Back PainBack Pain Physiotherapy in Dehradun
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy care. It can range from a dull ache that develops gradually to a sharp, sudden onset of pain. Both acute and chronic back pain can significantly affect daily activities, work and quality of life. Physiotherapy assessment can help identify the contributing factors and guide a personalised treatment and exercise programme.
Key Symptoms:
- Lower back ache or stiffness
- Pain that worsens with sitting or standing
- Sharp pain with certain movements
Neck PainNeck Pain Physiotherapy in Dehradun
Neck pain is a common condition that can develop from poor posture, long hours at a desk, sleeping awkwardly or from an underlying cervical spine issue. It can range from mild stiffness to severe pain that limits head movement and daily activities. In some cases, neck pain may be associated with headaches, arm pain or tingling in the hands. Physiotherapy assessment can help identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
Key Symptoms:
- Neck stiffness or limited range of motion
- Pain on one or both sides of the neck
- Headache starting from the base of the skull
SciaticaSciatica Physiotherapy in Dehradun
Sciatica refers to pain that follows the path of the sciatic nerve — from the lower back, through the buttock and down the back of the leg, sometimes reaching the foot. It is typically caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, often due to a disc problem, muscle tension or spinal stenosis. Physiotherapy assessment and treatment may help reduce pain, improve mobility and address the underlying causes of nerve irritation.
Key Symptoms:
- Sharp, shooting pain from the lower back down one leg
- Burning or tingling sensation in the leg or foot
- Numbness or weakness in the leg or foot
Slip DiscSlip Disc (Disc Bulge) Physiotherapy in Dehradun
A "slip disc" — more accurately called a disc herniation or disc bulge — occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc protrudes through a weakened area in the outer ring, potentially pressing on nearby nerves. This can cause pain, numbness or weakness in the back, neck, arms or legs depending on the level of the spine affected. Physiotherapy may help manage symptoms and support recovery without surgical intervention in many cases.
Key Symptoms:
- Lower back or neck pain that may radiate into limbs
- Arm or leg pain, numbness or tingling
- Muscle weakness in the affected limb
Knee PainKnee Pain Physiotherapy in Dehradun
Knee pain can affect people of all ages and activity levels. It may result from a sports injury, long-term wear and tear (osteoarthritis), ligament or meniscus damage or overuse conditions. Knee pain can limit walking, climbing stairs, squatting and sporting activities. Physiotherapy assessment helps identify the specific structure involved and guides a targeted treatment programme to reduce pain and restore function.
Key Symptoms:
- Pain at the front, side or back of the knee
- Swelling or stiffness in the knee joint
- Difficulty fully bending or straightening the knee
Shoulder PainShoulder Pain Physiotherapy in Dehradun
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, which also makes it susceptible to a range of conditions. Shoulder pain can arise from rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, tendinopathy, dislocation, frozen shoulder or post-surgical stiffness. It can limit your ability to lift, reach, dress and sleep comfortably. Physiotherapy assessment helps identify the specific problem and guides appropriate treatment and rehabilitation.
Key Symptoms:
- Pain on the top, front or outer side of the shoulder
- Pain that radiates into the upper arm
- Difficulty lifting the arm above shoulder height
Frozen ShoulderFrozen Shoulder Physiotherapy in Dehradun
Frozen shoulder — medically known as adhesive capsulitis — is a condition characterised by pain and progressive stiffness in the shoulder joint. The shoulder joint capsule becomes inflamed and thickened, leading to a significant reduction in range of motion. The condition typically goes through three stages: a freezing phase with increasing pain and stiffness, a frozen phase with restricted movement and a thawing phase where movement gradually returns. Physiotherapy can support recovery at each stage.
Key Symptoms:
- Gradual onset of shoulder pain and stiffness
- Significantly limited shoulder movement in all directions
- Night pain that disturbs sleep
Joint PainJoint Pain Physiotherapy in Dehradun
Joint pain can affect any joint in the body — knees, hips, shoulders, wrists, ankles and the small joints of the hands and feet. It may result from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, injury, overuse or other conditions. Joint pain can significantly affect mobility, daily activities and quality of life. Physiotherapy assessment helps identify contributing factors and develops a management plan suited to your specific joints and condition.
Key Symptoms:
- Aching, stiffness or swelling in one or more joints
- Pain that worsens with activity or at the end of the day
- Morning stiffness that gradually eases
Sports InjuriesSports Injury Physiotherapy in Dehradun
Sports injuries can affect anyone who participates in physical activity, from recreational joggers to competitive athletes. Common sports injuries include muscle strains, ligament sprains, tendinopathy, stress fractures and joint injuries. Physiotherapy assessment helps establish the nature and severity of the injury, guide appropriate early management and develop a structured rehabilitation programme that supports return to sport.
Key Symptoms:
- Pain at the site of injury during or after activity
- Swelling or bruising following an injury
- Reduced range of motion or strength
Stroke RehabilitationStroke Rehabilitation Physiotherapy in Dehradun
Stroke rehabilitation physiotherapy supports recovery of movement, strength and function following a stroke. The brain has a remarkable ability to adapt and reorganise — a property known as neuroplasticity — and physiotherapy plays an important role in supporting this process. Early, consistent rehabilitation is associated with better outcomes. Sessions may take place in the clinic or at home depending on the patient's ability to travel and the stage of recovery.
Key Symptoms:
- Weakness or paralysis on one side of the body (hemiplegia)
- Difficulty with walking and balance
- Problems with coordination and fine motor control
Parkinson's RehabilitationParkinson's Disease Physiotherapy in Dehradun
Physiotherapy plays an important role in the management of Parkinson's disease. While physiotherapy cannot alter the progression of Parkinson's, it can help people maintain mobility, manage balance difficulties, reduce the risk of falls and improve quality of life. A physiotherapy programme for Parkinson's is typically tailored to the individual's current stage and specific challenges, and may be delivered in the clinic or at home.
Key Symptoms:
- Slowness of movement (bradykinesia)
- Muscle rigidity and stiffness
- Resting tremor
Balance DisordersBalance & Dizziness Physiotherapy in Dehradun
Balance disorders can cause feelings of unsteadiness, dizziness, vertigo and increased risk of falls. They may result from inner ear problems (vestibular disorders), neurological conditions, musculoskeletal issues, or as a consequence of ageing or prolonged illness. Physiotherapy assessment can help identify the cause of the balance problem and guide a treatment programme to improve stability, reduce dizziness and lower the risk of falls.
Key Symptoms:
- Unsteadiness when standing or walking
- Dizziness or a sensation of spinning (vertigo)
- Increased fall risk
