What causes back pain?

Understanding the cause of your back pain is crucial for effective treatment. Our thorough
assessment identifies the specific factors contributing to your condition.

Poor Posture

Prolonged sitting, slouching, or improper workstation setup can strain your back muscles and spinal structures.

Muscle Strain

Lifting heavy objects incorrectly or sudden awkward movements can cause muscle or ligament tears.

Disc Problems

Herniated, bulging, or degenerative discs can press on nerves and cause significant
pain.

Arthritis

Osteoarthritis can affect the lower back, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Sedentary Lifestyle

Lack of regular exercise weakens core muscles that support your spine.

Stress & Tension

Emotional stress can cause muscle tension in the back, leading to chronic pain patterns.

What to expect at your first appointment

Your initial consultation (45-60 minutes) begins with a detailed discussion about your back pain history, how it affects your daily life, and your goals for treatment. We’ll then conduct a thorough physical assessment, examining your posture, movement patterns, muscle strength, and joint mobility to identify the underlying cause of your pain. Based on our findings, we’ll explain your diagnosis in clear, simple terms and work with you to create a personalised treatment plan. Most patients receive hands-on treatment during their first session and leave with exercises to continue their recovery at home.
