Back Pain

If you are experiencing the misery of back pain, you are not alone. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), back pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Affecting around 80% of people at some stage during their lifetime, this equates to around 52 million people in the UK alone and has been increasing over the past five years. 

It is the most common cause of chronic pain and costs the NHS and the economy millions of pounds each year.

Pain may begin abruptly as a result of an accident or by lifting something heavy, or it can develop over time due to age-related changes of the spine or lifestyle factors.  Men and women are equally affected, it can range widely from a mild constant ache to severe incapacitating pain but in all cases, it has a profound and debilitating impact on daily life.

Research has shown Chiropractic to be one of the most effective therapies when it comes to alleviating lower back pain, especially in the long term, by improving the functional causes that started the problem in the first place.
