Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek healthcare. Whether it’s from sitting too long at a desk, lifting incorrectly, or an old injury flaring up, the discomfort can seriously affect your daily life. Fortunately, chiropractic care offers a safe, drug-free, and effective approach to managing and resolving low back pain.

What Causes Low Back Pain?

Low back pain can stem from several sources, including:

• Poor posture or ergonomics
• Muscle strain or ligament sprain
• Disc injuries or bulges
• Joint dysfunction or arthritis
• Sciatica (irritation of the sciatic nerve)
• Sedentary lifestyle or lack of movement

Identifying the underlying cause is key to successful treatment—and this is where chiropractic shines.

How Chiropractors Treat Low Back Pain

Chiropractors are trained to assess spinal function, posture, movement patterns, and muscle imbalances. They use a range of techniques to relieve pain, restore movement, and support long-term recovery.

Common Chiropractic Approaches Include:

✅ Spinal Adjustments: Gentle and specific joint movements that help reduce stiffness, improve alignment, and take pressure off nerves. Many patients report immediate relief after an adjustment.

✅ Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques such as trigger point therapy or myofascial release help loosen tight muscles and improve circulation.

✅ Postural Correction: Chiropractors assess your posture and provide exercises or advice to correct imbalances, especially if your low back pain is linked to long hours sitting or standing.

✅ Rehabilitation Exercises: Strengthening the core and stabilising muscles around the spine can prevent future episodes of pain.

✅ Education & Ergonomics: Advice on how to sit, stand, lift, and sleep properly helps reduce strain on your lower back in everyday life.

Why Choose Chiropractic for Low Back Pain?

• Drug-free relief: Avoid relying on painkillers that only mask the symptoms.
• Personalised care: Treatment is tailored to your unique body, lifestyle, and goals.
• Evidence-based: Numerous studies support the effectiveness of chiropractic for low back pain.
• Prevention-focused: Chiropractors don’t just treat the pain—they address the cause to help stop it from returning.

When to See a Chiropractor

If your low back pain has lasted more than a few days, is limiting your movement, or keeps recurring, it's worth getting a chiropractic assessment. The sooner you act, the better your chances of fast recovery.
