Back pain is one of the most common health problems in Dubai and worldwide. Many people experience discomfort in the lower, middle, or upper back, affecting their quality of life and limiting daily activities. Understanding the causes behind this pain is essential to treat it effectively.
Main Causes of Back Pain:
- Prolonged Poor Posture
Many people in Dubai spend long hours sitting in offices or driving, adopting postures that cause muscle tension and imbalances. Lack of ergonomic support can lead to muscle tightness and chronic pain. - Muscle and Ligament Injuries
Sudden movements, incorrect lifting, or accidents can cause injuries to muscles, ligaments, and spinal discs, resulting in sharp or persistent pain. - Structural and Degenerative Issues
Conditions such as herniated discs, osteoarthritis, scoliosis, or spinal stenosis affect bone and nerve structures, producing intense pain and functional limitations. - Stress and Emotional Tension
Chronic stress, common in demanding urban environments like Dubai, can increase muscle tension, worsening back pain and making it harder to manage. - Lack of Physical Activity and Sedentary Lifestyle
Sedentary habits weaken the muscles supporting the spine, increasing the risk of pain and injury.
How Can Physiotherapy Help Relieve Back Pain?
Physiotherapy is an effective, non-invasive solution for treating back pain. In my Dubai practice, I conduct a thorough assessment to identify the exact cause of your pain and design a personalized treatment plan. Some of the techniques and approaches I use include:
- Specialized manual therapy to release muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and reduce pain.
- Personalized therapeutic exercises to strengthen the deep muscles stabilizing the spine.
- Postural correction through education and ergonomic adjustments to prevent future discomfort.
- Breathing techniques to reduce muscle tension and stress related to pain.
- Functional rehabilitation to restore movement capacity and improve quality of life.
When Should You See a Physiotherapist?
It is advisable to seek professional help if:
- The pain persists for more than a week without improvement.
- You experience radiating pain, numbness, or weakness in your arms or legs.
- The pain limits your daily activities or disrupts your sleep.
- You have recently suffered a spinal injury or undergone surgery.
