Lower Back Pain

lower back pain, disc compression and pinched nerves

Lower Back pain – a very common ailment

Almost half the UK population  (49%) report lower back pain lasting for at least 24 hours at some time in the year.

Our practitioners at Riviera Wellbeing spend much of their time helping people who are struggling with lower back pain. There are many causes of lower back pain and the symptoms present in many ways – not just pain in the lower back’.

Our Approach to the treatment of lower back pain

causes of lower back pain
Chiropractor discussing spinal health and the nervous system and how it relates to lower back pain

Our approach (generally) starts with a full consultation with one of our Chiropractors, who will ask about your symptoms, your medical history, perform physiological and neurological tests and make a diagnosis based upon their findings. In certain circumstances, they may refer you for X-Ray, MRI imaging or refer you back to your GP for blood tests to give further insight into the cause of your back pain. Once all the necessary information has been gathered, they will discuss your proposed treatment plan with you.

Our clinicians understand the underlying causes for back pain, as well as the varying ways it can affect patients. Treatment is tailored specifically for each individual, and you are free to ask as many questions as you need

In most cases, treatment will be offered in our Paignton clinic, but if we feel that we cannot help, we will be honest with you, and will refer you to someone that can.

Don’t suffer with lower back pain – we can help!

The Evidence

There is a growing body of evidence that proves both chiropractic and acupuncture are effective in the treatment of the cause of pain in the lower back. We have known this for years, but now, the scientific community are producing more and more clinical evidence to back this up. The NHS now advocates the use of chiropractic for persistent lower back pain, and in many areas of the UK both acupuncture and chiropractic treatment are made available and funded by the NHS (but unfortunately not in Torbay).

COVID-19
Status Update

 

Now that Covid safety restrictions have eased we are simply asking that all patients attending appointments feel fully well in themselves or take a lateral flow test (and test negative) before coming into the clinic.

If you have any doubts over your health we are happy to rearrange your appointment. We really appreciate 24 hours notice of this if at all possible.

In addition, we ask that (especially in busy periods) you continue to wear a face covering in the public areas of the clinic.

Thank you for continuing to help us protect our team and more vulnerable patients so that we can continue to look after you all.
