Low Back Pain Treatment
Find the exact source of your back pain — then treat it
Overview
What is spine pain?
Low back pain is the most common reason people come to us, and the most commonly misdiagnosed. A bulging disc on a scan is not always the structure causing your pain.
We combine a hands-on segmental exam with imaging and, when needed, diagnostic blocks to establish whether the driver is a disc, facet joint, sacroiliac joint or nerve root.
Common symptoms
- Deep ache across the lower back after sitting or standing
- Pain radiating into the buttock or thigh
- Morning stiffness that eases with movement
- Pain on bending, twisting or lifting
- Spasm that locks the back for days
What causes it
- Disc degeneration or herniation
- Facet joint arthritis and spinal stenosis
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- Muscle imbalance from prolonged sitting
- Old injuries that healed without full function
Our approach
How we treat low back pain treatment
1
Segmental exam
Level-by-level testing to localise the painful structure before imaging.
2
Targeted imaging
X-ray or MRI read alongside your exam, never in isolation.
3
Relief phase
Injection or medication to calm the pain enough to move again.
4
Rebuild phase
Core and hip strengthening to protect the spine long term.
