LIMITED walking or mobility during an episode of severe back pain is mostly helpful with very few exceptions. Bed rest isn't always necessary. One should always consult an experienced Physiotherapist before following any treatment plan that includes US + IFT + Diathermy for 10 days along with bed rest. Ultrasound Therapy, IFT, Diathermy is not to be used like a fixed dosage of Pain Medication. Patients must understand that Electrotherapy is only a part of #PHYSIOTHERAPY.Treatment with Electrotherapy alone is actually missing out on most important aspect of PT that is BIO MECHANICS. Most cases don't need MRI but if an MRI is taken then it shouldn't become a psychological barrier.
