Lower Back Pain From Sitting
Modern lifestyles often require long periods of sitting.
Sitting places increased pressure on the lower back and can lead to:
-
Tight hip flexors
-
Weak core muscles
-
Reduced spinal mobility
-
Ongoing stiffness and discomfort
If you spend much of your day at a desk, chiropractic care combined with posture and movement advice may help improve your comfort and function.
Lower Back Pain From Sport
Active individuals commonly experience lower back pain due to:
-
Running injuries
-
Gym-related strain
-
Golf injuries
-
Rugby injuries
-
Repetitive movement patterns
Our goal is to help you recover efficiently and return to the activities you enjoy.
Lower Back Pain and ACC
If your lower back pain is related to an injury, you may be eligible for ACC support.
