Common Back Pain Causes We Treat

Working from cramped spaces in heritage apartments often leads to postural strain. We regularly treat professionals who’ve developed lower back pain from hours spent sitting at home offices. Our manual spinal adjustment techniques and Gonstead method specifically target these postural imbalances that cause nerve irritation, followed by pain, providing immediate relief while building long-term spinal health.

Active commuters cycling to Carlton or walking to work face different challenges. The repetitive impact on hard pavements can compress spinal joints. We use Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) and Drop Piece methods to decompress affected areas and restore natural movement patterns. Patients in Collingwood dealing with similar urban-commuter back complaints can find targeted care through our back pain treatment for Collingwood program.
