Are you suffering Back Pain?Balwyn north chiropractic centre back pain

What is back pain and why do I have it?

Back pain is soreness or stiffness in the lower back region usually due to local structures such as joints, muscles, nerves, ligaments and discs that have become injured or irritated from major or minor trauma. It is the leading cause of long term disability worldwide with a 50-85% incidence.

Additional related findings may be arthritis of low back joints, sciatica or a pinched nerve of the lower back.

What may help my back pain?

Our Treatment Approach

  1. Clinically-proven spinal manipulation is aimed at increasing your mobility and quickly relieving your back pain. It is effective for varying durations from sudden/acute to medium and long term/chronic back pain in adults.
  2. Advanced massage/soft-tissue therapies are also effective and aimed at relieving your back muscle pain and spasms.
  3. Rehabilitation/exercise therapy is aimed at increasing your back strength to decrease the likelihood of recurring low back pain from weakened muscles.
  4. We also utilize additional therapies such as dry needling, taping and postural advice as required.
