Lower Back

Lower back pain, sciatica, lumbar disc bulges and chronic mechanical back pain — one of the most common reasons patients come to us. Evidence-based assessment and graded, active treatment.

Lower-Back Conditions We Treat

Acute lumbar strain

The classic “put-my-back-out” episode. Most settle within a few weeks with early gentle movement and reassurance.

Sciatica / radiculopathy

Nerve-root pain radiating into the buttock and leg from a lumbar disc bulge or foraminal stenosis.

Lumbar disc bulge / prolapse

Managed conservatively in the vast majority of cases — imaging findings alone don’t need surgery.

Chronic mechanical back pain

Persistent low back pain beyond 12 weeks — addressed with graded loading, pain education and lifestyle change.

Facet joint / SIJ pain

Localised or referred pain from the facet joints or sacroiliac joint — responds well to manual therapy and specific exercise.
