The Power of Early Physiotherapy in Alleviating Back Pain
Recent studies indicate that early intervention through physiotherapy significantly aids in the recovery of individuals suffering from back pain. Researchers from the University of Washington analyzed data from over 150,000 patients aged 18-64. They discovered that those who began physiotherapy soon after the onset of pain experienced remarkable benefits, including:
A 28% decrease in the need for diagnostic imaging (X-rays, MRI scans).
A 15% reduction in the number of cases requiring immediate intensive care treatment.
Substantially lower expenditures on medical visits and tests.
Most importantly, early physiotherapy intervention decreased the probability of needing strong pain medication by almost 90%. A similar study focusing on nearly 47,000 patients with lower back pain yielded comparable results.
"It is estimated that eight out of ten adults experience back pain at some point. Forty percent of them suffer severe symptoms such as loss of sleep, reduced ability to perform daily activities, and severely limited mobility," says Giorgos Kakavas, Physiotherapist-Chiropractor from Fysiotek Sports and Spine Lab. "Almost 75% of patients resort to pain medication, usually strong substances that should be taken sparingly due to potential side effects. Studies have shown that physiotherapy has potent analgesic properties and the global trend is to administer it as first-line treatment, often before commencing any medication."
