You’re not alone

Low back pain is one of the most common conditions we treat, and one of the leading reasons people seek chiropractic care at all — it’s estimated that up to 4 in 5 adults will experience it at some point in their life. It can show up after a specific incident like lifting or an awkward movement, or build gradually from posture, prolonged sitting or standing, or ongoing physical strain.

Low back pain has a way of affecting the things people most want to keep doing — bending to pick up a child, sitting comfortably through a work day or long drive, gardening, exercising, or simply getting a full night’s sleep without discomfort.

Our experience

Our chiropractors have treated low back pain across a genuinely wide range of clients — from active sportspeople to people with sedentary jobs, and across all age groups. If imaging is warranted, we can refer for that directly. Working within a multi-disciplinary allied health clinic also means that if another practitioner would better suit your needs, we can refer you internally.

We have long-standing professional relationships with many local GP clinics, and communicate regularly with medical providers regarding shared patient care.

 

Our approach

Low back pain can come from many different contributors — the spine, surrounding muscles, movement patterns, or a combination of factors specific to you. No two people’s low back pain looks the same, so we assess your individual presentation and history to identify what’s genuinely driving your pain, and adjust our approach accordingly.

Depending on what we find, treatment may include:

• Joint manipulation and mobilisation
• Soft tissue therapy
• Individualised exercise prescription to build strength and support recovery
• Practical education and advice to help you manage and prevent recurrence

Our goal is to help you understand your own back, not just to treat the pain in the moment.
