Back pain

Lower and upper back pain: assess properly before treating

A structured assessment for back pain in Málaga, with a phased plan to recover movement, tolerance and confidence.

Common cases

Back pain problems we commonly treat

We work with frequent back pain presentations using the same approach: understand the case, set priorities and build a clear plan.

01

Acute lower back pain

Sudden pain that limits daily activities. A plan to calm symptoms, explain the case and progress safely.

02

Persistent or recurring back pain

Pain that comes back or stays over time. We assess the full picture and work with continuity.

03

Sciatica or referred leg pain

Pain that travels down the leg. Clinical assessment helps decide the next step with clear reasoning.

04

Upper back pain from posture or load

Pain between the shoulder blades related to work hours, posture or repeated movements.

05

Disc herniations and protrusions

We explain imaging findings from a clinical perspective, without turning a scan result into fear.

06

Post-surgical back recovery

Support to recover mobility, strength and confidence after back surgery.

Approach

For back pain, understand first; treat second

For back pain, a detailed assessment avoids over-interpreting imaging and helps focus the plan on what really matters: load, movement, sleep and context.

  • Separates urgent issues from what needs progressive work.
  • Adjusts activity instead of banning movement by default.
  • Plans progression with reviews and practical criteria.
