Lower back pain rarely has a single cause. It can be muscular, driven by weak core stabilisers, caused by a herniated disc or facet degeneration, or even referred from the pelvic joint.
That is why we start with an assessment that identifies the real source, then build a programme that combines pain relief in the first phase, restoring range of motion, and finally strengthening the core to stop the problem from returning.
When should you book immediately?
- Pain lasting more than two weeks without improvement
- Pain radiating into the leg, or with numbness
- Pain that wakes you at night or worsens at rest
- Sudden foot weakness or difficulty walking
