Facet Joint PainLower back facet joint pain occurs when the small joints in the spine, known as facet joints, become irritated or damaged. These joints help control spinal movement and provide stability to the lower back. Physiotherapy is an effective treatment that helps reduce pain, improve spinal mobility, and strengthen the muscles that support the spine.

Fractured VertebraeA fractured vertebra in the lower back occurs when one of the bones in the lumbar spine breaks due to trauma, osteoporosis, or other underlying conditions. This injury can cause severe back pain and reduced mobility. Physiotherapy plays an important role in recovery by strengthening the supporting muscles of the spine, improving mobility, and helping patients return safely to normal activities.

Iliolumbar Ligament SprainAn iliolumbar ligament sprain occurs when the ligament connecting the pelvis to the lower spine becomes overstretched or injured.

Expert Approach to Lower Back Pain Physiotherapy in Singapore Rehabilitation

What is Lower Back Pain?

The lower back, or lumbar spine, connects your upper body to your pelvis and plays a key role in movement, stability, and weight-bearing. It consists of vertebrae, intervertebral discs, nerves, muscles, and ligaments working together to support your body.

Because it supports most of your body weight and allows bending, twisting, and lifting, the lower back is one of the most common areas for pain and injury.

If you are looking for lower back pain physiotherapy in Singapore, ACE Physio Sports can help.

Causes of Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain can occur suddenly or develop over time. Common causes include:

  • Poor posture (especially prolonged sitting)
  • Muscle strain or overuse
  • Slipped disc (lumbar disc herniation)
  • Lumbar spondylosis (degeneration)
  • Nerve compression (sciatica)
  • Facet joint irritation
  • Weak core muscles
  • Improper lifting techniques
  • Sports injuries

Patients around East Coast Road and Katong often experience lower back pain due to long hours of desk work or poor ergonomics.
