Low Back pain

Chiropractic treatment for low back pain is what we are best known for. Low back pain is incredibly common and something that we are considered specialists in. As a Chiropractor, I have seen many people over the years with low back pain. This can be with associated hip pain, sciatica or other symptoms. Our aim is to always get to the root of the problem. This helps us to determine what the best course of action is going forwards for each individual. This is why we will perform our hour-long consultation to understand the issue completely. This consists of a thorough history and examination of the muscles, joints and nerves to confirm whether chiropractic treatment is the best treatment. If we feel that other treatment options are better suited to you, then we will recommend something different.

​

After your examination, we will propose a plan going forwards. Sometimes further tests are required such as X-ray or MRI, but this can be discussed during your visit.

Treatment for the low back will often involve multiple different elements. Advice and exercises are always important alongside hands on treatment. Chiropractic adjustments of the spine (manipulation) may come with a 'pop' or 'click'. This is gas coming from the joint and not bones being put back into place. This is a very useful technique for many people but not always the best option for everyone. Some people do not like manipulation and some people work better with other techniques. We have many approaches that we can take. We have some very gentle techniques that can work extremely well. We will always work within everyone's preferences.
