Low Back Pain

Understand your back pain, move with more confidence, and take practical steps towards recovery.
Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems and can affect people at any stage of life. It may feel like a dull ache, sharp pain, stiffness, or restricted movement, and it can make everyday activities more difficult than they should be.

Common Causes of Low Back Pain

Low back pain does not always have a single cause. It often develops due to a combination of factors such as:

  • Joint restriction or irritation
  • Muscle strain or tension
  • Reduced strength or stability
  • Changes in movement patterns
  • Prolonged sitting or postural habits
In some cases, symptoms may be linked to conditions such as sciatica, where pain can travel into the leg.

Symptoms You May Notice

Low back pain can present in different ways, including:

  • Localised pain in the lower back
  • Stiffness, especially after rest or in the morning
  • Pain when bending, lifting, or sitting

If symptoms change, worsen, or feel unusual, it is important to seek appropriate assessment.

How We Assess Low Back Pain

Your first appointment focuses on understanding your situation fully.

We will:

  • Discuss your symptoms and medical history
  • Assess how your back moves
  • Identify areas of restriction, weakness, or sensitivity
  • Consider whether further investigation is needed

Where clinically appropriate, we may recommend Diagnostic Ultrasound to assess soft tissue structures.

If your presentation suggests a need for medical referral, we will guide you accordingly.

Treatment Options

Treatment is always tailored to the individual. Depending on your needs, your care may include:
  • Chiropractic care to improve joint movement
  • Exercise rehabilitation to build strength and support recovery
  • Advice on movement, posture, and daily activities
  • Support for returning to normal activity safely

In some cases, additional approaches such as shockwave therapy may be considered if soft tissue involvement is present.

Our aim is to help you move better and manage symptoms, not just provide short-term relief.

What to Expect

Initial Appointment
We take time to understand your symptoms and how they affect your daily life. You will receive a clear explanation of what may be contributing to your pain and what can be done about it.
Ongoing Care
If treatment is appropriate, we create a structured plan that progresses as you improve. This may include hands-on care, exercise, and practical advice.
Your Role in Recovery
Recovery is a shared process. We support you with guidance, but your progress often depends on consistency with exercises and gradual return to activity.

When to Seek Advice

Most back pain is manageable with conservative care, but you should seek prompt advice if you experience:
  • Severe or worsening pain
  • Pain following significant injury
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs
  • Changes in bladder or bowel control
If needed, we will direct you to the appropriate healthcare pathway.
