Most back pain is mechanical and gets better. A small amount isn't, and those cases need a doctor the same day rather than a physiotherapist.
Loss of bladder or bowel control. Numbness around the groin or inner thighs. Sudden weakness in a leg or foot. Back pain with fever, or after a fall.
Any of these โ go to a doctor or an emergency department today. Not next week, and not to us first.
