Often health professionals can only suggest to avoid certain activities or recommend painkillers and ice.

Initial Back Assessment And Treatment

  • Specialised Testing: Our full neuro-muscular exam exploring all potential causes of your condition
  • ​Initial Treatment: Acupuncture & targeted muscle-strengthening bodywork
  • Rep​ort of Findings: A thorough explanation of what we find from your exam and what to do about it. Total appointment time is 1 hour.

In our opinion, acupuncture is one of the best treatments for back pain as it:

  • Can get in to where the problems really are. Other therapies like massage can only work at a superficial muscular level.
  • Doesn’t just create a local healing affect in the area of pain. It creates a global healing affect by reprogramming your body’s central nervous system to reduce the pain and start fixing the problem. It literally kick-starts your body’s natural healing process again. It also reduces the need to take any pain killers or anti-inflammatories that can damage your stomach if you use them too long.
  • Has collateral benefits. Getting acupuncture brings a whole raft of other health benefits as well. There’s usually improvements to some other health issues you may have and you’ll feel great and relaxed.
  • Requires no home exercises for you to do. You just have to lie on the bed while we work our magic.
  • Can be combined with cupping therapy if required for an improved result.

Causes of Back Pain

Back pain is generally caused by either spine-related problems or through injuries.

  • Herniated or slipped discs – the soft tissue between your discs has popped out putting pressure on nerves resulting in pain.  This is most commonly due to wear and tear.
  • Degenerative discs – the soft tissue between the discs wears down to bone rubbing on bone.
  • Spinal stenosis – your spinal canal has narrowed putting pressure on your nerves.
  • Pinched nerve – usually caused by a herniated disc or a bone spur.
  • Arthritis – this weakens your joints and ligaments and can cause a disc to move forward over a vertebra.
  • Impact injuries from accidents or falls leading to muscle strain, tear and also bone fractures.
  • Lifting injuries that cause microtears in the muscles and ligaments of the back.

Back Pain Symptoms

  • Pain in the lower back, hips and buttocks.
  • Referred pain down the leg sometimes to the foot.
  • Numbness or tingling down the leg into the foot – sciatica.
  • Pain is worse after periods of sitting or standing and often relieved by walking.
  • Often ongoing.
