Lower Back Pain (Lumbar Pain)
The most common type of back pain, often caused by muscle strain, poor posture, disc problems, or joint dysfunction in the lower spine. Can range from a dull, persistent ache to sharp, sudden pain.
Upper and Mid Back Pain
Often linked to poor posture, prolonged sitting, or muscular tension between the shoulder blades, this type of pain can also stem from joint stiffness higher up the spine.
Sciatica
Pain that radiates from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg, often caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve, and frequently accompanied by numbness, tingling or weakness.
Disc-Related Pain (Herniated or Bulging Discs)
Pain caused by a disc pressing on nearby nerves, which can cause localised back pain as well as pain, numbness or weakness radiating elsewhere.
Muscle Strains and Ligament Sprains
Often the result of sudden movement, poor lifting technique, or overexertion, causing localised pain, stiffness and restricted movement.
Postural Back Pain
Pain that builds gradually from prolonged sitting, screen use, or poor ergonomics, often felt as a persistent, low-grade ache rather than a sudden injury.
Facet Joint Pain
Pain arising from the small joints connecting the vertebrae, often causing stiffness and localised pain that worsens with certain movements, such as arching or twisting the back.
Sports and Exercise-Related Back Pain
Pain resulting from overuse, poor technique, or acute injury during sport or exercise, common in both amateur and competitive athletes.
Degenerative Back Pain
Age-related wear affecting the discs, joints, or spine, often leading to stiffness, chronic aching, and reduced flexibility over time.
Pregnancy-Related Back Pain
Back pain caused by postural changes, weight distribution, and ligament changes during pregnancy, requiring a specifically adapted treatment approach.ypes of Back Pain We Treat
