultrasound, moxa, myofascial therapy, massage therapy, pointer, kinesiotaping and cupping, Among others.
Treatment with insoles in chronic low back pain:
The feet are the base of our skeletal system, the foundation of the body. If they do not present optimal conditions, they will cause all the upper segments to wobble, affecting the knee, hips and spine. A bad footstep leads to an ascending chain reaction that alters the positions of our joints.
We also find deviations that have their origin in a difference in the length of the legs or a pelvic tilt (tilt). asymmetric imbalances that affect the height of the hips cause scoliotic attitudes, being one of the main causes of lower back pain (low back pain).
A deviation causes problems of joint wear and herniated discs, of which we are not aware until we do not notice pain and pain means that there is already an injury. In most cases it can be avoided or delayed, improving our quality of life. As?
A very effective ally to treat lower back pain are custom templates, since they have as main function to improve our posture by aligning the lower limbs helping to recover the balance of the pelvis, correcting bad posture and significantly reducing pain.
But the objective of this article is not that you think that templates work miracles. Just as there are problems that cannot be solved only with physical therapy exercises, there are those that cannot be solved only with insoles. In this case the work must be 100% combined, complementing the treatment of the insoles with that of physiotherapy to help us stretch, strengthen and relax the structures involved in the incorrect posture maintained.
The success in the treatment of chronic low back pain lies in the perfect union between podiatry and physiotherapy.
