Back Pain Treatment in Coffs Harbour

Why Back Pain Happens

Back pain can develop for many reasons, including:

• Muscle strain or tightness
• Joint irritation or inflammation
• Disc injuries
• Sciatica or nerve irritation
• Poor posture or prolonged sitting
• Repetitive strain from work or sport
• Degeneration or arthritis
• Sudden lifting or twisting injuries

You don’t need to know the exact cause, that’s our job.
Your chiropractor will assess your spine, muscles and movement patterns to identify what’s contributing to your pain.

Common Symptoms We Treat

People often come to us with:

• Sharp or aching lower back pain
• Pain that spreads into the hips, glutes or legs
• Sciatica or nerve pain
• Stiffness after sitting or waking up
• Pain when bending, lifting or twisting
• Muscle tightness or spasms
• Reduced mobility or difficulty standing upright

If any of these sound familiar, chiropractic care may help restore normal function and reduce pain.

How Chiropractic Helps Back Pain

Chiropractic care focuses on improving the way your spine, joints and muscles move. When these areas function better, pain often reduces naturally.

Your treatment may include:

• Gentle chiropractic adjustments
• Mobilisation techniques
• Soft‑tissue therapy
• Stretching and muscle release
• Posture and movement correction
• Home exercises to support long‑term improvement

Our approach is holistic and evidence‑based, focusing on restoring normal movement rather than simply masking symptoms.
