How we help you

Evidence-based care for back pain

Back pain is one of the most common conditions we treat, and one of the most successfully improved

How chiropractic care can help back pain

Back pain looks different for everyone

Our focus is simple: understand what’s driving your symptoms and address the root cause, not just temporarily ease discomfort. We use gentle, evidence-based techniques tailored to your condition, comfort and goals. We assess thoroughly, explain clearly and create a plan built around you.

You might be experiencing:

Lower back pain when sitting or standing
Sharp pain when bending or lifting
Stiffness first thing in the morning
Pain spreading into the hips or legs
Recurring flare-ups that never fully settle

Back pain can affect your sleep, work, exercise and daily life, but you don’t have to just live with it. We’re here to help you understand what’s happening and guide you towards recovery.

When should you see a chiropractor for back pain?

You should consider seeing a chiropractor if:

Your back pain isn’t improving
It keeps coming back
It’s affecting your sleep, work or daily life
Pain is spreading into your hips or legs

Early assessment can help identify the cause and prevent it becoming long-term.

Back pain patient success stories

High levels of expertise, friendly staff and all is well managed. Grateful to Willow for assisting with the improvements to my health and wellbeing.

Chris Bratchel

I look forward to every visit because of how friendly the reception staff are and knowing I am being well looked after. I would recommend this place to anybody.

Georgina Sims

Since starting treatment, I have so much more energy and I’m sleeping much better. The whole team is lovely, nothing is ever a problem and they always make you feel so welcome.

Kelly

Started when I was pregnant, and it helped so much with rib pain and other aches I was having due to my body changing shape and growing.

Julianne Babcock

Much less headaches and my sleep pattern is so much better. I am no longer constantly taking paracetamol for pain relief. This has immensely increased my well being.

Michelle Stockham

My pain is really getting better. I had lower back pain which has improved massively and now working on my left shoulder which is improving with every appointment.

Zia Rahman

After only a month I’m already feeling a big difference. I highly recommend Willow Chiropractic to anyone who has lost hope of getting pain free!

Back pain frequently asked questions

1What causes back pain?

Back pain can develop for many reasons, including: • muscle strain or ligament injury • joint restriction in the spine • disc irritation or herniation • poor posture • repetitive movements • prolonged sitting or desk work According to the NHS, back pain is one of the most common health complaints in the UK. • First appointment (30 minutes): o A detailed discussion about your symptoms, health history, lifestyle and how your body has been feeling. • Second appointment (30 minutes): o A full explanation of what we’ve found, what may be causing your symptoms, and what your options are moving forward. If chiropractic care is appropriate for you, we can begin treatment after your second appointment.

2Can chiropractic help back pain?

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a chiropractor. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring movement in the spine and reducing tension in surrounding joints and muscles. Many patients experience improvements in mobility, comfort and overall function.

3Can a chiropractor help lower back pain?

Chiropractors specialise in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions affecting the spine. Chiropractic treatment for lower back pain focuses on improving spinal movement, reducing nerve irritation and restoring healthy function.

4Is chiropractic good for lower back pain?

Research suggests chiropractic care may help improve pain and mobility in people experiencing lower back pain, particularly when combined with exercise and movement-based rehabilitation.

5Can back pain cause leg pain?

Yes. Irritation in the lower spine can affect nerves that travel into the legs, sometimes causing pain, tingling or numbness. This is often referred to as sciatica.

6Can poor posture cause back pain?

Yes. Long periods of sitting, desk work or poor posture can place strain on the spine and surrounding muscles, leading to discomfort over time.

7Can stress cause back pain?

Stress can increase muscle tension throughout the body, particularly in the neck and back, which may worsen existing pain.

8Should I rest or keep moving for back pain?

Movement is usually recommended. Staying gently active helps your body recover, while prolonged rest can sometimes slow recovery.

9Is walking good for back pain?

In many cases, yes. Gentle walking can help keep the spine moving and support recovery. However, individual symptoms vary, so a clinical assessment can help guide the best approach for you.

10What is the fastest way to relieve back pain?

Simple steps such as staying active, using heat or ice, and gentle stretching may help ease symptoms. Chiropractic care focuses on improving spinal movement and reducing strain that builds up over time.

11How long does back pain take to heal?

Recovery time varies depending on the cause, how long symptoms have been present and lifestyle factors. Your chiropractor will provide guidance based on your individual assessment.

12Can back pain cause constipation?

In some cases, irritation in the lower spine may affect nerves that influence digestive function. While back pain itself does not usually directly cause constipation, both issues can sometimes be linked to nerve irritation or reduced movement. A thorough clinical assessment helps determine whether spinal function may be contributing to symptoms.

13Will my back pain go away on its own?

Many cases of back pain improve naturally. However, without addressing underlying movement issues, symptoms can sometimes return.

14Why does my back pain keep coming back?

Recurring back pain is often linked to underlying movement patterns, posture, lifestyle factors or unresolved joint restrictions.

15When should I seek help for back pain?

If your back pain is not improving, keeps returning, or begins to affect your daily activities, it is a good time to seek professional advice. Early assessment can often help people recover more quickly and confidently.

16Do I need an X-ray?

In most cases, no. Scans are rarely needed for back pain and often do not change treatment. If clinically appropriate, we can arrange imaging as part of your assessment.

17How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on the cause and duration of your symptoms. Your chiropractor will explain a personalised care plan during your consultation.

18What could improvement look like?

Our focus is not just short-term relief, but sustainable progress: • Moving comfortably. • Sleeping without pain waking you. • Returning to exercise or hobbies. • Feeling confident your back will support you again.
