A clinic specialized in offering advanced pain treatment programs for muscular injury and
joint pain. If you suffer from sports injuries, or difficult back, neck, knee, shoulder or hip
pain, we are able to help.

We understand that many patients have been disappointed at other physiotherapy clinics
due to some very common issues:

a lack of clinical experience of the physiotherapists.
a lack of time for proper physiotherapy treatments in cheap group therapy practices
using only outdated medical technology (eg: ultrasound and heat packs).
poor understanding of your problems by the physic and a superficial explanation of
your treatment plan.

Low Back pain:
LBP which affects nearly every one of us at some stage of our life, is described in many
ways such as slipped disc, back sprain, arthritis or spondylosis, rheumatism; or when it
causes pain extending into the leg, sciatica.
Chronic LBP is pain that persists for longer than ??? 6 weeks and recurrent LBP is episodic
pain that became pain free for a period of time but the similar symptoms return again
and cause low back disorder to the sufferer.
In the area of the low back the spine consists of five bones or the vertebrae. Each
vertebra has a special cartilage called the discs as well as many holes and openings
called the spinal canal.
The discs separate the vertebrae and located just in front of the spinal cord.

The spinal canals serve as a protected passageway for the spinal cord and the bundle of
nerves which extends from head to pelvis.
The vertebrae and discs are linked by a series of joints to form the lumbar spine. Each
joint is held together by soft tissues such as capsule, ligaments and muscles.
The lumbar spine bears the compressive weight of the body above it and provides a
flexible connection between the upper and lower half of the body.
It has a natural curve which is an inward curve or hollow in the low back and medically it
is known as lumbar lordosis.
In the lord tic posture, the lumbar spine is most efficient and mechanically advantage
during activities.
If the lordosis is lost often and for long enough periods, the low back problems may
develop.
Statistics show that back problems arise more often in the low back than in any other
part of the spine.
Most low back pain is caused by prolonged overstretching of ligaments and other
surrounding soft tissues.
Low Back pain:
A variety of electrical stimulation techniques have been used to heal soft tissue injuries,
bones and wounds. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy one interesting modality that
has been tried for orthopedic healing, depression, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and other
medical conditions. Several electrical stimulation devices have been approved by the
United States Food and Drug Administration to be used for pulsed electromagnetic
therapy. The first device was approved in 1979 to stimulate bone healing. In 2004
another electromagnetic system was approved as an adjunct treatment for improving
cervical fusion.
