The susceptibility of the back to injury and pain is due to its inherent instability, similar to the neck. Unlike the thoracic spine, which is stabilised and supported by the rib cage, the back’s structure allows for greater mobility - enabling us to touch our toes, tie our shoes, or pick something up from the floor. However, this increased flexibility comes at the cost of a higher risk of injury.
When the back is healthy and functioning correctly, it can endure tremendous forces without injury. Professional powerlifters, for example, can lift several hundred pounds off the floor without harming their backs. However, if the back is misaligned or its supporting muscles are weakened, even seemingly simple actions -such as lifting a bag of shopping from the boot of your car, picking something up off the floor, or bending down to stroke your cat - can lead to back injuries.
How Can I Treat Back Pain?
At Nova Clinic, we offer effective, non-invasive treatments for lower back pain, including Acupuncture, Chiropractic care, and Sports Massage. These therapies, along with supportive techniques such as electroacupuncture, moxibustion and cupping, help address the root cause of pain rather than just masking symptoms.
While options like muscle relaxants, pain killers, and bed rest may provide temporary relief, they do not correct the underlying issue. Our expert practitioners have a proven track record of successfully treating lower back pain, helping patients achieve lasting relief.

Understanding the Causes of Back Pain?
Back pain can stem from a variety of conditions, including sprained ligaments, strained muscles, ruptured discs, trigger points, and inflamed joints. While sports injuries or accidents can certainly contribute to back pain, even simple movements - like bending down to pick up a pencil - can lead to discomfort. Other factors such as arthritis, poor posture, obesity, psychological stress, and even medical conditions like kidney stones, infections, blood clots, or bone loss can also be culprits.
Given the many potential causes - some of which can be serious - it’s essential to seek professional care. Our chiropractors specialise in diagnosing and treating lower back pain, ensuring you receive the most effective and targeted treatment. Acupuncture is another highly effective therapy for back pain. Alternatively you may choose a Sports Massage of Deep Tissue Massage, which can help relieve tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
Can a Herniated Disk Cause Back Pain?
Despite common misconceptions, a herniated disk doesn’t always lead to pain. Research shows that nearly half of all adults have at least one bulging or herniated disk without experiencing symptoms. However, in some cases, herniated disks can cause severe, radiating pain that significantly impacts daily life.
While disks rarely heal completely on their own, non-invasive natural therapies, such as Chiropractic or Acupuncture can help prevent further deterioration. With the right intervention, significant relief and even full recovery are possible.
What are the Most Common Causes of Cack Pain?
One of the leading causes of lower back pain is sprains, strains, and muscle spasms, often seen in "weekend warriors" - those who engage in little physical activity during the week but push themselves too hard on the weekends. Overexerting the muscles and ligaments in the lower back can cause small tears in the tissue, leading to pain, swelling, and tightness.
What Are Subluxations?
A subluxation occurs when the vertebrae shift out of their normal position or movement pattern, causing pain and inflammation. In the lower spine, this commonly happens at the transition between the lumbar spine and the sacrum. Subluxations are highly treatable, and many patients experience immediate relief following chiropractic adjustments.
Can Stress Contribute to Back Pain?
Absolutely. Stress triggers an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, and stress hormones, which in turn cause muscles to tighten. Chronic stress can lead to persistent muscle tension, soreness, weakness, and the formation of painful trigger points. If stress is a contributing factor to your back pain, relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, along with regular physical activity, can be highly beneficial.
