Treatment:
Back Pain (General)
Non-Specific Low Back Pain:
Many patients come to Castle Chiropractic with low back pain that has no clear underlying medical cause. This type of pain can result from poor posture, sedentary lifestyles, or improper lifting techniques. Our chiropractors offer a comprehensive approach to identifying and addressing the root causes of non-specific low back pain, providing relief through careful assessment and personalised care plans.
Acute Back Pain:
Castle Chiropractic specialises in helping patients manage acute back pain, which can arise suddenly due to muscle strains, lifting heavy objects, or sudden movements. We offer rapid interventions to reduce pain and prevent future episodes through targeted treatment and ergonomic advice.
Chronic Back Pain:
Chronic back pain is a major concern for many of our long-term patients. Castle Chiropractic provides ongoing support for individuals dealing with persistent pain, focusing on spinal health, posture correction, and lifestyle adjustments to manage and mitigate chronic back issues.
Symptoms of back pain can be:
Back Pain (General)
Dull or Sharp Pain:
This pain can feel like a persistent ache that is constant or sporadic, with sharp, stabbing sensations that can occur with certain movements or positions, such as bending, lifting, or twisting.
Stiffness:
Patients may experience a tight, constricted feeling in their back, making it difficult to bend or twist. Stiffness can lead to a decreased range of motion and discomfort during daily activities.
Radiating Pain:
Pain can extend from the lower back into the hips, buttocks, or down the legs (sciatica). This radiating pain may feel like a deep ache, tingling, or electric shock sensation.
Difficulty with Posture:
Patients may find it challenging to maintain an upright posture, often leading to slouching or leaning to one side. Poor posture can further exacerbate discomfort, creating a cycle of pain and stiffness.
