About back pain care at our clinic
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a chiropractor, and one of the most common reasons Australians miss work. Most episodes are not caused by serious damage, but they can be painful and worrying.
- Usually not serious. Most back pain is 'non-specific', meaning no single dangerous cause is found.
- Keep moving. Staying gently active generally helps more than rest.
- Screen for red flags. Your assessment checks for signs that need medical care.
