Back pain can be pretty debilitating and actually quite scary, especially as it often seems to come from nowhere.  There are many reasons why backs can hurt at any one time including (but not isolated to) sprains, strains, postural problems, disc related injuries, mechanical injuries and degenerative disorders.  But did you know that back pain can also be caused by other conditions, for example problems with your guts or your kidneys. This is why we take a full medical history and conduct a full examination to determine the cause. It is much better to see a professional sooner rather than later.

OUR APPROACH

A full clinical and orthopaedic examination helps identify not only the cause of your lower back pain but also anything that may be contributing to it. Once the cause is established we will explain it to you in a way you can understand. We will also let you know how we can help and whether we need to make any referrals.

Often, depending on the cause, treatment can start immediately to help relieve your pain and usually includes a combination of soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, stretching, manipulation and acupuncture. However please be assured that you are able to choose if you would prefer not to have any particular treatment.

You will also be provided a wealth of advice including exercises and lifestyle advice. In addition, we can also do an ergonomic assessment to ensure your working environment does not contribute to your pain.
