Back pain is something that affects everyone, it is something that should be taken seriously and something that should be fixed and treated as soon as the pain first arises. Back Pain not only affects our mobility but also can have a big side effect on our mental well being. Here at Openhealth Clinic, we have a variety of expertly trained Physiotherapists on hand to help diagnose, treat and provide detailed aftercare exercises to ensure that your pain is reduced and you are able to move with ease and no pain. There are a variety of different medication tablets available to treat back pain but these only mask the problem and do not eradicate it. With musculoskeletal treatments, we get right down to the problem and source of the pain and are able to make sure the problem causing the back pain is removed. This post is here to talk you through the full spectrum of back pain and explain how we can help!

What are the different types of Back Pain?

Something that is important to understand about back pain is that there are many different types that affect individuals in different ways. The main three types that we see here at Open health is Acute Back Pain, Chronic Back Pain and Neuropathic Back Pain. To give you a full understanding of these we will explain the different types.

 

Acute Back pain – This type of back pain is usually distinguished by the time period that the pain lasts – it usually falls between the 3-6 month mark and relates to whats called ’tissue damage’ – With acute back pain it is important to remember that the affected area if aggravated or hurt can progress in to the development of chronic pain. This pain can be caused through heavy lifting and poor posture.

 

Chronic Back Pain – Chronic back pain is known as the next level of severity in pain – This type of pain refers to back pain that lasts more than three to six months. This type of back pain is often harder to identify than acute back pain as it is usually not identifiable through tissue damage or the common problem of structural problems.

 

Neuropathic Back Pain – Neuropathic Back Pain tends to differ from the two previous types we have discussed. With this type, the pain or injury no longer remains but there are certain nerves within the body that continue to send the pain messages to our brain. It is important to get this seen to straight away as this could progress into a more serious condition.
