Lower back pain refers to any pain felt in the lower part of the back and/or buttocks. It can result from various factors, such as an accident or injury, but more often, we find it develops due to repetitive activities related to work or recreation.
It can affect one side or both and may be constant or intermittent. However, most people experience back pain for a long time before seeing a chiropractor.
There are many musculoskeletal causes of back pain, but most commonly, a joint in the spine or pelvis becomes misaligned and sprained. This, in turn, causes the surrounding muscles to contract, becoming tight and sore. As a result, pain develops, range of motion is reduced, and inactivity may follow.
Reduced range of motion
Aching
Burning
Sharp/Stabbing pain
Tight Muscles
If you’re experiencing leg pain, pins and needles, or numbness along with lower back pain, you may have a condition called sciatica.

Treatment for Lower Back Pain & When to See a Chiropractor
If your back pain stems from a musculoskeletal issue, chiropractic treatment can be highly effective - we see and treat lower back pain every day in our practice. When a joint in your spine becomes misaligned, it not only causes the surrounding muscles to become tight and sore but also affects the spinal cord and the nerve roots at that level, disrupting communication between the brain and body. As a result, your body struggles to heal the problem, which is why many people experience recurring back pain for years.
Chiropractors precisely identify the joints that need adjustment. By restoring the brain-body connection, we help your body heal, relieve pain, and relax your muscles.

How do I know if my back pain is severe?
Many people suffer with lower back pain and they can still do their day to day activities such as work or exercise and the back pain tends to come and go. Although we still recommend these people see a Chiropractor before the problem becomes severe, people suffering with severe back pain will typically have fairly constant pain and it may be stopping them from working, exercising or looking after their family.
What should I avoid doing if I have back pain?
In the past bed rest has been recommended for lower back pain however we no longer recommend this. Although we advise that you avoid things like bending, lifting and especially twisting, we encourage you to keep moving by taking regular walks. You should also avoid sitting for any longer than 20 minutes and try to sit in a hard back chair if you are sitting.
When should I see a chiropractor with back pain?
Pain is the body’s way of telling you that something is wrong, so whether you are experiencing pain constantly or intermittently we recommend coming to see a Chiropractor. At Pure Chiropractic, we perform a number of functional tests during the initial consultation to determine exactly where your back pain is coming from and how long it has been there. So, even if you aren’t experiencing pain on the day of your consultation, we will still be able to get to the root cause of your problem and help you.
What is the best exercise for back pain?
We encourage you to exercise gently if you have lower back pain to keep your spine mobile. We don’t recommend doing any strength-based exercises or core exercises whilst you have pain but exercises such as cat-cow and stretches like child’s pose. Head over to our YouTube page for our top 5 spinal stretches for more information and how to ensure you do them safely.
How to get started if you want to get rid of your back pain?
Everyone who comes to Pure Chiropractic starts their journey with an initial consultation so we have the time to sit down with you, discuss your problem, and get to the bottom of how and when it started. This is followed by our unique combination of testing to make an accurate diagnosis and understand exactly how we can help you.
