Back Pain FAQs
What does treatment for back pain involve?
At the injury Clinic our tailored approach to back pain treatment combines hands-on-therapy, movement correction and rehab exercises to first relieve pain and then prevent future issues.
Your treatment may include:
- Manual therapy – working on your muscles and joints around your spine.
- Posture and movement retraining – addressing imbalances and habits.
- Exercise rehabilitation – mobility and strengthening exercises
- Medical acupuncture or dry needling (if appropriate)
- Electrotherapy treatments (e.g. ultrasound, shockwave therapy etc.)
What are the common symptoms of back pain?
Back Pain can vary widely but common symptoms include:
- Aching or stiffness in the lower or upper back.
- Sharp or shooting pain, particularly with movementÂ
- Pain that radiates into the buttocks or down the legs (sciatica)
- Muscle spasms or tightness
- Difficulty, pain or feeling of weakness with standing, sitting or bending.
If your pain is persistent, getting worse or stopping you from doing daily activities then its time to seek professional treatment.
How do I know if my back pain is severe?
Most back pain isn’t severe but some symptoms indicate a more serious issue. Seek urgent medical attention if you experience:
- Severe pain that doesn’t improveÂ
- Numbness, tingling or weakness in your legs or feet
- Loss of bladder or bowel controlÂ
- Unexplained weight loss alongside back pain
- Pain after trauma (e.g. fall or accident)
When should I seek treatment for back pain?
While some back pain improves on its own, the truth is, most people ‘put up with’ back pain for much longer than they need to before seeking treatment.
Recovery from back pain can take several weeks to months. If you have been experiencing your back symptoms for more than a few days to a week, affecting daily activities, have recurring symptoms or are experiencing high levels of pain and discomfort, it’s crucial to seek advice early and gain an understanding of what is going on to further guide your recovery.
Receiving the right treatment at the right time can prevent longterm issues and speed up recovery.
Why does my back hurt in the morning?
Morning back pain is common and can often be due to:
- Sleeping position – poor alignment can put strain on your back overnight.
- Mattress & pillow issues – a mattress that’s too soft or too firm for your back can cause discomfort.
- Inflammation or stiffness – conditions like arthritis, facet joint and sacroiliac joint irritation or muscle tightness can lead to increased discomfort in the mornings.
Stretching, movement, adjusting your sleep setup and improving spinal mobility can often help.
Are painkillers the best thing to take for back pain?
Painkillers like anti-inflammatories (e.g. ibuprofen, naproxen etc.) may provide temporary relief but they don’t address the root cause of back pain.
In fact, research suggests that painkillers and NSAIDs may affect recovery times and pose potential serious longterm side-effects to health.
Over-relying on medication can mask symptoms without fixing the underlying issue, delaying recovery and prolonging back pain.
What are the best exercises for back pain?
Exercise should form an essential part of your back pain treatment to reduce symptoms, improve mobility and increase strength and stability in the back and core for a full recovery.
However, doing the wrong exercises at the wrong stage or doing too much too soon can aggravate and even worsen your back pain. As the type of back pain can vary widely, we always recommend getting personalised advice and guidance on the right exercises for your specific back condition.
Our team are trained to ensure that the exercises you receive are safe, achievable and appropriate throughout your recovery journey. We also have an onsite rehabilitation gym to support you back to full activity at every stage of your recovery.
