Overview
Understanding your back pain
Your back is an intricate system of bones, muscles, ligaments, and nerves working together. Because these structures are tightly linked, one problem in a single area can cause widespread discomfort. Our first priority is finding exactly where and why the system is failing, rather than chasing temporary symptom relief.
Common underlying sources of back pain
Poor Posture
Repetitive positions can strain the muscles supporting your spine. When it comes to posture, we often say “the best posture is the next posture”.
Disc Irritation
Bulging or herniated discs can press on nearby nerve roots, which is what creates persistent pain and leg symptoms.
Muscle Strain
Sudden movements, heavy lifting, or poor lifting mechanics cause micro-tears in the lower back muscles.
Symptom check
Does this sound like you?
These are the warning signs we hear most often. If any of them match your week, an assessment will tell you what is driving it.
- Constant, dull ache that sits in the lower back
- Sharp or shooting pain that travels down through the leg
- Stiffness in the morning that limits how far you can bend
- Pain that spikes after prolonged sitting, driving, or lifting
- A feeling of weakness or instability when you stand up
Our disciplines
How we treat back pain
We build one integrated care plan that restores your movement from several clinical directions at once.
Mobilize and strengthen
Physiotherapy
Your physiotherapist guides you through targeted exercise, movement retraining, and joint mobilization to resolve the underlying weakness.
Release soft tissue
Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapy eases chronic muscle tension, settles areas that keep spasming, and improves circulation through the region.
Optimize spine dynamics
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care uses manual therapy to improve spinal joint mobility, complemented by corrective exercises to optimize movement.
Calm the pain signal
Acupuncture and IMS
Acupuncture and intramuscular stimulation release stubborn trigger points and help interrupt chronic pain patterns.
