Here are some of the most common conditions that we treat:
Similar to neck strain, this is a frequent culprit for back pain. Lifting heavy objects, repetitive movements, or poor posture can all overwork and strain back muscles and ligaments, leading to pain and stiffness.
The discs between your vertebrae act as cushions for your spine. When they bulge (herniated disc) or degenerate (degenerative disc disease), they can irritate nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness that may radiate down the legs (sciatica).
This is the changes to the surface of joints in the spine, similar to osteoarthritis in the neck. It can cause stiffness, pain, and reduced flexibility in the back.
Facet joints are small joints between the vertebrae that help with spinal movement. Degeneration or inflammation of these joints can cause localised back pain, often worse in the morning or after inactivity.
Overstretching or tearing ligaments in your back can cause pain and limit movement.
This condition weakens bones, increasing the risk of spinal fractures and back pain.
This is a specific type of pain radiating down the leg caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve, often due to a herniated disc or other spinal issues.
Problems with the ribs, including strained or inflamed muscles that connect the ribs to the spine (costochondritis) or fractures, can cause localised pain in the upper back or chest wall.
The SI joints connect your lower spine to your pelvis. Inflammation or dysfunction in these joints can cause pain in the lower back, buttocks, and sometimes even radiate down the leg.
