Understanding Your Back Pain – More Than Just a Symptom
Back pain affects millions of Australians, but every person’s experience is unique. At our Clifton Hill clinic, we take time to understand not just where it hurts, but why your pain keeps returning. Our extensive approach looks at:
- Postural imbalances from long hours at desks or repetitive movements
- Stress and tension that manifest as physical pain in your back
- Previous injuries that may have created compensatory patterns
- Lifestyle factors including sleep positions, exercise habits, and daily activities
- Nervous system function and how it relates to your spine health
We specialise in treating a variety of back pain conditions including herniated discs, sciatica, muscle spasms, and chronic lower back pain. Our thorough assessment process includes case history review, functional movement analysis, and neurological testing to create a complete picture of your condition.
