Back Pain is a common problem from which almost everyone of us suffers sometime or other. Some people are so harassed by Back Pain that their studies, work, business, earning and even normal life is terribly affected.
These patients are generally given pain killers, some ointments or liniments to apply locally. They may be given some electrotherapy ( Light / Rays / Waves ) treatment. Some people also turn to Yoga, Acupressure, Acupuncture, Ayurved, Homeopathy etc.
This routine treatment may work in a few patients,
but in a large number of them the pain and suffering soon returns. There are
many wrong and unscientific concepts in peoples' minds about our Back , Back
Pain and its care. The treatments are not always scientifically correct and
rational. The patient has to run to his Doctor or Consultant since he does
not know that many a times, he himself can look after his Back and that he
need not suffer so much. The patients often use their Back improperly and
bring back the pain, simply because they do not know the proper and scientific
way of using it.

Over last many years we have found that educating a patient about his Back and Back Pain is one of the effective way of treating his Back & Neck Pain, especially when the suffering is recurrent or chronic. We have been conducting these educational sessions in which the patients are given 'Classroom Coaching' in the affairs of the Back. Since 1985 in our 'Back School' over 3000 patients have been coached in the management of their back. |
The patients are taught about :
· How our Spine and Back is made ?
· How it functions ?
· How Back Pain is produced ?
· How different factors and day to day activities affect our Back ?
· How do various diseases affect our Back ?
· How do the wrong use, wrong sitting, working postures harm the spine ?
· How stresses of day to day life affect our Back ?
· How to take care of Back Pain ?
· How to prevent Back Pain ?
How Is This
Taught ?
The Back School is conducted for small groups so that close interaction is
possible during the learning process. Audio-visual aids like slide projectors,
models of the spine, video films etc. are used for proper understanding of
the subject matter. Useful printed material and tips for healthy Back are
given. Most patients have lots of questions in their minds about the Back
Pain. A free for all question-answer session which is conducted at the end
of the second session is the most popular part of the Back-School.
Besides the English and Marathi languages
in which the Back-School is conducted for last many years, we are also introducing
Hindi and Gujrati language batches in the near future.
When is this Done ?
The Back School is conducted at Ashwini Back Institute, Thane, over the predetermined
weekends. Each batch is taken on two consecutive days, Fridays from 5 pm to
8 pm and Saturday from 2 pm to 5 pm. Attending both these days is necessary.
The third session of exercise teaching is conducted on individual
basis, as per mutually convenient timings.
The BACK-SCHOOL is a continuously ongoing program.
The dates for Back School in the coming months of the year 2008 are :
