Back Pain Care in Essendon
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek healthcare support. It can affect people of all ages and activity levels, whether it starts suddenly or builds gradually over time. For some, it’s a mild annoyance. For others, it can interfere with work, sleep, exercise, and everyday movement.
Many people find that checking in early helps them understand what may be contributing to their symptoms and make informed choices to support comfortable movement and daily activity.
At Inline Health Chiropractic, back pain care is approached with the understanding that no two people experience discomfort in the same way. Support is personalised and considers how the spine, muscles, joints, and nervous system work together. If you are dealing with back pain, guidance and care options are available.
What Causes Back Pain?
Back pain can develop for many reasons. Often, several factors are involved rather than one single cause. Common contributors include:
- Muscle strain or tension from daily activities
- Prolonged sitting or poor posture
- Disc changes such as bulges or herniation
- Nerve irritation, including sciatica
- Joint stiffness or age-related changes
- Repetitive movements or physical overuse
- Sudden injuries or heavy lifting
How Back Pain Is Assessed
Assessment begins with listening. Your practitioner takes time to understand your history, lifestyle, and concerns. Posture and movement are observed, and joints, muscles, and nerves are checked to identify contributing factors. Imaging is only considered when clinically appropriate.
Common Back Pain Symptoms
Back pain can present in different ways. You may notice:
- Localised discomfort or stiffness
- Sharp, dull, or aching sensations
- Pain that travels into the hips or legs
- Reduced flexibility or movement
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Tingling or numbness when nerves are involved
