Spine & Back Pain Care

Back pain is common and usually improves with the right guidance. We assess the likely contributors to your pain and build a personalised plan to help you move and function more comfortably.

What it is

Back pain can arise from muscles, joints, discs or movement patterns, and is often influenced by activity, posture and overall health. Most back pain is not caused by serious disease.

Why it may be considered

An assessment helps clarify what is contributing to your pain and rule out features that need further investigation, so your plan can be targeted rather than generic.

Common reasons people seek assessment

These are reasons to seek a professional assessment — not a promise that a specific treatment will suit everyone.

How it generally works

Care often combines hands-on therapy, a progressive exercise programme and practical advice on activity and load. Equipment-based modalities may be used where appropriate. The emphasis is on helping you stay active and build confidence in movement.

What an appointment may involve

1

Discussion of your symptoms, history and any red-flag screening.

2

Assessment of movement, strength and the affected region.

3

A personalised plan with clear goals.

4

Treatment, exercise and review.

Precautions & when further assessment is needed

Some symptoms need prompt medical attention — for example, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin, significant leg weakness, unexplained weight loss or fever. If you experience these, seek urgent medical care rather than waiting for an appointment.

Frequently asked questions

Not usually. Scans are considered only when specific findings suggest they would change management. We will advise if referral is appropriate.

Staying gently active is generally helpful. Your plan will guide safe, graded activity for your situation.
