Back pain involves complex interactions between joints, muscles, connective tissues, discs or nerves. Onset may be sudden, gradual or unclear. Pain alone does not identify one single tissue or structure.
Common symptoms and concerns
Clients frequently experience localized aches, sharp movement pain, stiffness, or discomfort when sitting, standing, lifting and training. Symptoms may refer into the buttock or trunk, often leading to reduced movement confidence.
How we assess the problem
What care may involve
We gather your health history and evaluate movement, spinal and joint mobility, strength, and neurological function. Testing practical tasks like bending, lifting and squatting helps identify relevant factors, screen for medical investigation, and explain clear next steps.
Management prioritises practical education, staying active and modifying daily tasks. Care plans may integrate hands-on manual therapy and chiropractic techniques when suitable, mobility and strength exercises, graded return to work, lifting, running or sport, and direct referral when needed.
What to expect
Your initial consultation includes a comprehensive health history, goal discussion, movement testing, and physical assessment. We discuss clear findings and outline a structured management plan. Treatment may occur during the first visit for straightforward presentations, while complex cases prioritise thorough assessment and medical referral.
