If you are looking for back pain treatment in Galway, our team of Chartered Physiotherapists can help. Galway City Physiotherapy has been treating back pain for over 40 years and has grown into one of the largest private physiotherapy practices serving the Connacht region, from our clinic at Liosbaun Business Park on the Tuam Road in Galway City.
Back pain is one of the most common problems we see in the clinic. Whether you are dealing with a sudden acute episode, ongoing lower back pain, or pain related to your work or sport, our physiotherapists will assess your individual situation and put a clear treatment plan in place. Our team includes specialists in Occupational Health and Work Related Injury and in Complex Pain, so more persistent or complicated back problems are also well catered for — see our chronic pain management service.
What does back pain treatment involve?
Your first appointment starts with a thorough assessment so we can identify what is driving your pain. From there, treatment typically combines hands-on physiotherapy with a tailored exercise programme and practical advice to help you return to normal activity with confidence. We treat every back individually — there is no one-size-fits-all programme.
Back pain treatment FAQs
What causes back pain?
Common causes include muscle or ligament strain, disc-related problems, prolonged sitting and postural load, work-related factors, and sporting overload. In many cases several factors combine, which is why a proper physiotherapy assessment is the right starting point.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your presentation. After your initial assessment your physiotherapist will discuss a realistic treatment plan with you, including an expected number of sessions and what you can do yourself between appointments.
How much does back pain treatment cost?
Current appointment prices are listed on our fees page. All our therapists are Chartered Physiotherapists, so we are recognised by all major health insurers — check your own policy for the level of cover included. Galway City Physio are also providers for the Irish Life Back-up Scheme for spinal pain.
