Treat Chronic Back Pain Using a Holistic Approach to Life-Style Change, Therapy and Medicine

The Cardiff Pain Clinic has been treating a large number of chronic back pain patients for the past decade. Under the guidance of Dr. Guru, the back pain clinic Cardiff South Wales team has shown causes, treatments and therapy for people who are facing chronic back pain for many years now. The private pain clinic Cardiff South Wales treats patients based on the cause and the intensity of the pain. Some of the common reasons for back pain are, spinal disk damage, stress and health conditions, pressure or strain on your backbone, scoliosis or age related conditions like osteoporosis. Some of the causes for chronic back pain include old injury, strenuous physical activity, no physical activity and stress or medical conditions. Though age is just a number, keeping fit and following a healthy lifestyle will keep you away from bodily ailments. Having said that it’s not always true, one may face chronic back pain in spite of following all these.

As people get older, the possibility of men and women, getting back pain increases due to previous occupational stress or a condition known as degenerated disk. But, people of all ages can be affected for different reasons. There may be two cases of chronic back pain; upper back pain and lower back pain. Spine inflammation, Aortic disorders or chest tumors can cause pain in the upper back. Whereas, factors such as job related condition, injury or degenerative disk disease causes chronic lower back pain. The probability increases as the person ages.

Dr. Guru and his spine clinic Cardiff South Wales team will examine your back and assess you on the basis of your ability to walk, sit, stand and how far you are able to lift your feet and legs. We will ask you to rate your pain on a scale of 0 to 10. This helps us in determining the intensity of pain and helps us understand the effects of it in your daily routine. This will also lead us or provide us a clue of where the pain is coming from or pinpoint the location of the area where we need to treat. They help us to negate the assumptions of more serious conditions responsible for the cause of your back pain. Sometimes muscle spasms also cause severe pain in your spine. Apart from these, the cause of back pain may be an unexpected pregnancy in women, postpartum or injection into the spinal cord etc.

A combinational approach of changing your lifestyle and going towards a fit and healthy lifestyle will help reduce the stress on your spine leading to less amount of pain. Apart from medication and various therapies suggested by the private pain clinic Cardiff South Wales team will help reduce your pain intensity and gain you the freedom you need to carry on with your life happily.
