About Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons Australians seek chiropractic care, affecting roughly four million people at any given time. Whether you are dealing with acute lower back pain from lifting, chronic mid-back stiffness from desk work, or upper back tension from poor posture, a qualified chiropractor can help identify the root cause and develop a personalised treatment plan. Chiropractic treatment for back pain typically begins with a thorough assessment including posture analysis, range-of-motion testing, and orthopaedic examination. Based on the findings, your chiropractor may use spinal adjustments, mobilisation techniques, soft-tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises to restore proper alignment and reduce pain. Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association supports spinal manipulation as an effective option for acute low back pain. Many patients report significant relief within the first few visits, though chronic cases may require a longer management plan. Australian chiropractors are five-year university-trained, AHPRA-registered healthcare professionals who take an evidence-based approach to musculoskeletal care. Beyond pain relief, chiropractic care for back pain focuses on preventing recurrence through core strengthening, ergonomic advice, and lifestyle modifications. If your back pain is accompanied by numbness, tingling, or loss of bladder control, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Back Pain FAQs
How many chiropractic sessions do I need for back pain?
Most patients with acute back pain notice improvement within 4 to 6 sessions. Chronic back pain may require an extended care plan of 8 to 12 sessions, followed by periodic maintenance visits. Your chiropractor will reassess progress regularly and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
Is chiropractic treatment safe for back pain?
Yes. Chiropractic care is widely recognised as a safe and effective treatment for back pain. Australian chiropractors complete five years of university training and are registered with AHPRA. Serious adverse events are extremely rare, and your chiropractor will screen for any contraindications before treatment.
Can a chiropractor help with lower back pain during pregnancy?
Absolutely. Many chiropractors are trained in prenatal techniques such as the Webster Technique, which can safely relieve lower back pain during pregnancy. Modified adjustment positions and gentle mobilisation are used to accommodate the changing body throughout each trimester.
