- Spondylolisthesis – vertebral slippage causing nerve compression.
- Spinal stenosis – narrowing of the spinal canal.
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
- Postural back pain from prolonged sitting or poor ergonomics.
- Back pain related to pregnancy.

Advanced Back Pain Physiotherapy Treatments at New Life Physio Care:
Our back pain physiotherapy in Chennai is built on a multi-modal, evidence-based framework that addresses pain, mobility, strength, and long-term prevention together:
Manual Therapy & Spinal Mobilisation:
Dr. Arunachalam S. uses skilled hands-on techniques including joint mobilisation, spinal manipulation, and soft tissue therapy to reduce stiffness, restore normal spinal movement, and provide immediate pain relief. Manual therapy is often one of the fastest-acting treatments for acute and chronic back pain.
McKenzie Therapy for Disc Problems:
The internationally recognised McKenzie Method is one of the most effective approaches for disc-related back pain and sciatica. By identifying specific directional preferences, this technique helps centralise pain and progressively restore pain-free function.
Core Strengthening & Stabilisation Exercises:
A weak core is one of the most overlooked causes of chronic back pain. Our physiotherapists design progressive exercise programmes that strengthen the deep abdominal and back muscles – providing natural, long-lasting spinal support that prevents future episodes of pain.
Electrotherapy – IFT, TENS & Ultrasound:
We use advanced electrotherapy modalities including interferential therapy (IFT), TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), and therapeutic ultrasound to reduce inflammation, block pain signals, and accelerate tissue healing at the cellular level.
Dry Needling & Trigger Point Therapy:
For patients with tight muscle knots and myofascial pain contributing to back discomfort, dry needling offers highly effective targeted relief. Fine needles are inserted into trigger points to release tension and restore normal muscle function.
Postural Correction & Ergonomic Training:
Many patients in Chennai develop back pain from hours of desk work, incorrect sitting posture, or heavy lifting at work. Our team conducts a thorough postural assessment and provides practical ergonomic advice to prevent recurrence.
Traction Therapy:
Spinal traction gently decompresses the vertebrae, relieving pressure on compressed nerves and discs. It is particularly effective for sciatica, herniated discs, and spondylosis, providing significant pain relief often within the first few sessions.
Heat Therapy & Cryotherapy:
Strategic application of heat and cold helps manage acute inflammation and chronic muscle stiffness, forming an important supporting role in overall back pain management.
