Physiotherapy For Slipped Disc

STEP 1: INITIAL CONSULTATION

Phoenix Rehab places utmost importance on establishing a serene and patient-centric atmosphere where your needs and well-being are our top priorities. We're dedicated to collaborating with you to effectively address your symptoms and concerns, ensuring that you have a comprehensive understanding of your condition before embarking on any treatment.

Our primary goal is to empower you to make informed decisions about your healthcare. During our consultations, we strive to foster trust and open communication, creating a comfortable environment where you can freely express yourself.

We also firmly believe that when dealing with all kinds of pain, especially chronic pain, it's essential to have a knowledgeable and experienced healthcare professional who also makes you feel at ease. So, we make sure that our highly qualified team is always well-equipped with healthcare knowledge and training.

STEP 2: IN-DEPTH REVIEW

During the consultation, our back pain physiotherapy expert at Phoenix Rehab will take the time to review your medical history thoroughly. This comprehensive evaluation will involve gathering information about your past medical conditions, surgical history, family medical history, allergies, and medications to identify potential risk factors that may point out the root cause of your herniated disc pain.

To ensure the most effective care, it's also recommended that you bring any medical reports or referral forms relevant to your condition. This additional information can provide valuable insights and assist the specialist in making an accurate diagnosis and developing a personalised treatment program.

STEP 3: ASSESSMENT

After thoroughly reviewing your case, our team at Phoenix Rehab will proceed with clinical tests and physical assessments to gain a better understanding of the severity of your condition and to complement what we know of your condition based on the previous findings. Ultimately, this enables us to tailor a treatment plan that meets your specific needs and health goals.

Our physical therapists may perform a complete physical examination with a focus on the areas possibly affected by herniated discs, performing tests like the straight leg raise test, a diagnostic test that can help determine muscle and nerve function and can identify disc prolapse in the lumbar spine or even lumbosacral nerve irritation.

At Phoenix Rehab, we guarantee that the well-being and safety of our patients are our top priorities, so we make sure not to involve physical therapy assistants at any stage of the pain relief sessions. This approach guarantees that you receive the individualised care you deserve, tailored specifically to your needs.

STEP 4: TREATMENT

At Phoenix Rehab, we aim to provide you with prompt relief from your back pain, helping you regain comfort and functionality in your daily life while minimising your reliance on muscle relaxants or pain relief medications whenever possible.

During your sessions, we will prioritise physical therapy as an integral part of your treatment plan, ensuring that you receive both back pain treatment and therapy within the same session.

Similarly, our expert spinal physiotherapists will closely monitor your progress during each follow-up session. This regular observation allows us to track your recovery journey and make necessary adjustments to the intensity and focus of our treatments, ensuring that you receive the most effective care and support throughout your rehabilitation process.
