One wrong move, a sudden stabbing pain – and your back goes on strike. Lumbago is extremely painful but usually harmless. To get you moving again quickly, the ANDRUKONIS Orthopaedic Centre in 1140 Vienna offers an acute back pain consultation with short-notice appointments.
Careful, low-pain movement is usually better than bed rest.
Many people find the step position (lying on your back with your lower legs raised) comfortable.
Can loosen tense muscles.
Only after consulting a doctor or pharmacy, and only for a short time.

Serious causes are ruled out and it is clarified whether nerves are involved.
You receive concrete recommendations on pain relief, movement and fitness for work.
If needed, you start physiotherapy promptly so that your back becomes free again.
With classic lumbago, the pain stays in the back. If it radiates into the leg or is accompanied by tingling, numbness or weakness, a herniated disc or sciatic nerve irritation may be behind it. This is exactly what is clarified in the acute consultation.
If you have had lumbago several times, you will benefit from targeted trunk training. In the RÜCKENSTARK programme, you build up stability step by step.
