Adjustments can help reduce pain, restore mobility, and support healthy nervous system function for better overall wellbeing.

What causes lower back pain?

Lower back pain is widespread in Australia, often linked to modern lifestyles. Long hours of sitting can weaken core muscles, affect posture, and strain the spine. Sports and physical activity may also contribute when technique, warm-up, or recovery are lacking. Other factors include injuries, poor ergonomics, lifestyle habits, and even genetics.

A holistic approach

Managing back pain goes beyond treating symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments, ergonomic improvements, exercises, and lifestyle changes all play a role. In some cases, additional medical care may be recommended. With the right plan, most people can reduce discomfort, regain mobility, and enjoy a better quality of life.

There are two types of lower back pain:

Acute (Short-Term)

Lasts days to weeks, often caused by injury, trauma, or overuse. While heat or ice may ease symptoms, early chiropractic care can prevent issues becoming chronic.

Step 2

Your chiropractor may also use hot and cold therapies to support recovery. Ice helps reduce inflammation, while heat—sometimes applied with ultrasound—improves circulation, easing pain, swelling, and muscle tension.

Chiropractic care

Chiropractic care often includes spinal adjustments to restore joint mobility and support natural healing. This may be combined with exercise, massage, or other therapies. Always let your chiropractor know about other treatments or medications so your care is safely coordinated.
