Lower Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common health complaints in the UK, affecting millions of people every year. In fact, more than half of adults will experience significant back pain at some point in their lives, making it one of the leading causes of pain and disability worldwide.
What causes lower back pain?
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. It can develop suddenly following an awkward movement, lifting injury or sporting activity, or it can build up gradually over time.Modern lifestyles can place significant strain on the lower back. Long hours sitting at a desk, driving, poor posture, repetitive bending and lifting, lack of exercise and weak core muscles can all contribute to back pain. Stress and tension can also play a role, causing muscles to tighten and become painful.In many cases, lower back pain arises from irritation of the joints, muscles, ligaments or discs of the spine.
Is lower back pain common?
Most people will experience lower back pain at some point in their lives. Whilst episodes can be extremely painful and debilitating, the majority of cases respond well to conservative treatment and active rehabilitation.Unfortunately, many people continue to experience recurring episodes because the underlying causes have not been addressed. Identifying and correcting these contributing factors is often the key to long-term improvement.

Our aim is to reduce pain, improve movement and help restore normal function as quickly as possible.We also provide practical advice regarding work, exercise, lifting techniques and lifestyle factors to help reduce the risk of future episodes.
