Acute back pain
Sudden back pain, such as after lifting, twisting or sitting for long periods. Michelle assesses how your spine and joints are moving to guide your care.
Chronic back pain
Back pain that has lasted weeks or months. Care may include hands-on treatment, exercise and advice tailored to you.
Sciatica
Pain that travels from the lower back into the buttock or leg. Your chiropractor assesses the likely cause and plans care around how you present.
How can a chiropractor help with back pain?
Back pain can have many causes, including stiff or restricted joints, tight muscles and everyday habits such as long periods of sitting. Michelle starts with a detailed assessment of your history and how your spine and joints move, so your care is based on what is going on for you.
Care may include hands-on joint treatment, muscle work, stretches and exercise advice, with the aim of supporting your movement between visits. If your assessment suggests you may need further investigation, Michelle will explain this and advise on next steps.
