Back pain is one of the most common complaints we see at Back In Balance Chiropractic. It's estimated that 70%-90% of the population will experience an episode of back pain at some stage in their life. Those who have suffered from this condition know how it can significantly impact daily life, hampering many everyday activities.

Due to the varying nature of back pain, there are many potential differential diagnoses, including sciatica (numbness, tingling, and shooting pain), facet syndrome, muscle sprains, joint sprains, disc bulges, and more. Correctly identifying the type of back pain you are experiencing is crucial for effective treatment.

Common Causes of Back Pain

• Poor posture/spinal alignment

• Inactivity/sedentary lifestyle

• Prolonged sitting

• Trauma

• Repetitive poor movement patterns

• Improper lifting techniques

• Sports injuries

• Underlying disease or pathology (rare)

Our Holistic Approach to Treating Back Pain

At Back In Balance Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to treating spinal conditions. We focus on the entire neuromusculoskeletal system, rather than just the injury site. This includes the spine, extremity joints (hip, knee, etc.), muscles, ligaments, tendons, and the nervous system.

Step 1: Accurate Diagnosis

Our comprehensive assessment includes:

• Detailed clinical history

• Thorough physical examination, including neurological, orthopaedic, and musculoskeletal tests

• Additional diagnostic investigations such as X-rays, if required

Step 2: Personalised Treatment Plan

Once we have all the information needed for an accurate diagnosis, we will explain our findings in a clear and concise manner. Based on this information, we will create a tailored treatment plan specific to your condition and goals. Our team is committed to helping you manage and prevent back pain and sciatica in a holistic manner. If we determine that you need to be referred to another provider, we will ensure you find the right specialist.

Prevention and Education

To help you achieve lasting results, our team will provide education on preventing future injuries, ergonomic advice and if necessary provide personalised rehabilitation exercises
