Back pain and lower back pain – when the body says no
Back pain and lower back pain are among the most common causes of pain and reduced quality of life. Almost everyone experiences back pain at some point in their lives – either after overexertion, many hours in front of the computer, stress, or without a clear explanation.
When your back hurts, it often affects much more than just movement. It can make it difficult to work, exercise, sleep well, or simply enjoy everyday life without constantly being aware of the pain.
Biophysical energy therapy for back pain and lower back pain
In my practice, back pain and lower back pain are among the issues I most frequently encounter. Over the years, I have treated many people with both acute and chronic back pain using biophysical energy therapy.
From my experience, back and lower back pain are among the issues where many clients report relatively quick improvement. Many experience a noticeable change after just one or two treatments. However, treatment courses and results are always individual and depend, among other things, on the cause and duration of the symptoms, and the individual's situation.
The treatment aims to support the body's natural balance and relaxation. Many clients report experiencing a lighter and more relaxed body after the treatment, with reduced tension and discomfort.
What can back pain and lower back pain be caused by?
Back pain and lower back pain can arise from many different causes. For some, the pain occurs suddenly after exertion, while for others, it develops over a longer period.
The most common causes are:
- Muscle tension
- Overload
- One-sided work
- Poor posture
- Stress and psychological strain
- Repeated loads
- Lack of movement
- Sports injuries
Some experience pain that comes and goes, while others live with discomfort for months or years.
Lower back pain
Lower back pain is one of the most common forms of back pain. Many experience pain after heavy lifting, sedentary work, or repetitive strain. The pain can vary from mild soreness to severe pain, which limits daily mobility.
Pain in the upper back
Pain in the upper back is often caused by tension in the shoulders and neck. Long working days in front of a computer, poor posture or stress can be contributing factors.
Pain between the shoulder blades
Many describe a burning or pressing pain between the shoulder blades. This area is often strained by repetitive desk work, tension, or strenuous repetitive movements.
Back pain with radiation
Some back pain can radiate down into the buttocks or legs. If you experience persistent radiating pain, altered sensations, or loss of strength, you should always consult a doctor for a further assessment.
Symptoms of back pain
Back pain and lower back pain can be experienced very differently from person to person.
Typical symptoms can include:
- Tenderness in the back
- Muscle tension
- Stiffness
- Reduced mobility
- Pain with specific movements
- Fatigue in the back muscles
- Discomfort from prolonged sitting or standing
A treatment focused on the whole person
I don't just look at the area where the pain is located. The body functions as a whole, and tension in one place can affect other areas. Therefore, the treatment is based on the entire body and the individual's situation.
The aim is to create the best conditions for the body to regain its natural balance. Many describe an experience of greater mobility, fewer tensions, and increased well-being after treatment.
Is biophysical energy therapy right for you?
If you have back pain or lower back pain and want individual and gentle treatment, biophysical energy therapy may be an option for you to investigate further.
During an initial consultation, we will discuss your symptoms, your wishes and your situation in order to jointly assess whether the treatment is relevant for you.
Katrine Bønsøe says about her treatment with Jette:
I was recommended Jette by a friend and I've been very happy with it! I've had trouble with my sciatica for many years and have been to both a physiotherapist and a chiropractor with no effect. Jette's treatment helped after just a few sessions, so I decided to use her treatment again after an injury to my arm/shoulder which resulted in me only being able to use one arm to get clothes over my head. Again, after a few treatments, I am completely pain-free! I just hope everyone with pain – big or small – gives it a try, because it is truly a formidable treatment method! I am sitting here relieved and pain-free writing this review.
When should you contact a doctor?
Biophysical energy therapy does not replace a medical examination or treatment.
If you experience severe pain, sensory disturbances, paralysis, problems with urination, or other serious symptoms, you should always contact your doctor or seek urgent medical attention.
