Hello again and once again, welcome back to our series of articles looking at the physiotherapy services that we offer in Cannock. In this article we will look at how our home visit physiotherapy service helps patients with back pain in Cannock.

Probably the most common musculoskeletal complaint that patients seek help for in Cannock is low back pain and our physiotherapists are experts in helping and treating low back pain with hands on therapy and appropriate exercises. To see how the system works and how it might help you, it may be helpful to have a look at a case study of a patient in the Cannock area with back pain.

In this case our patient - was a male in his 70s who had been having back problems for many years and had been attempting to manage these himself but had recently experienced a flare up that had left him with reduced mobility and a large amount of pain. Our physiotherapist attended the patient's home in Cannock, removing the need to struggle out of the house and make the injury worse. A full past medical history was taken and a comprehensive physical examination was undertaken to determine the underlying cause of the back pain and the best treatment and management plan. In this case the patient received hands on soft tissue massage to relieve pain in the muscles of the low back and a programme of exercises designed to strengthen and improve range of motion in the back muscles and enable the patient to make a full recovery. Over a period of a few weeks our physio attended several times until eventually the patient had made a full recovery. At this point our patient decided that they wished to ahve ongoing physiotherapy in order to prevent his back problem from coming back and so in conjunction with the physiotherapist a plan was made to see him on an ongoing basis every 2 to 4 weeks.
