Frequently Asked Questions
What are common causes of back pain?
Back pain can arise from many factors, including posture issues, muscle strain, spinal alignment, injuries, or repetitive movements. Sitting for long periods, heavy lifting, or certain lifestyle habits may also contribute. Chiropractors assess posture, spinal health, and daily activity patterns to help identify potential causes.
Understanding the contributing factors is important for tailoring care and preventing further issues. Diagnostic imaging may also be used to support a thorough assessment and guide treatment decisions when required.
When should I see a chiropractor for back pain?
People often consider seeing a chiropractor when back pain interferes with their daily activities, is persistent, or recurs frequently. Chiropractors are trained to examine spinal alignment, posture, and movement to help identify what may be contributing to discomfort.
If needed, they may recommend diagnostic imaging such as X-rays. Chiropractic appointments can be booked without a referral, making access straightforward for individuals seeking assessment and care.
Can chiropractic care help with chronic back pain?
Chiropractors are primary healthcare professionals who assess, diagnose, and manage musculoskeletal conditions, including chronic back pain. They evaluate posture, spinal health, and lifestyle factors to develop individualised care plans. Treatment may include spinal adjustments, posture guidance, and exercise recommendations.
While chiropractic care is often used by people experiencing chronic back pain, each case is unique and outcomes can vary. A chiropractor will always assess the individual before recommending suitable treatment approaches and may refer patients for additional testing when necessary.
why back pain matters
Safe Spinal Support
Chiropractors are the spinal health care experts. Did you know that in the Western world, 80% of the population will experience disabling lower back pain at some time during their lives? This is a common and painful condition, which is often poorly managed and very expensive, both in terms of treatment and cost.
Chiropractors are the leading specialists for spine-related health conditions. Chiropractic care of the spine can reduce pain, decrease medication and is generally considered cost-effective. In fact, studies have shown that a course of chiropractic care was 250 times safer than a course of anti-inflammatory drugs.
A study on low back pain has shown that compared to those who sought care from medical doctors, chiropractic patients were more likely to be satisfied with their care, and less likely to seek care from another provider for that same episode of pain. Chiropractic care represents the pinnacle of best practice for lower back pain, is extremely safe and does not use drugs. Causes of back pain include, but are not limited to: poor posture, seating issues, ligament injury, incorrect lifting and lack of exercise.
