A chiropractor will assess your spine, identify areas of restricted movement or misalignment, and perform targeted spinal adjustments to relieve lower back pain. Treatment may also include soft tissue therapy, mobilisation techniques, and tailored exercises to improve strength and flexibility. The goal is to reduce pain and restore movement.

Lower back pain can be caused by a range of factors including poor posture, muscle strain, herniated discs, spinal misalignment, and prolonged sitting. Stress, weak core muscles, and previous injuries can also contribute. In many cases, the pain is a sign that the spine and surrounding structures are under unnecessary load or tension, something a chiropractor can assess and treat effectively.

Severe lower back pain can be relieved through a combination of professional treatment and self-care. Chiropractic adjustments are highly effective at reducing pain by realigning the spine and relieving pressure on nerves and surrounding tissues. Alongside treatment, gentle movement, heat or ice therapy, and avoiding prolonged sitting can help manage symptoms. If your lower back pain is severe or persistent, it is important to seek professional assessment rather than masking the pain with medication alone, a chiropractor can identify the root cause and create a personalised treatment plan to get you back to full function.
