The treatment of back pain is usually divided into two parts-

1. Passive Physical Therapy
2. Active Exercises

Passive treatments are done to help relieve the back pain of the patient for a short time period. But some of them can help in improving the patient’s wellbeing for a long period. These therapies are termed as passive because they are done to the patient. They are carried out by other people and a patient can’t do them by themselves. Some of the examples of passive therapies are –

. Massages

. Traction

. Electrotherapy

. Acupuncture

.Therapeutic ultrasound

. Manual therapy techniques such as mobilization of the spine

. Ultrasounds

. Heat and ice packs

In addition to passive treatment, active treatments are also equally important to treat back pain. It has been proven that active therapies are more effective than passive therapies in case of non- specific lower back pain. The term ‘active’ refers to the treatments that a patient actively participates in, that a patient performs by himself. It includes many exercises and yoga positions that strengthen and stretch the muscles. Some kinds of relaxation techniques are also considered in this type of therapy. 

Our expert therapist at XL Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab in Fort Lauderdale can help you to improve your wellbeing by using passive and active physical therapies.
