Causes of back pain

As the variety of conditions relating to the back are vast, so are the symptoms. Many people describe back pain as dull but relentless while others suffer sharp stabbing pains which may worsen when bending, lifting and twisting.

Back pain is common in all ages. It can be related to poor posture; accidents and injury or wear and tear or age. We have seen a significant increase in back pain complaints during and after lockdown with many people now working from home using makeshift desks or office chairs which are not supportive.

Back pain can be easily assessed by one of our team giving a quick and easy diagnosis as well as a tailored treatment plan.

Treatments for back pain

Treatment is tailored to each individual based on their needs.

Our team of specialists can provide a thorough assessment to detect the cause of your back pain and create a treatment plan, as well as preventive measures to ensure your pain is managed at home and work.

Referrals can also be made to another specialist within our team for more complex conditions. Treatments include drug-free, non-invasive manual therapy, massage and manipulation to help restore the normal function and stabilise the joints.

We also diagnose and treat referred back pain. This is pain felt in the back but is coming from the hips, neck or shoulder areas.
