Back Pain Chiropractor Robina

Why back pain happens

Back pain is common and has many possible causes, including prolonged sitting, lifting, poor posture, sport, and changes in the spine or muscles. Sometimes the cause is not where the pain is felt, which is why a thorough examination matters.

Many episodes of back pain settle with time and staying gently active. If yours is not settling, keeps returning or is affecting your work, sleep or sport, it is worth having it assessed.

How we approach it

• We take a detailed history and examine your spine, muscles, nerves and posture
• We refer for X-rays or other imaging only if it is clinically advised
• We explain what we found and the options, including when another health professional is the better choice
• If chiropractic care suits you, your plan may include adjustments, exercises and spinal traction

When to see a doctor first

Seek urgent medical care if your back pain comes with loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin, fever, unexplained weight loss, or weakness in your legs, or if it follows a significant injury.

Common questions

Will I need X-rays?
