Back Pain Treatment Caterham


The lower back supports the weight of your upper body and is integral to everyday movements such as bending, lifting, and twisting. The correct movement of the joints and muscles in the lower back help us to bend forward, backward, to the side and rotate, whilst at the same time, allowing the hips to function fully as we walk, run, or perform activities of our daily lives and play a crucial role in everything we do. So, it’s understandable that when this area of the body becomes injured, it can have a detrimental impact on our mobility and ability to carry out everyday tasks. Anyone who has suffered back pain will attest to how debilitating it is in every aspect. 

Chiropractic Solution

If you’re suffering from lower back pain that’s causing you significant issues in your day-to-day life, chiropractic care could be the solution. This form of manual therapy initially treats your symptoms with manipulation techniques to restore correct movement in your joints and soft tissues, increasing flexibility and reducing pain, and then is followed up with rehabilitative exercise programmes that are closely monitored to help reduce the likelihood of relapse and promote a healthier functioning spine.  We work with clients of all ages in Caterham and the surrounding area to help alleviate discomfort and treat short- or long-term lower back pain.

Back Pain Symptoms and Related Symptoms

There are various symptoms that can arise as a result of lower back pain, and the severity can vary from mild to debilitating. You may find your symptoms get progressively worse or that they suddenly appear. They can also fluctuate over time, with periods of relapse and remittance. This is very typical of spinal dysfunction. Whatever the issue, Caterham residents can speak to our skilled team of chiropractors to get the issue sorted as soon as possible, to prevent the symptoms worsening or further damage to the back occurring.

Causes of Back Pain

Lower back pain is often a symptom of an underlying dysfunction within the joints and muscles of the spine and/or the extremities (arms/legs), that can occur over time due to previous injury, poor postures in many aspects of our lives (think desk, car, train, sofa) and other stresses and strains of daily living. Whatever the cause, our trained chiropractors will work with you to identify the problem and create a tailored treatment programme that resolves the problem to manage your pain and improve your back strength and posture. This usually consists of a series of Chiropractic adjustments/mobilisations to the spine and extremities, combined with soft tissue relaxation techniques, home mobility and strengthening exercises and lifestyle changes.
