Lower back pain

Back pain affects around 80% of people at some stage during their lifetime. It is the most common reason people book with us.

Pain changes how you live.

  • A woman running along a ridge trail at sunset

    You stop running.

  • A man in a dark gym bent forward with a hand on his lower back

    You stop training.

  • A person lying awake in a dark bedroom

    You stop sleeping properly.

  • A father lifting his child onto his shoulders at sunset

    You stop doing the things you love.

Let's change that.

How a spine settles

Each part of the spine carries a different load, so each gets a different kind of care.

  1. 01 Assessment

    We start with the whole column

    Your first visit includes a full consultation, health history review and physical assessment, with postural analysis, digital X-rays when medically required and neurological or orthopaedic testing.

  2. 02 Neck

    Seven small vertebrae, one heavy head

    Long hours at a screen load the neck. Care here combines gentle adjustment with soft tissue work and exercises you can keep up at home.

  3. 03 Mid back

    Where posture shows first

    The mid back stiffens when we sit. Adjustments, mobility work and posture advice help with desk-related pain.

  4. 04 Low back

    The part that carries the most

    Back pain affects around 80% of people at some stage. When pain travels down a leg, sciatica is often part of the picture.

  5. 05 Pelvis

    The base everything sits on

    Pelvic and hip mechanics shape how the whole column moves. We look here in pregnancy, after injury and when one side keeps tightening.
