Lower back pain is a common issue that many people living in Calgary face. Lower back pain can be debilitating and life-altering, whether from a physically demanding career, daily activities, or an active lifestyle. While plenty of clinics offer pain rehabilitation in Calgary, few offer the advanced treatments and specialized care that Optimum Alberta Back and Neck Rehab does. At our clinic, we pride ourselves on providing personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs, utilizing the latest technology and methodologies to help relieve pain and improve quality of life.
Common causes of lower back pain
Lower back pain can have many causes and is often linked to a sedentary lifestyle. However, Calgary’s extreme weather and long winters significantly exacerbate this problem. Spending long hours shovelling snow to clear driveways and sidewalks and being cooped indoors for extended periods can contribute to muscle strains and poor posture, leading to chronic pain in the lower back. Other more severe causes of back pain include conditions such as scoliosis, herniated discs, arthritis, and osteoporosis, to name a few.
More Than Your Average Pain Rehab Clinic
Our Optimum Alberta Back and Neck Rehab clinic is a full-service clinic providing comprehensive treatments for all aspects of lower back pain. We offer standard therapies, cutting-edge technology, and methodologies to ensure our Calgary patients receive the best treatment. In addition, we provide the following services:
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy, or physiotherapy, is an essential treatment option for lower back pain at our Alberta Back and Neck Rehab clinic. This method involves exercises and stretches designed to strengthen the muscles surrounding the lower back, improving mobility and flexibility, which helps prevent further injuries or pain. Our skilled physical therapists assess each patient individually to create an exercise program that meets their unique needs, ensuring the recovery process is safe and efficient. In addition, emphasizing patient education and building core muscles helps to reduce future injuries, resulting in relief from chronic pain in the lower back and improved quality of life.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is a complementary healthcare approach focusing on optimal spine, joints, and muscle alignment. It involves a series of targeted adjustments and manipulations applied to specific body areas. Chiropractic works by improving joint mobility and reducing inflammation, relieving pressure on the spinal column, which can help to relieve lower back pain. At Alberta Back and Neck Rehab, our chiropractors have years of experience providing specialized chiropractic treatment tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Massage Therapy
At Alberta Back and Neck Rehab, we understand that massage therapy can be a beneficial treatment for relieving lower back pain. Our licensed massage therapists have years of experience providing targeted massages to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and alleviate muscle soreness. In addition, massage therapy has been shown to reduce stress hormones while increasing the production of endorphins, improving emotional well-being and bodily health. It can be used as a complementary treatment for other services, such as physical therapy and chiropractic care, or as a standalone treatment option.
Orthotics
Orthotics is a specialized medical field that designs. It produces custom devices intended to improve the functionality and comfort of the musculoskeletal system. Orthotics can benefit patients with lower back pain as they can help correct gait problems and support proper posture, reducing stress and strain on the lower back. Alberta Back and Neck Rehab offers customized orthotics to provide optimal support for your lower back. Our experienced orthotics specialists use the latest technology and cutting-edge techniques to create the most effective and comfortable orthotics possible.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a safe, minimally-invasive and effective lower back pain treatment option. At Alberta Back and Neck Rehab, our licensed acupuncturists use therapeutic needles to stimulate specific points on the body, which can help reduce inflammation and improve blood flow, providing effective pain relief. Acupuncture has been used successfully for thousands of years to treat various ailments, including chronic lower back pain. In addition, studies have shown that acupuncture can help provide long-term relief without the side effects of prescription medications.
