Effective Back Pain Treatment
Back pain is common in Cologne Esch – whether from gardening, physical work, or office activities. We treat all types of back pain with over 40 years of experience at Martinusstr. 53.
Typical causes of back pain
Office and screen work
Prolonged sitting and a one-sided posture at the computer lead to tension in the lower back and neck area.
Physical strain
Heavy lifting, carrying, and one-sided movement patterns at work place lasting strain on the lumbar spine.
Lack of exercise
Too little movement weakens the supporting core and back muscles – one of the most common causes of chronic back pain.
Poor posture & stress
Persistent poor posture and muscular tension caused by stress intensify back complaints.
Commuting & long car journeys
Many working people from Esch and the north of Cologne spend a lot of time in the car – which places additional strain on the spine.

Frequently asked questions about back pain
How quickly do the treatments help with acute back pain?
With acute complaints such as lumbago, many patients feel significant improvement after just one to three treatments. Chronic back pain usually requires six to ten sessions.
Can physiotherapy help with a herniated disc?
In most cases, surgery is not necessary for a herniated disc. With targeted physiotherapy, the complaints can be significantly relieved and the back muscles stabilized. We coordinate the treatment closely with your attending physician.
What can I do myself against back pain?
Movement is the most important factor. Regular walks, cycling, or swimming strengthen the back. Avoid sitting for long stretches at a time and maintain a back-friendly posture in everyday life.
Does health insurance cover the costs?
Yes. With a medical prescription, the costs are covered by all statutory and private health insurance providers.
