Mid/Low Back Pain

Back pain is a common occurrence in the Australian population. It is estimated 1 in 5 people over age 45 are living with daily back pain (Reference).

80% of Australians will experience back pain at some stage and 10% have significant disability as a result. People of all ages are affected by back pain, and although it generally clears up in a few days or weeks, sometimes back pain can be ongoing.

Chiropractors use a hands-on approach to help back pain. This may include a spinal adjustment, various soft tissue techniques and rehabilitation methods. Our aim is to promote correct alignment and allow your musculoskeletal structure to be at it’s best so you can recover without aids. Chiropractors may help with musculoskeletal back pain by allowing the joints to move well that have previously been restricted by injury, trauma or even tension (such as long term sitting).
