The treatment modules currently used for back pain include both active and passive approaches. Active approaches to treating back pain:
- Physiotherapy and subsequent Movement training
to prevent new back pain
- Relaxation techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation according to Jacobson
Passive approaches to treating back pain:
- Manual therapy (special hand techniques)
- Massages (e.g. to relieve tension)
- Packs (e.g. mud pack)
The
targeted training of the back and abdominal muscles can protect against new back problems. The stronger the muscles, the lower the risk of back pain. Special back exercises (back school) are suitable.
Back training on special equipment can be helpful. A healthy diet leads to a reduction in permanent over- and incorrect strain caused by excess weight.
