Back & Neck Pain

Back and Neck pain can take many forms and is a very common condition. Around 4.0 million (16%) people in Australia are currently estimated to be living with back problems.  Back problems were the 3rd leading health burden in Australia in 2022 (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2023).

Back and Neck conditions may include; disc injuries, facet joint sprains, nerve impingement, spinal joint stiffness, spinal canal narrowing, acute vertebral fracture injuries or muscle spasms.

There are many causes of back pain. They may be linked to an acute trauma, repetitive strain or due to diseases such as osteoarthritis, disc disease, osteoporosis, and even genetic conditions. Other factors that may increase the risk of developing back pain include; age, physical fitness, smoking, being overweight, and the type of work a person does.

Our physiotherapists at Offshore Physiotherapy Torquay are all highly skilled and have extensive experience in the assessment and management of back pain. If you are suffering from any form of back / neck pain, give us a call to schedule an appointment with one of our physiotherapists.
