Introduction
Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems affecting office workers, homemakers, drivers, and IT professionals in Kodambakkam. Long commuting hours on Arcot Road, prolonged sitting, poor posture, and lack of exercise often contribute to lower back pain. At Stability Physio Care Kodambakkam (near Meenakshi College, above The Best Hospital), we help patients from Kodambakkam, Vadapalani, West Mambalam, Ashok Nagar and Saligramam recover through evidence-based physiotherapy and personalised rehabilitation programs.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Lumbar Disc Bulge: Often due to prolonged sitting and two‑wheeler travel on Arcot Road.
Muscle Spasm: Caused by weak core muscles or sudden lifting.
SI Joint Dysfunction: Common after pregnancy or long hours of standing.
Poor Ergonomics: Working on laptops without proper back support.
When Should You See a Physiotherapist?
Back pain lasts more than 2 weeks
Pain radiates to the leg

Early intervention often prevents chronic pain and reduces the need for medications.

Cat‑Camel Stretch In a table‑top position, gently arch and round your back. 10 repetitions. Reduces spinal stiffness.

FAQs
Q: How to differentiate disc bulge vs muscle spasm?
A: Disc pain often radiates to the leg with tingling or numbness, while muscle pain is localized and worsens with movement. A clinical assessment is required for accurate diagnosis.
Q: Is walking good for lower back pain?
A: Gentle walking can improve blood circulation and reduce stiffness in many cases of lower back pain. However, patients with severe pain or nerve-related symptoms should consult a physiotherapist at our Kodambakkam clinic before starting an exercise program.
