Back Pain Treatment
Comprehensive treatment for acute and chronic lower back pain.
Lower back pain is the single most common reason patients walk into our Al Kawther clinic in Hurghada. Presentations differ sharply: a lifting strain that seized overnight, a slow ache from long driving along the Red Sea road, or recurring episodes over years. Treatment begins by classifying which pattern you fit and by ruling out the features that require medical referral rather than physiotherapy.
Assessment and treatment of the lumbar spine
The examination covers a screening questionnaire, lumbar range in all directions, repeated-movement testing to see which direction eases or worsens symptoms, hip and sacroiliac clearing tests, and abdominal and gluteal strength. Treatment is matched to the pattern found: mobilisation and soft-tissue work for stiffness-dominant backs, directional preference exercises for disc-related pain, TECAR therapy for deep spasm, and graded core loading for instability. Appointments last 45 minutes, and lifting technique is rehearsed with real weight before discharge.
Back pain patterns we treat
- Pain that came on suddenly while lifting or twisting
- Stiffness that is worst in the first hour of the morning
- Ache that builds after 30 minutes of sitting or driving
- Episodes that recur several times each year
- Difficulty straightening up fully after bending
Results of a structured back programme
- Treatment matched to your movement pattern, not a generic routine
- Reduced spasm through deep tissue heating
- Core and gluteal strength rebuilt in functional positions
- Rehearsed lifting technique for work and home
- Early recognition of the triggers that cause your flare-ups
Session length and expected course
Sessions run 45 minutes. Acute episodes commonly improve across four to six sessions in two to three weeks; recurrent or chronic back pain is programmed over eight to ten sessions with a maintenance plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes lower back pain in Hurghada residents and tourists?
Common causes include poor posture, muscle strain, disc issues and prolonged travel or desk work. Our assessment pinpoints the exact source before treatment begins.
How many sessions are needed to treat back pain?
Most patients notice relief within 3–6 sessions of combined manual therapy, spinal traction and targeted exercise, depending on severity.
Is back pain treatment safe without surgery?
Yes. Our non-surgical approach — manual therapy, traction and shockwave — successfully resolves the majority of back pain cases we see at our Al Kawther clinic.
