Back Pain

Back pain can be a huge burden, with an alarming 80% of people in the Western world suffering from it at some point in their lives. It’s important to note that while common treatments such as over-the-counter painkillers can bring relief, these are more suited for temporary bouts of pain and do not get to the root of the issue. To help address underlying causes of back pain, Caloundra Physiotherapy Centre specialises in evidence-based treatments tailored to each individual’s needs. With a team of experienced professionals, Caloundra Physiotherapy Centre stands ready to help those struggling with chronic back pain come out feeling their best and equip them with the tools they need to keep it that way.

There are many different causes of back pain, including:

Accidents
Spinal problems
Poor posture
Poor flexibility
Muscle strains
Ligament sprains
Disc problems
Arthritis
Straining while lifting
Lack of exercise

While many think that bed rest and pain killers will make their back problems disappear, research shows that early intervention and physiotherapy treatment is the best solution. Not only can it speed up the recovery of back pain, but it can also prevent pain reoccurrence.

Headaches

Caloundra Physiotherapy Centre understands the importance of being able to differentiate between common headaches and migraine. You must correctly diagnose the type of pain you’re experiencing so that your health professional can provide an accurate treatment plan to suit your needs.

The referral of pain usually causes a headache from your upper neck or due to poor posture and typically feels constant, heavy and dull. Comparatively, a migraine is characterised by a throbbing sensation that shifts sides and is often accompanied by nausea and feeling sensitive to bright light or noise.

Our Caloundra Physiotherapy team specialises in treating headaches through musculoskeletal solutions. This allows us to balance muscle tension and strength while ensuring nerves are free to move between your neck, upper back and other areas of your body, promoting overall spinal health. Contact Caloundra Physio today if you think you may be suffering from headaches or migraines so we can help put your mind at ease.

Neck Pain

Neck pain can be challenging to deal with, caused by injury, postural issues and diseases such as arthritis and degeneration. At Caloundra Physiotherapy Centre, our team of skilled professionals have a range of treatments and techniques at their disposal to help you manage your neck ache. Our commitment is to tailor a unique plan suited to each individual’s needs to provide the best possible care. We also take the time to discuss how you can maintain your health through specific exercises tailored for you so that you can continue on your journey toward feeling better and healthily managing your pain.

There are many ways to decrease or prevent neck pain, including:

Posture - keep your chest lifted, shoulders relaxed, chin tucked in and head level; your neck should feel strong, straight and relaxed.
Sleeping – a down pillow or a urethane pillow is usually the best option, and it’s important to avoid sleeping on your stomach where possible.
Relaxation – recognise when you are tense; you may be hunching your shoulders or clenching your teeth without realising it.
Work – avoid working with your head down or to one side for long periods; frequently stretch and change positions.
Exercise – keep your neck joints and muscles flexible and strong with the correct neck exercise; a physiotherapist can assess you for tight or weak muscles and show you specific exercises to treat your situation.
