Lower Back Pain
Assessment and personalised care to help reduce pain, restore movement
and improve confidence in everyday activity.
Understanding Lower Back Pain
The lower back is an important area of stability for the body and allows
much of the spine’s forward and backward movement. It is supported by
strong stabilising muscles that help maintain control during work,
exercise and everyday activities.
Lower back pain can develop after bending, lifting, twisting, sporting
impacts, overuse or sudden uncontrolled movements. Symptoms may be mild
and short-lived, or they may significantly affect sleep, walking, work
and normal daily tasks.
Treatment depends on the structure involved and the severity of the
injury. A thorough orthopaedic and neurological assessment may be needed
to identify the cause and rule out more serious conditions such as disc
injuries or fractures.
