Lower Back Pain Treatment The Gap
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. Whether you're dealing with a sudden injury or ongoing discomfort, lower back pain can make everyday tasks difficult - from working, lifting, and walking, to simply getting out of bed.
At Spine Studios in The Gap, we help people from all walks of life - especially tradies and manual workers - get relief from lower back pain and return to doing what they love. With over 65 years of combined experience, our team is passionate about delivering effective, hands-on care tailored to your specific needs.
What Causes Lower Back Pain?
Lower back pain can arise from a variety of causes, including:
Lifting injuries or repetitive strain
Poor posture or long hours sitting
Joint dysfunction
Muscle tightness or imbalance
Disc injuries or degeneration
Previous trauma (such as a fall or motor vehicle accident)
Whether your pain has appeared suddenly or has built up over time, our goal is to identify the underlying cause and provide treatment that helps you feel better, move better, and function better.
Acute vs Chronic Back Pain
Acute lower back pain typically comes on suddenly, often after a strain, awkward movement or injury. It may be sharp, intense, and limit your ability to move freely.
Chronic lower back pain tends to persist over weeks or months. It might be dull, nagging, or fluctuate with activity. Chronic pain can often involve underlying issues such as joint dysfunction, disc degeneration, or previous injuries that haven’t fully healed.
At Spine Studios, we tailor your care depending on the nature and stage of your condition.
How Chiropractic May Help Your Lower Back Pain
Chiropractic care aims to restore normal movement to the spine, reduce pressure on irritated nerves, and support the body’s natural healing ability.
Treatment for lower back pain may include:
Spinal adjustments (Diversified technique)
Spinal decompression therapy to relieve disc pressure
Soft tissue therapy to release muscle tension
Activator or drop-piece techniques for gentler care
Rehabilitation exercises to support long-term recovery
Our focus is always on helping you feel better safely and effectively — with a plan that supports both short-term relief and long-term improvement.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your initial consultation will include a thorough clinical history and examination, including orthopaedic and neurological testing. If necessary, we may refer you for imaging such as x-rays or MRI to better understand the condition of your spine.
From there, we’ll outline a clear plan of care, which may include acute pain management over the first few weeks, followed by a transition into sub-acute and long-term support.
Many of our patients are hardworking tradespeople who place daily strain on their bodies. We understand the physical demands of your work and provide care that’s both practical and effective. We also educate you on how to protect your spine and reduce the chance of re-injury.
If you’re struggling with lower back pain, whether it’s new or long-standing, Spine Studios is here to help.
