A care journey that begins with you.
Individualized assessment Options explained Functional goals01 / UNDERSTAND
The back can hurt without sciatica.
Low back pain means pain in the lower back. A disc contribution may be considered, but symptoms and images do not always identify a single structure.
Activities and positions
Sitting, carrying a load or changing position: note the duration and difficulty.
A gradual return
A concrete goal helps discuss progression compatible with your abilities.
Useful distinctions
Low back pain and sciatica may coexist, but they do not describe the same manifestation. A disc abnormality does not, on its own, prove the origin of all low back pain.
YOUR CONSULTATION IN TERREBONNE
A useful resource for Terrebonne.
To prepare for your Terrebonne consultation, choose a limited daily task—getting up, driving or carrying a usual light load—and note your starting point. Also review episodes and the effect of previous care.
An approach based on your clinical profile
02 / EXPLORE THE OPTIONS
Spinal decompression: a discussion based on your clinical profile.
The choice of care begins with your history, current signs and symptoms, and goals. A condition mentioned in a report does not dictate a treatment method.
- 1
Clarify your situation
Describe whether the pain is in the centre or side of your back, its episodes and periods of relief. Existing examination results and previous care add to the discussion.
- 2
Discuss options and precautions
Non-surgical spinal decompression, adapted exercise, targeted osteopathic care or medical referral: relevant options are explained according to your situation and the limitations of each.
- 3
Track specific changes
Compare ability in a chosen task, activity tolerance and episode frequency, with an adapted return to activity.
Suitability, limitations and other options
A possible disc-related cause does not dictate traction treatment. Care may include information, adapted activity and exercise; the benefits and limitations of each option must be discussed. Spinal decompression uses motorized traction; results vary and no individual benefit can be guaranteed. NICE advises against traction for low back pain with or without sciatica. This recommendation, the uncertainties and the alternatives must be explained. Read the NICE guidelines.
03 / PREPARE FOR MY VISIT

YOUR QUESTIONS
Discogenic Low Back Pain: before your visit.
Guidance to help you understand the condition and prepare your questions.
Read the TAGMED guideWhere can I seek care for this condition in Terrebonne?
TAGMED Clinic welcomes you at 1150, rue Lévis, bureau 200, Terrebonne (Québec) J6W 5S6, on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., by appointment. Availability and confirmation are provided through GOrendezvous.
Does low back pain mean a herniation?
No. Several structures and factors may contribute to low back pain. Clinical information and the course guide assessment.
Can imaging alone confirm disc-related pain?
No. Disc changes may be observed without corresponding pain. Imaging is interpreted according to its usefulness and the clinical situation.
Could decompression be considered in my situation?
A disc hypothesis does not require traction treatment. Care may include information, adapted activity and exercise; each option’s benefits and limitations must be discussed.
How many sessions should I plan for?
The name of a condition cannot determine the number of sessions. Goals, tolerance and progress should guide the development and reassessment of the plan. Also ask when a change in approach would be needed.
Are consultations reimbursed?
Osteopathy receipts may be issued. Check your policy conditions and whether your insurer recognizes the practitioner. Services are not covered by RAMQ.
