Chronic low back pain affects many people globally, often lasting more than 12 weeks. It is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Causes include arthritis, herniated discs, and conditions like spinal stenosis, where the backbone narrows and compresses the spinal cord. In many cases, no specific cause can be identified.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting needles into specific skin points. Studies show it is effective alone or with conventional therapies such as exercise. This practice can offer relief and is considered a valuable tool in managing chronic low back pain.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy, which uses water as a treatment method, helps alleviate pain. It involves exercises in warm water, reducing pressure on the body and allowing easier movements. This treatment can enhance flexibility and strength, contributing to pain management.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the mental aspect of chronic pain. CBT helps patients manage pain by altering their perception and response to it. This therapy can be a helpful component in comprehensive pain management plans.
