Assessment and Treatment of Spinal Conditions
Here at Physio4U we assess and treat a variety of spinal conditions. Some of the most common conditions that we treat effectively with Chartered Physiotherapy are:
Neck Pain
Whiplash Related Injuries
Headaches which originate from the neck region
Low Back Pain
For chartered physiotherapists and all health care professionals the treatment of low back pain is very challenging. Here at Physio4U, Galway we are working hard to implement the clinical guidelines that have been suggested by our professional body the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists www.iscp.ie The research has shown that there are different kinds of low back pain. Outlined below are the different classifications please click the one that you feel describes your low back pain
Acute Low Back Pain i.e. this is your first episode of low back pain and has been present for less than 7 days (click here for more information)
Non specific low back pain
Our team of Chartered Physiotherapists use a person centred approach to each spinal condition. That means that your treatment is tailored to meet your needs and day to day demands. All chartered Physiotherapists are highly skilled in the areas of manual therapy which includes deep soft tissue massage, manipulation, joint mobilisation techniques, exercise prescription, postural awareness and functional rehabilitation.
The aim with our treatments are:
- To reduce your pain as quickly and effectively as possible
- Increase your function so that you can return as quickly as possible to your daily activities
- To put in place a home exercise programme which will aim to reduce reoccurrence of your symptoms
- To negotiate realistic goals with each client and work towards these in a functional and time efficient manner.
