Lower back pain in Liverpool
When lower back pain stops you bending forward, putting on your shoes, carrying your child or going to the gym, it has stopped being a small thing. Chiropractic care may help people manage lower back pain, and it starts with finding out what is going on with yours.
Why lower backs start to hurt
Long hours sitting, lifting, a sudden movement or a gradual change in how you move can all play a part. Often there is no single cause, which is why we start with a proper look.
How we assess it
We take a full history, watch how you move and examine your back and hips. We review any scans you already have, then explain what we found in plain language.
What may help
Depending on what we find, your plan might include hands-on care, soft tissue work, dry needling, and exercises for home. Results vary between people.
When to get urgent help
Go to an emergency department or call 000 if you have numbness around the groin, loss of bladder or bowel control, weakness that is getting worse, or severe pain after a fall or accident.
Should I rest or keep moving?
For most people, gentle movement is better than long periods of rest. We will give you advice that suits your situation.
Do I need a scan first?
Usually not. If your examination suggests you need one, we will explain why.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book without a GP referral. If your GP has referred you under a Medicare plan, bring the paperwork and tell us when you book.
