What causes back pain?

Back pain is a widespread problem that can come on slowly or strike suddenly, often triggered by poor posture, muscle imbalances, injury, or conditions like disc bulges, arthritis, or sciatica.

To make it clearer, we’ve broken it down into key areas:

    • Aching, sharp, or shooting pain in the back

    • Stiffness or reduced flexibility

    • Muscle spasms or tenderness

    • Pain that worsens with bending, lifting, or sitting too long

  • Back pain can stem from a wide range of issues, from major injuries to everyday habits that strain your spine. Common causes include:

    • Poor lifting technique or exercise form

    • Sports-related injuries

    • Repetitive movements or overuse

    • Prolonged poor posture or muscle imbalances

    • Sudden spikes in physical activity

    • Age-related disc degeneration or joint wear

    • Underlying conditions (e.g. sciatica, arthritis, or herniated discs)

  • We treat a wide range of back issues—from everyday aches to complex or long-term injuries. Common conditions we help with include:

    • Muscle strains or spasms – often from overuse, poor posture, or lifting incorrectly

    • Herniated or bulging discs – pressure on spinal nerves causing sharp pain, numbness, or tingling

    • Sciatica – irritation of the sciatic nerve leading to pain that travels down the leg

    • Facet joint dysfunction – joint inflammation causing stiffness and localised pain

    • Degenerative disc disease – age-related disc wear that leads to chronic discomfort

    • Spinal stenosis – narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses nerves

    • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction – pain in the lower back or pelvis from joint misalignment

    Whether you’re facing persistent back pain, nerve irritation, or stiffness, our experienced physios can build a tailored treatment plan to help restore movement, strength, and comfort.

How do we treat
back pain?

Chiropractic or physiotherapy for back pain starts with a detailed assessment to identify the root cause, whether it’s posture-related, spinal joint dysfunction, or muscle imbalance. From there, we create a personalised treatment plan to ease pain, restore mobility, and prevent future flare-ups. Common treatments include:

  • A person receives physical therapy, stretching arm; mirrored reflection.

    Active Release Technique

    Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands-on physio method for back pain that targets tight or injured muscles, fascia, or tendons. Applying tension while moving the spine helps break up scar tissue and restore mobility, ideal for strains or postural tightness.

    Dry Needling

    Dry needling relieves deep-seated tension in the back muscles by triggering a twitch response that helps release knots, reduce inflammation, and speed up healing. It’s especially useful for chronic tightness or stubborn pain that doesn’t respond well to massage alone.

    Exercise Therapy

    As your back pain begins to ease, we’ll guide you through targeted exercises to improve core strength, spinal support, and flexibility. Whether your pain started from work, lifting, or poor posture—these movements support long-term recovery and prevent re-injury.

    Kinesio Tape, Cupping & More

    We may also use kinesio taping, cupping, Graston scraping, and other manual therapies to support your back between sessions. These treatments help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, promote better posture, and enhance spinal stability as you heal.

back pain physiotherapy FAQ

  • Yes, physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to treat back pain. It addresses the root cause, whether it’s muscle strain, disc issues, or poor posture, and uses hands-on treatment and rehab to relieve pain, restore movement, and prevent it from coming back.

  • At Elite HP, we use a combination of techniques including manual therapy, dry needling, Active Release Technique (ART), exercise rehab, and spinal mobility work. Each plan is tailored to your specific condition to speed up recovery and reduce flare-ups.

  • You should see a physio if your back pain lasts more than a few days, keeps coming back, or limits your daily activities. The sooner you get assessed, the easier it is to treat—delaying care can make things worse over time.

  • Recovery time varies depending on the cause and severity. Some people feel noticeable relief after 1–2 sessions, while others may need a few weeks of consistent treatment and rehab. At Elite HP, we aim to give you lasting results, not keep you coming back forever.

  • No, you don’t need a referral to book an appointment with a physiotherapist at Elite HP. Just give us a call or book online and we’ll get you started with a personalised assessment and treatment.

  • Recurring back pain often points to an underlying issue, like poor posture, muscle imbalances, or weak core stability. At Elite HP, we focus on correcting the root cause through targeted treatment and rehab to stop the cycle and keep your back strong for good.
