Chronic Low Back Pain treatment in Kannur at Manthra Health & Wellness Hospital requires a fundamentally different approach from acute back pain management. When back pain persists beyond 3 months, it transitions from a tissue-based problem to one involving central sensitisation, fear-avoidance behaviour, psychosocial factors, and dysfunctional movement patterns — all of which require specific assessment and treatment strategies beyond simple pain relief.
The biopsychosocial model of chronic low back pain (CLBP) at Manthra Wellness Kannur recognises three interacting dimensions: Biological (disc degeneration, joint dysfunction, muscle weakness, altered movement patterns), Psychological (pain catastrophising, fear of movement, depression, anxiety — all extremely common in Kannur's CLBP population and significantly worsening outcomes), and Social (workplace factors, compensation issues, family dynamics, cultural beliefs about pain and disability).
Our comprehensive CLBP treatment programme at Manthra Wellness Kannur includes: Thorough pain education (explaining central sensitisation, why hurt ≠ harm, and restoring confidence in movement — this alone significantly reduces disability), Progressive exercise therapy (graded activity, not bed rest), Manual therapy for joint dysfunction (Maitland, McKenzie), Advanced pain relief modalities (Shock Wave Therapy, Class IV Laser, Dry Needling, TENS), Psychological support (Harshida M.P provides CBT-based pain management counselling), Aquatic therapy recommendations, and Workplace ergonomic assessment.
"Most patients with chronic back pain in Kannur have been told their scan results explain their pain — but research clearly shows MRI findings correlate very poorly with pain levels. Many people with 'terrible' MRIs have no pain, while others with 'normal' MRIs suffer significantly," explains Dr. Pramod P.V. Addressing this misconception is a critical first step in treating CLBP at Manthra Wellness Kannur.
