Pain management and treatment techniques have changed enormously over recent years with an improved understanding of the factors involved in the maintainence of a chronic pain cycle. An appropriate and individual treatment approach is developed after a thorough evaluation. The management of chronic spinal pain may include the use of real time ultrasound.

Real-Time Ultrasound
The use of ultrasound (sound waves) is highly beneficial in the management of
chronic low back pain and pelvic floor muscle re-eduation. Patients can visually see muscle/s that often
through pain and other factors are not contracting in an appropriate manner. This in turn allows the
development of an appropriate corrective exercise regime.
