While the breadth of spinal care may be intimidating, physiotherapists are experts in this arena. Regardless of whether the source of your symptoms is acute, chronic, posturally driven, or degenerative in nature, you can count on a comprehensive evaluation, a treatment plan that is both varied and specific, and an emphasis on education and empowerment to improve management and prevent future recurrence.
Treatment plans may include:
- Manual therapy
- Myofascial release
- Acupuncture
- Dry Needling
- Joint specific treatment
- Therapeutic exercises
- Neuromuscular re-education
- Pilates
- Movement / activity re-education
- Postural retraining
The Irish Life Health Back Up programme supports early intervention through physiotherapy for acute neck and back pain so that you can benefit from expert care and advice to ensure a speedy recovery. This physiotherapy treatment will also help reduce the risk of progression or recurrence of the current pain/symptoms.
The Back Up programme recognises the importance of full rehabilitation following an episode of spinal pain. The scheme allows for up to 6 physiotherapy free treatment sessions from initial assessment, including physiotherapy/manual therapy for pain relief through to rehabilitation and strengthening programmes.
