find Relief from Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common health complaints, affecting up to 80% of people at some stage in life. It may present as a dull ache, sharp stabbing pain, or constant discomfort that wears you down. For some, back pain develops after lifting or sitting too long; for others, it seems to appear out of the blue. Sometimes it stays localised, and sometimes it radiates into the buttocks or thighs, or up towards the neck.

Common Causes of Back Pain

• Muscle or ligament strain 
• Joint stiffness or restricted movement
• Intervertebral disc problems
• Age-related changes such as arthritis
• Repetitive working postures or prolonged sitting
• Stress-related tension
• Lifestyle factors such as reduced activity or weight gain

When to Seek Help

You should consider professional assessment if you experience:

• Pain lasting more than 2–3 weeks
• Pain interfering with sleep, work, or daily life
• Recurring episodes of back pain
• Morning stiffness or discomfort after sitting
• Concern about a “slipped disc”, trapped nerve or other structural problem

You should seek urgent medical attention if you develop sudden severe weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or unexplained weight loss. If we think your complaint is more serious in nature, we'll direct you to the care you need. Chiropractors are highly trained and recognise when a problem may need medical attention.
